There is something so deeply sinister about this completely manufactured fantasy of kids being given transition surgeries at school at a time when kids are quite literally being murdered at school.

This 'announcing' your retirement thing is always bit daft but HUGE FAN of #Moeen. Tremendous and important contribution to #cricket in #Eng / #Wales, & undeniably a good man - making him something of a symbol for much-needed racial understanding. Thankyou #MoeenAli.

With regret - but inevitably - we have had to call off the proposed Ted Joyce Memorial/Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi Alumni Pembrokeshire Seniors Cricket fixture Llanrhian CC today. But... we hope to go again next week!! #cricket #weather #upful (despite everything) 😎💪🏏

I followed, early doors. Went to KSL finals, travelled a bit. Became less possible but always wished them well. Hope the future is good.

I liked the look of Josh Hull. Decent control, good pace. Few tweaks, one of which is to use his height better in delivery like Jofra does…

That thing where the day yawns ahead, coz #cricket (Llanrhian CC Pembrokeshire Seniors Cricket) cancelled: #Pembrokeshire weather!🤬 But then... a moment’s reflection. Of COURSE! A rare opportunity to chill to Cerys Matthews. This is proper, civilised #upfulness. BBC Radio 6 Music

On another, slightly different note, Paul Ackford was so tone deaf when he sang the anthem that we asked him to mime it so that it didn't make us laugh.

No #cricket so thumb-twiddling. Then brief mission to Solva. Then the inevitable - a slow pint @marinerswales. But wait: can there really be a buncha kids dressed up as medieval warriors or did somebody spike me? #Pembrokeshire #drama / #madness / #something. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🎪 💪🏻

No early sign of a bouncer barrage to welcome #Stone. Instead, bizarre, prolonged legside deliveries to try and draw a glance. Agree wiv da commentary. Why not bowl full at off-stick? Ball swinging wildly; late order batters. Classic over-thinking, surely? (Even if a wicket

Worth watching for the auto-subtitles thingy. Orla Prendergast has been ‘all-in apprentice’ & ‘all a ghost’, so far… 🏏 🎥 #Ireland #Eng #coverage 😎
