Can someone explain to me how a test playing nation can be classed as an “emerging” cricket nation?
Three genuine emerging nations lost and 2 Assoc + 3 Full Members added to the Emerging Nations Trophy.

Hopefully you haven’t invested with Jeremy ….
Just received a letter from the dept of work and pensions; apparently I won’t receive the full state pension as I’d paid into a company pension scheme: what a joke:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Your state pension has been reduced because you were contracted out of the additional state pension while contributing to a company pension. This was because lower National Insurance contributions were paid during those years.

We’ve won more games this season than we did in the whole of 1991 (five games in 1991, inc v Stranraer in the cup) - you must have just hit lucky!
Mind the night Levellers played King Tuts in Nov ‘91, straight to Glasgow after being beaten by Motherwell at LSt.
Were you there?
An afternoon watching St Mirren win and an evening watching Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and The Levellers at the Barrowlands. 1991 all over again!

Great to bump into Frankie today and hear that the podcast is back in the pipeline!

It was always great seeing what our engineers & scientists could do, esp in fields I knew nothing of before joining 3M.
Great to see those innovations & collaborations continue, both in huge public fields like F1 and behind the scenes in medicine.

Well played Bosh, just a pity that just over 100 folk were @EmiratesOT to watch today (plus maybe a dozen more inside the pavilion).
Hopefully everyone who moans about Lancs on SM go to the games next season & we’re looking at a lot of healthy attendances encouraging the team.
Match abandoned at Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground due to bad light and the match is drawn.

A great wee review by @anitathetweeter - though to be fair, she did "write the book" - even getting pointillism into the mix!
But not having heard of Sticky Willy?
'Bake Off and Nigella are a match made in heaven. She brings glamour, intelligence and poise. And, of course, a hefty dollop of innuendo'

If you want to save the High St, stop passing planning applications and actively fight the appeals that allow the building of mega sheds for home deliveries.

Paul Weller (The Jam) + Noel Gallagher (Oasis) tearing through “Town Called Malice” At Brixton Academy, 2016.
The 1982 Jam classic that went straight to UK #1. The entire crowd knows every word. Absolute magic.

Double cricket, today - cracking weather @EmiratesOT , couple of quiet ones before meeting Roo in town.
@lancscricket & @Gloscricket as bad as PAK & ENG.

Morning walk and we come across that one dad who hasn’t realised that although school starts today - it’s an inset day 🤦🏼♂️ (and I really hope he’s plastered his SM with first day pics 🤣).

Why are people lauding Gay’s painting of Lords (L) - because his brother plays for England?
No scale, grass like a plaid school skirt, I mean fair play for trying, but… It’s like the pavilion’s been squeezed in.
It’s awful, like a bad GCSE entry when compared to Russell’s (R).

Sitting at Sipp in Chorlton with a wee coffee and croissant then @ewanmcvicar_ comes on.
Nice start to the morning.

Went to buy 2 tkt @MancAcademy today, £38.25ea became £43.60ea by the time I’d got to checkout, inc printing the ticket myself
Didn’t buy them (wanted to see @brookecombe w Jalen Ngonda) as £5.35 on top of the ticket price is a rip off 🤬
Hope Brooke plays Manchester soon herself
