Most importantly, that last wicket partnership means I might even be able to sneak off to bed if Australia take a few early wickets. #CWC25 🏏

14 an over from here gets them there. Not completely ruling it out. #CWC25 🏏

Beth Mooney, the bane of this Pakistan side. “Ah you think humidity is your ally? You merely adopted the humidity. I was born in it, moulded by it.” #CWC25 🏏

(This, BTW, is approximately nine thousand times more thrilling than the match in which Australia and India scored 800 runs between them.)

Beth Mooney explaining the situation to Garth: Don’t hit it in the fucken air. Don’t let a straight one through. Don’t advance down the pitch and miss it. Fucken simple, Kim. #CWC25 🏏

Pakistan may have taken four Australian wickets but they need to take at least fifteen more before they reach the tail. #TheCricket

What are the odds?

Might turn out that all three people named on the front cover of the new book play the same number of #Ashes Tests this summer.

Pre-order to ensure this doesn’t happen. (How would this work? Don’t worry about the details. Just pre-order and leave it with me.)
