Window in office at home opened for the first time this year to help cool off a little :)
Suspect the heating will be back on tomorrow mind!

Wow, you never see catches at leg slip! Enter Dom Bess, what a grab!! #YCCC

Good job Bairstow took that, wasn’t really his catch, but hey :) #YCCC

Jack White is fast becoming my favourite Yorkshire player #YCCC

Great catch by Bean, especially considering the weather! Needed that mind #YCCC

I mean, it is of course only the third of April, so not a surprise that the Yorkshire match is delayed for rain! But, I’m ready :)

Yeah, only half though, and I’ll get to see some one day games which I don’t normally. And some 2nd team games at Weetwood, where I am :)

Indeed, it’s one of the most balanced teams I’ve seen from Yorkshire in a long while.
Really looking forward to the season. I retire at the end of May, so I’ll get to watch them a lot more from now on :)

I’ve just done my starting 11 and the only difference, I had Revis at 5 and Bairstow at 6. Which is how I’d like it to be, but I suspect you’re right.
It’s a pretty decent lineup I reckon

Not according to them :) but yes, I think they are talking nonesense! They should ask all the people that spent a fortune going to Australia to watch that abject performance what they think, I reckon they would come to a different conclusion

Brendon McCullum: Sacking England coach would have been 'easy thing to do' - ECB chief Head coach Brendon McCullum is the right man to move England forward despite the 4-1 Ashes defeat in Australia, says England and Wales Cricket Board chief executive Richard Gould.

I’m a great believer in Keep It Simple Stupid, if sacking him was easy, maybe that’s the right thing to do? Spoiler, he should be sacked

Good effort from New Zealand when they had their backs against the wall.
#T20WC

No, it wasn’t a great effort was it. Netherlands will be kicking themselves, they had that

Well done Pakistan, I thought they were dead and buried for sure.
#T20WC

Oh man, yeah, that’s right. Was a really really poor over. Good hitting, but not smart bowling

Wow, big over. Netherlands bowling was back of a length and causing trouble. Bowl in the slot to any half decent batter and they’ll hit you big!
#T20WC

Looking like game 1, first upset. Wonder if this might change Pakistans mind to play India?
#T20WC

Good performance last night, almost as good as a Harry Brook ODI 100 :)

I assume we are all Nederland fans this morning?

John Virgo dies aged 79 John Virgo, who co-presented TV show Big Break and commentated on the BBC for 47 years, has died.

Really sad news, he was a brilliant commentator, made every match come alive

If you think the answer to the question is Jamie Overton, I reckon you’re asking the wrong question!

Fuck me, he is unfuckinghinged!

Trump threatens 10% tariff on UK following defence of Greenland — The i Paper Tariffs will come into place on 1 February and may rise to 25 per cent at the beginning of June if a deal for the US to acquire Greenland is not agreed

Not that any more proof was needed, but this is a clear indication that America is no longer an ally of Wurope. This gives Russia everything they ever wanted, a crumbling of NATO, which is now more real than ever. Scary scary times.

The Ashes 2025/26 fifth Test - day five: England coach Brendon McCullum's post match interview Brendan McCullum says he's

His position is surely untenable.
I’ll disciplined batters
Awful bowling tactics
Poor preparation
Lack of specialist coaches
Hard for players to lose their place, no jeopardy for players
Non coherent spin tactic

All this the responsibility of the management

Woke up at just the right time to hear Bethell get his first 100! Though one of my AirPods ran out of battery and the second was hanging on :) I’ll remember where I was for sure !
#TheAshes

That would have been great, when it was 40C in Adelaide! :)

Yeah, it really is! Though I still managed to sunburn my hands!!

Happy Xmas everyone, from Melbourne. Here’s to a Boxing Day test win :)

Xmas is early in Australia, and what an awesome present I’ve got. It’s a sad sad story, but a great one :)
