If someone could bin it that would be great. Bit of a snoozefest so far.

I don’t think it is an odd take, tbh. The automated system regularly puts things out out of order. I get that the club relies on volunteers, and that it’s a lot of work, but the simple presentation of our Twitter feed on match days is way behind what others do. The fact that we don’t have a team sheet graphic is a basic example of this.

It’s at 15%, plenty juice left in it yet

The table posted was only after the Thursday night game. This is the table now:

It’s like handicap betting. If team A is -2.5 (and therefore team B +2.5), then team A has to win by 3 or more points if you pick them. Team B can lose by up to 2 points and be the winning pick.

I love him on comms, I’ve got to say. Particularly when he goes in to technical detail, I find him absolutely fascinating. Him, Broad and Simon Doull are great additions to the commentary team, imo.

NZ 147ao. A stroll in the end, despite the top order failing.

An unbeaten 95 off 78 balls from Liam Livingstone, assisted by handy innings of 30, 33 and 42 from Buttler, Ali and Curran respectively, dragged England up to 226/7 from the rain reduced 34 overs. In reply, NZ are currently 140/8 from 25.4. England should win from here with ease.

Depends on the circumstances. Generally sock sock shoe shoe, but after going swimming, for example, I would go sock shoe sock shoe.

Glad I remembered at the last minute. Hopefully do better than last year’s abomination.

No, it’ll never be normal. It is depressingly common, though.

Brydon Carse took 4 wickets on debut in the first game, and Gus Atkinson did the same in the second. Exciting to see another couple of express pace options for England to break. In domestic cricket, it’s the final week of the season. League wrapped up last week, today is the grand final between East champions Grange and west champions Ayr, taking place at Forfarshire’s Forthill in Broughty Ferry. Tomorrow is the rearranged T20 Scottish Cup final between Forfarshire and Carlton, taking place at Stirling’s New Williamfield. Forfs are looking to complete the cup double for the second year in a row. Only other game of importance this weekend is the playoff for promotion to the Eastern Premier League between SPCU champions Arbroath and ESCA champions Edinburgh South, that one taking place at Falkland’s Scroggie Park.

I’ve finished it. Yes, it makes sense in the end. Unsure how I feel about the end, mind, but it does tie it up.

I read on Twitter the other day that the Notre Dame games on sky are going to be the only available college games on UK TV this year.

Best job on the planet has got to be a backup quarterback in the NFL. 7 figure salary each year, get to sit and watch high quality sport every week, and if you do have to play, there are zero expectations on you. You can only become the hero. If you’re not, everyone expected that anyway. In terms of a realistic answer, I’d be a cricket club groundsman. Cut grass, or sit on a roller all day listening to music or podcasts or whatever. If I came in to enough money that I didn’t have to work, but also couldn’t afford to live a jet setting life, that’s what I’d do to fill my time.

Because the arm is straight. As long as the arm is above the perpendicular and doesn’t straighten by more than 15 degrees it’s fine.

This late race rain better not disappoint

He would have, but why risk Perez fighting it on track and fucking it for both of them? Verstappen wiped out 15 seconds in about 4 laps earlier, there’s no point in even pretending there’s a legitimate fight between them.

He’ll be about 10 seconds behind before they even get to pitting

I enjoy the sign chat. Is it still advertising the Annan game?

Week 1 - Falkirk Week 2 - Rangers Week 3 - Greenock Morton

Scottish cup final day today, Forfarshire, looking to go back to back, take on Uddingston at Titwood. Watch here:

Sounds like a direct replacement for Iain Wilson, tbh.
