Some performance today from Luca. He’s a class act when he’s at his best. Bannan can’t wipe his boot
Tons of heart and desire in the midfield today 💪

Absolutely scandalous the way Lyth was treated by England. The second best English opener of his generation after Cook, but didn’t get 10 games despite making a hundred against Southee and Boult.
👀 "I made a bit of a rogue, left field comment in the changing room." 🏏 "I'm not saying he would've scored 700 runs, but he wouldn't have let England down." Kyle Abbott REVEALS who he thinks has been one of the hardest English openers to bowl to & it's a surprise 🤝

Barnsley have the youngest football team in England. That could be exciting. Here it is proof of a club well on its way to breaking point and the lowest ebb in 50 years. The latest Journeyman assignment ⬇️ inews.co.uk/sport/football/b…

Not sure how George Hill hasn’t got a call up for the ODI squad.
England Lions head to St Kitts & Nevis in November to face West Indies A 🌴 Dan Lawrence and Thomas Rew will captain the 50-over squad and T20 squad respectively. See the squads and hear from head coach Jonathan Trott ➡️ ms.spr.ly/6010at5ys

Another good trip this one, however Ukraine in Poland was the better of the double header (football aside)
Foden, Bellingham and Kane all on target 🎯 #OnThisDay in 2023: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 1-3 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

“By denying Joe Root’s team a Test here next summer, the ECB has actively reduced England’s chances of regaining the Ashes" “Once again, English cricket’s suits are not doing what is right for the men in boots” @timwig criticises the decision ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026…

Done half of this league with a few more to come later in the year 🍺⚽️🇳🇱
🇳🇱 The Netherlands arguably has the most balanced geographic distribution of clubs of any top-flight UEFA league, with the 18 Eredivisie teams spread fairly equally across the country. In fact, only islanders or residents of the extreme south-west are more than a 60-minute drive from the nearest Eredivisie club, making it one of the most accessible major leagues for match-going fans.
