Watching Ravi Bopara turning back the years.Has he played a better innings?One of only a handful of players still playing in The Blast who was there at the start.One of the others is of course our mate Samit Patel.

There is no CMN except to say Jar Jar Bloody Binks…again…

Seems to spend a lot of time sleeping @desperate-dan.A two seater all to herself?Spoilt rotten.

How strange that in the last few days the Challenge has featured three levels for which Kathy was the trophy holder. Out of respect it ought to be customary not to compete for such an award but I guess not everyone got the memo.

Here is Miss September, signifying the first day of meteorological autumn. Of course it is called autumn. How else could things be autumnal?

Sadly symptomatic of World cups these days .Football WC also becoming bloated with 48 teams next year and I believe 64 is a number being talked about for 2030.Just results in yet more meaningless one sided matchups and overall quality suffers.Best WC ever was 1970 where 16 teams qualified but every game seemed to matter.

A pixel of change in shot direction can result in multiple different results. Also, HOW the structure pieces impact each other affects scores. Every time a piece strikes another piece is more points, so more tumbling, bouncing, faliing increases scores.

Agree, The Hundred is good fun. Watching the finals now. Anything but women’s rugby. Seems like a farcical format although there has been now been one close match out of about 12,

Rumours of Donalds death are quite worrying.Vance is Veep.

Pity about the Eliminator tonight.Hardly a Hundred game ruined by the weather and now this.Hope the final goes ahead as I think it’s a tournament that has improved year on year.Deserves a fitting finale.

I do like it’s quirkiness so I hope the new investors don’t try to homogenise it into just another T20 tournament.
