I'm getting Morrisville 2022 MiLC vibes from tomorrow's Sharjah-Abu Dhabi match in ILT20. Squad lists feature Unmukt, Saurabh, Shadley, Shubham and Harmeet (granted the last two are presently occupied in Nepal, I think). Wild, eh, @brianbarrish.bsky.social?

I rise at 5:30am to watch Chievo-Varesina (Serie D) and Hamburg-Stuttgart (1.BL) kicking off at 6:30... My top-of-the-table Chievo boys are *dominated* in possession by a team with 1 win so far, still somehow go up 1-0 in 70', then give up 2 in 5 min, then hit crossbar on last kick, lose 2-1. 1/n

Was listening to the radio call for the first few innings (cooking, not looking at the screen), but got back to the TV in time to hear Kevin Brown's first Seinfeld reference with Houston pitcher Jason Alexander... keep 'em coming, KB!

(Also, why couldn't we have started Kremer tonight?!)

Reading about the two-way feedback between African music and that of the Americas and was blown away to encounter what happens when, for instance, mbira technique meets acoustic guitar. Kind of obsessed with Jean Bosco Mwenda at the moment...

Drinking coffee, reading "Black Music of Two Worlds" about how African musics influenced & melded with European and Amerindian in the "New World" to create what we have now... India-England cricket on TV in background.

In my best Ralph Wiggum voice, I exclaim "I'm having colonialism for breakfast!"

Dave Johnson is going through it right now on the @orioles.com game... How many more missed calls before he takes off the headset and goes down to scream at Tony Randazzo in person?

Italian qualification for Men’s world cups since 2015:
Football/Calcio: 0
Cricket: 1

Italy is a cricket nation now

Reminiscing on cool shit of years past... back in 2021, I contributed acoustic guitar to this awesome track by
@accidentsatsundown.bsky.social!

Well, so much for my weird dream of a 2-8 team making the MLC playoffs...

A matchup made in California Minor League Cricket! Unicorn/East Bay Blazer Sanjay Krishnamurthi facing off with Orca/LA Lashing Ayan Desai.

Now put Jariwala in an XI or we riot...

Trent Boult miiiiiight be a cartoon character. If the timestamp doesn't work, go to 10:54, folks... you'll be glad you did. 🤣

Hi folks! This is where I'll be doing most of my text-based interactions on social media from here out. Likely to be a little heavy on the DVC Athletics and cricket, light on the day-to-day. Follow my Instagram (@joehickey77) for the more personal stuff.
