Looking forward to this. Are you going to be further north any time soon?

Possibly the easiest "purple first" yet

An ideal day for a wander in @lydiajane13.bsky.social country

Now that I'm retired and have a few extra pennies, I'm making sure to shop locally whenever I can.

There seems to be plenty to do and see

Just booked flights for a holiday in Malta. I'm embarrassed to admit that I had no real idea where Malta is. I think I was confusing it with Cyprus. I'm 59

@chrisgoddardmap.bsky.social currently reading your Yorkshire Coast book, bought today in Saltburn. Looking forward to walking as many of the routes as possible

Thanks for all these, Dan. You've made our regular 4-yearly walloping almost bearable

My midweek team has added a new fixture for this season, against a Merv Hughes Masters XI. I am suitably ready

Controversial. A little bit of politics.

BT Sport showing the replay of Smith run out and thinking it was Stokes being the 2nd one of the over

In a high class field, that was the most stupid shot of the series

It's a maiden century not a debut one

These wickets make a finish today more likely

The number of times Root gets hit in the nads, I'm surprised he doesn't wear one permanently

Brydon Carse has the chance to do the funniest thing. If he takes 3 more wickets, by my calculations he'll have 25 in the series, out of 74 possible.

In the last 90 years or so, only John Snow in 6 tests has done better. It'll be one of England's all-time great overseas Ashes series

There is some good in the world after all

I feel sorry for Matthew Potts whose selection and performance has all the hallmarks of a One Cap wonder, despite having played multiple times before

Sack the fielding coach

Trying to compare with Swann to Rogers in terms of awfulness and this wins as it is exactly what Australia planned
January 5, 2026 at 1:47 PM
It's all 4D chess. England are making Australia believe they have a weakness against 65mph half trackers so that one day, one day, they will pummel their attack for 600 runs in a day

Rain hampering England's chances of squaring the Red Ball Ashes

Worried that Carse is going to be shifted from his rightful number 3 slot for someone with fewer first class centuries
