Thank you. It is all about making money. And the less we talk about service and time taken (on return) the better - nothing good to say sadly.

Saw and heard the incessant boo-ing of Virat Kohli today at the MCG. Kohli is no saint but have everyone in this country forgotten that he was the one who essentially stopped the boo-ing of Stephen Smith post 2019? But it is easy to make Kohli the villain.
Thank you @FacultiNet for highlighting this research. Joint work with my fantastic co-author @inhouseconomist. Open access paper: dropbox.com/scl/fi/rz98rr7o6…. @MonashBusiness

The always fantastic @bengroundwater writes: "The UK has been improving of late, thanks to a certain former colony’s embrace of coffee culture, though if you wander into a Costa or a Caffe Nero (or another of the UK’s many coffee chains), best of luck to you". Can't agree more!!!
Thank you @KartikeyaBatra. This is fantastic.

I have been an avid follower of Indian cricket since 1977 (the Tony Grieg series). Except for the 1983 (West Indies series) I can't remember Indian bowlers treated with this kind of disdain in home conditions consistently. It is as if India is playing away and England at home.
Oh Boy!
