Either/or. Cricket on #satelliteTV putting lots of money into elite players's pockets + some top-down funding for grass-roots cricket OR #Cricket on #terrestrial and a whole new generation enthused to go out & play the game for themselves. Easy choice for a Village cricketer!

Interesting factoid: Electric Vehicles make up 80% of new vehicle sales in #Norway, cf 10% in the UK & less till in the US. It has taken a series of tax breaks and EV drivers & tax impositions on the combustion engine, but they achieved this in just 10 years. #environment

Important message from @antonioguterres, Secretary General of the @UN
The lack of participation of indigenous peoples in decision-making has often meant their specific needs are overlooked or ignored. Respect for their rights means ensuring full inclusion and empowerment. #UNPFII20 #WeAreIndigenous.
