Hampshire v Essex, but only 'cos I'm a Hampshire fan.
She never had it to start with.
Agree.
Controversial opinion but cricket that is so far in favour of the batters is actually dull. #T20WC

Could be. I mean Succour means "run to help" so I'm sure the leaders in the country would interpret it that way, but I listen to how it sounds.
Living in a Succocracy.
Nicky Campbell is correct that certainty is the curse of our age, but the fact he thinks that "ordinary British people" phone into his show shows a staggering lack of awareness. Anyone listening can tell a lot of them are fruitcakes.

So another stat. Jacob Bethall got his first first class century in a Test Match (Ashes no less!), his first 50 over century in an international, and his first T20 century in an international. That's got to be a first!

A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair.

Well at least South Africa didn't choke it this time. Instead they just got beaten senseless.
Finn Allen's Indian Premier League price is going to be interesting after that.

Pakistan are losing the plot in the cricket here. Catches dropped, poor throws. Blimey.

The actions of today do call into doubt the rigour of the FIFA peace prize selection process.
Dubai doesn't seem so attractive for tax dodging now.

No doubt the nut jobs in the US will be saying "Board of peace? No, he said bored of peace" this morning
I could say "Senile old man rants for 2 hours" this morning and you know exactly what I'm talking about.
