I always thought ‘inform’ was the important part of the broadcasting mantra ‘inform, educate, entertain’. Even if my expert summariser was a friend, give their full name, to avoid listeners wondering ‘who was that?’

Lord’s will not host any cricket for 18 days in the build-up to next summer’s Ashes Test in a bid to ensure the pitch plays as well as possible. They’ve also dug up the one on which England played NZ in June dailymail.com/sport/cricket/…
It’s a massive call … the best bowler … I’m sure we will shortly find out the dialogue between SJA and the Club

England's ODI tri-series in Pakistan that started today looks like a tipping point in terms of fixture saturation. First tour I can remember (outside Covid) where there are ZERO UK national newspaper journalists covering. Administrators killing interest with overkill
Great game ! 👍
Replying to @BumbleCricket @ASFCofficial
Thanks for the photo mate great to meet you hope York treat you well!
YCFC v ASFC … Stanley were great value … York kept going ..late equaliser… super game @ASFCofficial
As Mr Humphries said , “ I’m free …”
Pakistan is hosting an ODI Tri-Nation Series featuring Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka, starting tomorrow, but the commentary lineup is seriously underwhelming!
No Nasser Hussain, no Michael Atherton, no Russell Arnold and no other big names you'd expect for a series of this level.
Honestly, what’s the point of hosting international cricket if you can’t even bring a world-class commentary panel?

Former SAS commanding officer:
Read this powerful article by @thetimes , and reflect on what has been shared..
This is not just “persecution by (extremely clumsy) process” imposed upon active-duty SAS operators fighting to detain vicious ISIS thugs in an active war zone, but also an example of performative self-immolation initiated by the most senior UK Special Forces officer at the time (G Jenkins) as self-serving exercise in what HE calls ‘transparency’……
So, if someone, anyone (quite possibly an enemy) within an active war zone says the SAS killed an unarmed man, then the so-called ‘senior leaders’ (some, as in this case, with near-zero combat experience) within the Whitehall-based ‘UK system’ desperate to demonstrate something that they call ‘transparency’ (or whatever else floats the MOD’s boat), will automatically launch an aggressive RMP operation to detain the SAS men involved….
Not on the basis of any hard evidence (there is no crime scene, no bodies, no bullets etc), but purely on distant, uncorroborated hearsay and remote, delayed analysis of operational reports; all supported by desk-bound, chinless leaders that seemingly care more about how they will (personally) look in an MOD promotion board than trying to properly understand the circumstances faced by the SAS men and defend them accordingly.
What a gift this utterly pathetic weakness, low threshold investigative process and twisted self-defeating system gives to our many enemies….and what an awful message it sends to those that still volunteer to fight on our all of our behalves….

Lots of discussion about why @NorthantsCCC enjoyed such an encouraging season - and one important factor was a properly-organised and focused pre-season tour to SA in March. Fair to say not every tour in the past had those qualities in abundance!

It's been a long time since I looked forward to a Test series as much as I am for South Africa v Australia
Both cricket and the world have changed a lot since Sandpapergate 8 years ago. I've jotted down some thoughts on it for my Substack which I will be sharing tomorrow
