Watching the US Open tennis and there is a frequent ad for Lynx showing some guy spraying his dick. If they made toilet paper presumably he would be wiping his arse?

Yesterday Ireland defeated South Africa in a 50 over cricket international. The Irish Times appears to be unable to mention this in todays paper.

Murf was ahead of his time when quietly making this decision. He was a fine sportsman, captain, full back, wicket keeper batsman. He admitted he lacked a bit of pace as a full back. His Phoenix cricket and Wanderer's team mate Brian Freer described him as being "deceptively slow"

Watching US Open Tennis and impressed by the excellent, and attractive, "Not A Looker" commentator Marion Bartoli. John Inverdale, the "Not A Commentator" who used that appelation 10 years ago at Wimbledon, is absent. Wonder if Bartoli's mates have given her the nickname "NAL"?

This is the HSE. You have been in close contact with someone who talks about themselves too much. If you should experience similar symptoms revert to wearing a face mask and avoid asking people how they are. Happy Christmas is sufficient. Happy Christmas.

Great win, captaincy, planning, coaching. One question. With the ball swinging and bouncing and seamers all performing, why bowl a fourth over from Delany, especially with Moeen Ali at the crease? Dockrell had bowled one good one so that accounted for 4 from spinners.

Will defer to the answer @hallidaymick gave on @guerillacricket in 2018, nothing beats beating the English #yeeo

A few of old guard Irish cricketers I played with see 20/20 as not real cricket. That number is getting fewer, hopefully. That performance v the Windies will get extra kids into the nets.

True in Ireland, north and south, as well?
Great piece by ⁦@JananGanesh⁩ lamenting that too many talented folk in Western democracies go into law and finance, not politics. To which I’d only add - and into the media ⁦too ⁦@FT⁩ on.ft.com/3ofJduq
