The TNT coverage is absolutely woeful. Comms slightly ahead of the action, random unexplained graphics and not enough variety in the commentators. #Ashes

Golden Goal: Jude Bellingham for England v Slovakia (2024)
The last time I wrote a @sport.theguardian.com Golden Goal feature it was about a goal I celebrated wildly aged 11. This is about one I celebrated even more wildly at nearly 31. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The final instalment of @sport.theguardian.com 100 greatest men’s Ashes cricketers of all time is live and No 1 is, quite simply, the greatest Aussie of all time who didn’t appear in Neighbours or once say “That’s not a knife, THAT’s a knife”. RIP Warney.
