I find it difficult to imagine that two tennis players with as much a disparity in name length have ever met.

Nobody in the Yorkshire XI has a forename beginning with a letter after M in the alphabet.

Taking a few minutes out and watching the @somersetccc.bsky.social v @hampshirecricket.bsky.social women's game; the latter set up for a big finish to their innings. Really nice to see how many kids are there, and how delighted they are with autographs and pictures with players.

If I'm reading this right, the Cubs have played 23 games against the NL West, compared to 19 against NOT the NL West. Given the strength of that division. Wow. www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB-...

Yorkshire's wickets largely being scattered around the four letter named players Hill, Coad, catches from Bean, Lyth...Bairstow the only outlier thus far. Dom Bess waits.

Ben Coad is 1-11 off 10.1. Binary work from the lad.

Step away from your window, Rogers Hornsby, and leave at your own chosen speed. Spring is here, baseball is back and the sun is rising over the horizon.

Isn't it tight at the top of the 🇷🇴 League?

Amidst the back and forth between the NFL and World Cup viewership discourse, I was reminded of this article highlighting that 300 million people watched the ODI World Cup Final back in 2023. www.espncricinfo.com/story/2023-o...

"Tired, naive England are stuck in slow motion" reads a banner headline in today's @thetimes.com. Ostensibly about the men's rugby team, it follows full pages on first the men's, and then the women's, cricket team. It could easily be about any or all of them.

Sri Lanka are 123/5 alarm. Doesn't work as well for Australians. They're 5/123.

I do love the Australian TV umpires saying "that's a fair delivery", as if they're actually reviewing it - 8/10.

India are 123 for 5.

West Indies have scored 24 as Larosa has figures of 2-4 off 2.4, and then score a run to take them to 25 and her to 2-5 off 2.5.

It's a confusing sport, cricket. Seven teams scored more runs than India in the group stage of the Women's U-19 World Cup, yet they topped their group. Samoa, who finished without a win, conceded fewer runs than India. Only one team scored fewer than Nigeria's total of 89, but they qualified 2nd.

Before the wicket of Sophie Ecclestone, Georgia Wareham was 1-23 (2.1). Been an up and down spell.

For all Australia's excellence with the bat, England's fielding has been below par today.

Just idling through a 1972 issue of @thecricketer.com at Cricket Archive and found this little snippet. Whatever happened to this lad with his peculiar grip?

2025/1 - Not sure how many books I'll get through this year, but I needed something light to start, and I note there's a new one in this series due soonish, so this felt a decent place to start.

Well, the Mantises left it close, but it was another good week for the Yadokai. Less good news from the NFL, but that's tomorrow's problem.

Do you want to feel, for a short while, as though it's 1996? Listen to 500 by Lush. Once you're doing that, two minutes in, becomes The Hardest Thing In The World by the Stone Roses for a quarter of a minute or so. It's one of my favourite parts of any song. I'd love more songs to be other songs.

Don't think I posted last week, but it's another good week for the Mantises and Yadukai - and both were successful last week, too. 😄

Found this nestled away on Sunday and felt it might be worth a watch. Taking it at face value, the world has a lot to thank Disney for - of not in the context, in the determination of Walt Disney to see things through. Bob Gurr was a standout, too.

We finished this series on Sunday; one of those that you're happy when the filtering process kicks in, as the remaining teams aren't as annoying and are definitely more appreciative of their experiences - and that side of things (the flight in the Alps) was spectacular.

Just a little bit about a small press release that barely mentioned Town, in a tale in which they'll barely feature, but yet still play quite a big rôle. frominsideright.wordpress.com/2024/11/30/a...
