Big game here for Bangladesh. If they can win this then they go up into the top 4. (SA net run rate is deep underwater).

Sure, they still have Australia and India to play, but the likes if SA and NZ then have to play catch up.

Options are:

1. He doesn't know what "concubines" means; or

2. He forgot to switch to his alt account.

The one at the front, with the outstretched tentacle, is that a new thing? I don't think I have seen any extended limbs before.

Is it referencing Alien Earth?

Yes, me too. And my ADHD will ensure that I forget a few along the way.

This is fun! I didn't guess correctly because I made some foolishly illogical choices!

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

Maybe Em Arlott? Untested at this level - would be the stuff of legends if she did. And she has to get into the starting XI first.

DWH? Maybe a couple of years ago. Now? I don’t see it.

Capsey? Certainly unstoppable on her day. But she’s batting out of position and I’m not convinced about her handling pressure.

Lamb? Dunkley? Both openers who take a bit of time to get settled.

Ecclestone? LOL

Watching the highlights of de Klerk’s innings, I begin wondering whether England have anyone who could go in at 8 and produce that sort of performance under that pressure.

There are people without inner monologues? There are people who can’t visualise things in their minds?

Are these people, or zombies?

When you have sporty dykes at 5, but you’re goth dancing at 8.

Actually…

No doubt for reasons of brevity, Buckers left the initial words “I have” as implied.

HTH 👍

Don’t look now, but if England beat Sri Lanka they will go to the top of the table!

Nadine De Klerk you absolute monster!

Having previously ground the Indian bowlers into the dust to not quite save a test match, she now pounds them to snatch an unlikely victory in their home World Cup!

Cat amongst the pigeons!

SA still ahead of India after 44 overs. But they have to go for it now in the last 6.

Looks like, at the end of the 32nd over, South Africa are actually ahead of where India were (in terms of runs and wickets).

Can any South African do what Ghosh did?

Just tuning in to the #INDvSA #CWC25 commentary and it sounds like the BBC are now getting this right.

Mickey Numbers @mickeynumberz.bsky.social · 4d

Look, I know it's easy to find things to complain about with sports commentators, and some if it can be unfair, but I'm pretty sure that the BBC are consistently mispronouncing Suné Luus's name.

Australia are good enough that they can afford to pick players for "vibes".

Ah, I did not know that.

Mickey Numbers @mickeynumberz.bsky.social · 2d

Is this the list of umpires at #CWC25?

Unless she is unavailable for some reason I find it astounding that Anna Harris wouldn’t be included.

!!!🚨!!!

Australia 76-7 and are we looking at a major upset!?

Mooney still there with King and Garth for company (I do consider Schutt to be the "tail"), so can't write them off yet. And I wouldn't expect Pakistan to chase more than about 175.

But still...
