This is all kinds of badass. Go girl!

I feel like no one really argues against Test cricket if they are a fan of the game overall. While all formats have the potential for late match heroics/meltdowns/etc; Test has that long form, almost poetic feel to it that the other formats don’t.

Despite being focused on T20 stuff, I am loving how much Test cricket we have going on this summer. I knew being a teacher would pay off one day.

Duckett having a grand day at the office. England look well on track here at the moment. Need 118 runs and have 8 wickets to work with.

Um. India’s bottom order is really not batting well in this Test. Last six only added 49 runs. That’s wild. England with a target of 371 seems entirely reachable right now.

Once again I am seeking veteran Test fan insight. Is 471 a good first innings total? That seems a big total to chase for England.

Pre-game #MINYvSEA Seattle wins the toss and opts to bat first.

Very excited for tonight's #MLC matchup. We have #MINewYork (0-2-0, -0.423, 4th) versus the #SeattleOrcas (0-2-0, -3.89, 6th). Each team is looking for their first win of the 2025 season. The numbers are heavily in favor of MINY but anything is possible in #T20Cricket. Who is everyone picking ?

It’s happening people. The Bree Illing Era is beginning. Remain calm. I know we are all super excited but let’s just take some easy breathes.

Wow. Really looks like South Africa are in the driver’s seat to win the #WTC. What a change of fortunes a day and a half makes.

Yes, we have #cricket in #America . Major League Cricket is underway. San Francisco Unicorns put up 269 and are destroying Washington Freedom in the chase. 🏏🏏🏏

What a fantastic opening match for the 2025 #MLC season.

Surely both the Unicorn’s total and Allen’s total are records in the #MLC.

The salary cap in Major League Cricket is tipped to increase as anticipation rises over its next domestic media rights deal. Increased revenue would not only lure more big names, but also help MLC turn a profit www.forbes.com/sites/trista...

This was such a phenomenal innings to have watched. In my short time watching cricket I do not think I have seen a better performance with the bat in the men’s game.

My assessment of Day 1 of the #WTCFinal is that as poor as Australia’s innings were, South Africa’s has been much worse.

This pisses me off. I have no love for the government of Afghanistan but I am upset about not getting to see more Rashid Khan. Another knock on effect of the abysmal administration currently “running” the US.

67-4 at lunch is a fantastic score for South Africa to keep Australia limited to right?

Really enjoying the #WTCFinal so far. South Africa and Rabada have really done a solid job on controlling runs. I was lucky enough to get to see both wickets. Excellent bowling and slip work.

Question for the listeners. I’m looking at finally getting around to having guests on the podcast. What are some good general questions you would love to have people asked? Don’t worry @aditrs.bsky.social I won’t steal your closing pair. Even though they are fantastic.
