This is a world on fire. Most of these disasters haven't been reported at all. The rest, though they still rage, have already been forgotten.

After the announcement of a £300m boost for cricket this week, England fans have asked if they can spend it on the DFS sale to buy bigger sofas to hide behind

Know enough to score at youth & club level? You’ll realise that you don’t when you join this excellent introduction to the art of cricket scoring. Also perfect as a pre-season refresher for those who are already regular ‘notchers’. Well worth the enrolment fee!

To reiterate, runs since Lockdown: Joe Denly: 317 Virat Kohli: 28 So Denly is 11.3 times better than #Kohli. The stats don’t lie....#ipl2020

If you're going to try to spring your wife from jail by hijacking a helicopter do not - and I cannot stress this bit enough - do not book the chopper with your own name then spend the flight being airsick. (Via ⁦@DanielBoffey⁩ for ⁦@guardian⁩) theguardian.com/world/2020/s…

Thanks for all the overwhelming support shown on our previous tweet regarding our score box. We have now set up a go fund me page where we hope to raise much needed funds to rebuild our score box. Any help no matter how little would be greatly appreciated. gofundme.com/f/new-cricket-s…

I’m happy to pay my taxes so that I can live in a civilised country. A free country. A country where people feel safe. A haven from the madness and cruelty in the world. The country my grandparents fought for. Not a country for fascists.

I had the pleasure of playing sunday cricket with Alex & his son in the 80s. Despite a legacy of football injuries he was a canny & competive player, so supportive of us younger lads. Alex Dawson: Ex-Man Utd, Preston, Bury, Brighton forward dies aged 80 - bbc.co.uk/sport/football/534…
Rahkeem Cornwall would not look of place in our team - he'd definitely get a game cos our bench isn't strong
