Objectively quite funny seeing a lot of pretty wealthy journalists crying about the pension salary sacrifice changes. £2k a year is... Perfectly reasonable?

England crickets defeatism is insane. It's a game of wickets. Were they expecting 100/0?

I'm sure Harry Brook is absolutely devastated that Stephen Shemilt says his warm up innings was awful

This situation is a bit frustrating from a warm up perspective. I don't think Crawley and Duckett need practice at batting 5 overs for close of play, would be better to just call it and come back tomorrow. #ashes

Australia's determination to pick Cam Green come what may is baffling to me. It is not a small sample size and Webster has looked the superior player at Test level. #ashes

Pleased the NZ tour is over. Bit of a red herring I think, lost all 3 tosses and ODI form has been shite for years now. Will have no bearing on the ashes. Won't stop the usual suspects bleating on about preparation. #ashes

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

This is a really good piece on the risks of over-screening and why it's harmful. I know the relevant charities, celebs and pressure groups will lose their shit, but it sounds as though the NHS is going to stand by the evidence. www.thetimes.com/article/700d...

Counties have shot themselves in the foot for the umpteenth time. The players are unhappy and without them there is no CC. The old codger members don't have a clue about how the modern game is financed
Because I don’t have room to write this here I just want to post my message to my County Cricket Matters Facebook Group about the County Championship structure vote -

Andy Burnham effectively launching a leadership campaign against Keir Starmer in the Daily Telegraph shows very clearly he is entirely unfit to do the job. Abysmal political judgement. And as for the cut and paste populist policies, good luck with those in the real world, Andy. Grow the fuck up.

There is something to be said for not engaging with obvious nonsense. It's like trying to argue with flat earthers. It just gives the nonsense oxygen.

One for @jamesomalley.co.uk and @mjrobbins.com. It may not be housebuilding but yet another example of progressive,sustainable infrastructure being shot down by the reactionary mob. Very depressing.

Finally read Beyond a Boundary. Is it more or does CLR James come across as a complete knob? Perhaps it's just dated, but can't say I really enjoyed it. #cricket
