‘He goes down easily - as you would in that situation’. #Savage advocates for the cheats (or at the very least accepts exaggeration as inevitable).

He’s right in the sense that everybody does it… but it’s orrible. For me, unacceptable. But the game has gone.

I am wondering if (non bluesky) Americans realise quite how shocking this is to people in other countries. It's literally impossible to imagine them doing something like this to our own historic political buildings without decades of debate first.
More seriously, some excellent batting from openers in particular has made this a stroll for #India… but #NZ surely had no option but to go BIG & go early? Given their predicament? 🤷🏻‍♂️

This late charge, erm TOO LATE?

#womensworldcup
Oof. Sue Redfern can’t get out of the way of a solid bunt downtown. #NZ unable to find anywhere near enough boundaries without the ump blocking them. 😉

#India cruising.

The heavily anticipated heavy rain comes down: may well spoil the crucial #India #NZ match, & make something of a mockery of the first stage of the tournament. Cricket administrators, eh?

The mighty wheels of the bowlingatvincent multinational corporation are beginning to turn. (They have to, right?) Because the book is nigh.

It takes a little time to load book files onto systems, which is why publishing companies typically ask for a month of pre-sales. I’ll be confirming dates very soon.

*Notes to universe*. #Sutherland may be the best fast bowler on the planet. She’s just scored 98 runs, after coming in when her side was in legitimate strife. Quality.

Robbed of her ton by a fellow all rounder - #Gardner… who made 104 not out. 👀

#Eng fan. But I would quite like to see both #Sutherland & #Gardner get their tons. Quality.

#Capsey gets some tap. I know her record is decent but for me she’s a limited, & very hittable bowler. A ‘part-timer’.

#Aus cruising to victory - after being in ‘some difficulty’. So what’s new?

'Get rid of the migrants or I'll become a migrant' is quite the argument
#Dean nearly a top, top-of-the-range all rounder. Good, cool bat. Excellent & agile in the field. But still bowls too many four balls - because she’s looking to give the ball a rip.
Needs to sort that: then brilliant.

#Ecclestone has been dropping a tad short. #Mooney rocks back & crashes it to mid wicket. #NSB takes a sharp catch.

#Aus now not many for FOUR…. 👀

#Eng #WomensWorldCup2025
The wows keep coming. One from #Smith sticks in the surface & #Perry dinks it straight back. 👀

#Aus are in some strife, at 26 for 3.

#Eng #WomensWorldCup2025
Wow. That is one shocking hoik from #Voll. Bowled, Smith. #Aus 21 for 2.

244 for 9. Feels about 50 short.

Understand #Aus are a *special case*, but by any metric #Eng surely waaay down?
