Tomorrow is St Lucy’s Day and her being a light in the darkness is celebrated in many European regions.

We have some bad news for the English. Following Australia's decision to ban social media among all under 16s, all their talented young cricketers are now going to devote all their time to learning cricket. It won't be possible to win a Test in Australia this century.
