Cricket Australia are heading for an estimated loss of more than AU$3 million from ticket revenue for days three and four after a two-day finish in Perth 👀
Two-day Test could cost Cricket Australia millions
CA had earmarked the Ashes to help balance the budget but if short Tests become the theme it may prove difficult

So that one achievement that Starmer can point to for all the grovelling to fuhrer Trump looks like it was utterly worthless.
🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 The U.S. has signalled to Zelensky that Ukraine must accept a U.S.-drafted framework to end the war with Russia that proposes Kyiv giving up territory and some weapons, - Reuters
The proposals included cutting the size of Ukraine's armed forces, among other things.

Liberal Democrat MPs have today tabled a motion in Parliament to remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board.
Robbie Gibb was appointed by Boris Johnson, he was an editorial adviser to GB News and a director of communications for Theresa May. He is not neutral or impartial.

twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.
I'm guessing the BBC 'scandal' has been big on X this week as this was the first I had heard of it...

If the sandwich don't split, you must acquit.
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

For those of us outside of the USA, one consequence of the great win by Mamdani could be a Trump pivot to be much more domestically focused between now and the mid terms. I dont know if this is good or bad.
