I have over 20,000 songs on my iPhone. I’ve created an auto playlist of only those tracks I’ve only played the once. My daily commutes are now random songs I’ve mostly forgotten about. These are some of the highlights (in chronological order).

You’d have to think that with some decent preparation, picking players based on skill not vibes, and playing normal cricket, the Poms probably would have won, and I LOVE that they didn’t #Ashes

Bad decision from the third umpire IMO, you could hear the click in real time and RTS showed a spike which couldn't have been anything else. But Brydon Carse? you've got a pretty big mouth for someone who's done two-third of sweet FA as a Test cricketer. Get back and bowl and shutup mate. #ashes

Sigh, here we go. Frydenberg would only be happy if either he or Netanyahu were appointed as the commissioner.
Frydenberg used the massacre to stoke his own political fortunes. Utterly contemptible.
