Of all England openers to have played 50 innings or more Crawley has the lowest average of just 30. Is it time to restart the Zack Crawley culture war? A huge sample size suggests he just isn't good enough unless the wicket is gunbarrel straight.

And me to a list 🙂

Can you add @jokinghazard.bsky.social to the publishers list please 🙂

Hello!

Accrington Stanley? Who are they?

What's the recipe?!

One of my favourite albums of the year getting a spin

Richer Sounds?

I used to think I loved listening to the cricket on the radio, but I don't. I love listening to TMS on the radio... Talk Sport is a bit shit. It's is like asking your ears to shop at Poundland for cricket coverage

About to make some pistachio cordial for a cocktail later

Cocktails and board games. A perfect combination

Good stuff 🙂

Too busy saving test cricket to worry about winning anything

True facts

Yeah it sucks. I think they said 10% but we'll see, I'm not convinced the tariffs will happen

We have not - we can't replace Amazon as it provides huge chunk of sales but always looking to add new distro channels so will check that out. Thanks!

Our factory also has a factory in Vietnam and we looked at potentially moving production there but it would add approximately 5% to the manufacturing cost plus another 5% in getting the raw materials to the factory so at the moment it's not worth moving. We're planning on absorbing the tarif cost.

The biggest and easiest platform to sell direct to customers is of course Amazon... but they take a huge chunk in fees. It still works out better than selling to distro but you don't end up making a huge amount more.

If Tiger & Dragon wasn't so amazing I'd be annoyed it wasn't the same size box 😆

When I go to Essen I always schedule a visit to their stand the first morning before I start my meetings lol This year I brought these home:

I couldn't smash like on the post hard enough. I love Oink games! My collection feels somewhat inadequate compared to yours though. Our family are currently obsessed with Dro Polter 😍

Yes! Logan is one of the best

Terrific! Best cricket pod on the internets. I was starting to feel sad that it was gone.
