OK. But interesting to see the names you listed who aren't there.

and of those who played last summer, Glenn (who's centrally contracted) and Davidson-Richards (who isn't) aren't in the 30 either

@adamchase.bsky.social an addition to your "why Britain is like that" with @lateralcast.com - TJ Maxx and TK Maxx have the same ownership, hence their similar branding. Their stores couldn't be called TJ Maxx in the UK because there was already an established UK retail chain called TJ Hughes

Bournemouth news: Opinion - Mark Mitchener on Alex Scott Bournemouth news: Opinion - Mark Mitchener on Alex Scott

Wrote this a few weeks ago - most sporting predictions I make crash and burn, but I suggested in September that this might be #afcb midfielder Alex Scott's season to shine. Congratulations on his England call-up.

Bournemouth news: Philip Billing is the biggest loss to fans Bournemouth news: Philip Billing is the biggest loss to fans

Some words on Philip Billing's time at #afcb - contains skullduggery, hoodwinkery, Woodgate's tactical switch, the rocket at Forest, the nine-second Arsenal goal, the lob against Burnley, and two vital assists: for Kieffer Moore, and for Tom Lockyer.

Such a shame - I went to the three KSL Finals Days at Hove which were v.well attended with good facilities laid on, despite what I'm sure was a tiny marketing budget.

Though a lingering memory of 2019 was ECB's Tom Harrison getting booed at the presentation ceremony when he mentioned the Hundred!

Never mind the prime numbers, star performer for me was the groundstaff for getting a match on at all, which had looked unlikely 2-3 hours earlier.

Thought that would be the case! Hope it goes well.

And to show why you should never trust my predictions... Lancashire win at a relative canter. Well played them.

Hants finish on 173-5. Would have bitten the proverbial hand off for that at 11-3 !

No sign of the @crickether.com win predictor but as we're technically in Berkshire, surely a home win on the cards?!

Boxing Day 1989 at Filbert Street. Lost 2-1 to a Leicester side who had Gary McAllister in midfield (number 10, when he still had a half-decent head of hair) and a young Kevin Campbell, on loan from Arsenal, up front.

Leap of faith here - if Callan McKenna were to play for Scotland on Monday, with Benji Buchel likely to be in goal for Liechtenstein, surely it'd be the first time that current and former #afcb goalkeepers faced each other in a full international where neither had made it off the first-team bench?

AFC Bournemouth - Transfer news, results, fixtures, video and audio The home of AFC Bournemouth on BBC Sport online. Includes the latest news stories, transfers, results, fixtures, video and audio.

Have tried to gather some thoughts on a remarkable season for #afcb - and like all the best sci-fi epics, it's been divided into three parts.

The stats. The emotions. And the goals.

I really tried not to get carried away. It can all be found on BBC Sport's AFCB page.

Terrific bowling by Emily Arlott. Was extremely impressed by her in a RHF Trophy game I watched at Wormsley a couple of years ago, surprised England have taken this long to cap her but thrilled she's started so well.

Also keep thinking it sounds like West Indies have a player called Downton Abbey?!

UAE retire out 10 batters against Qatar to beat rain in Women's T20 World Cup Asia qualifier United Arab Emirates get clever to beat Qatar and the rain by retiring out 10 batters in the Women’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier.

More on today's crazy scenes in Thailand - the UAE women's coach explains why he "retired out" the entire side against Qatar. Via Matt Henry (the BBC Sport one, not the NZ seam bowler):

Somewhat bizarrely, all four teams relegated from League One have had their relegation confirmed because of a result for Burton Albion. Who are now 20th with one game to go.

Sunday will be the first chance for 68 years for Bournemouth supporters to watch #afcb in an FA Cup quarter-final (as the 2021 QF was during the fan-less "Covid season").

Time for a brief look down memory lane? Set the Dean Court DeLorean for 1957...
