this WI T20 team feels like the culmination of Caribbean cricket over the last 20 years and legitimately one of the most fearsome limited-overs teams ever to have been

Following this on my phone. Wonderful win and should be a great final.
Doing this without Pollard or Narine is remarkable.

Saw the last few overs in the Enterprise in Chalk Farm, but now they've put on the absolutely vital middle of the table clash between Man Utd and Everton, to placate the legion of gormless twats traipsing in staring uncomprehendingly at a TV screen not showing Premier League football. Heading off in the direction of Primrose Hill to find a better class of boozer.

So glad I schlepped all over London only to end up following the match via text reports on the BBC website, thank you, God.

sorry Tom, can't believe that up here in the outer darkness we've got pubs that can manage to broadcast more than one sporting event at the same time but Londoners can't countenance it

Kraigg Brathwaite becoming the first opening test batsman to not lose his wicket in either innings is an extraordinary statistic.

Current state of the board of governors won't though
Anyway, Hameed! Looking absolutely the part. His career path unfolds like a far more elegant Cook now

Oh, SV, you're about - what do you do with a problem like Dave Cameron?
― imago, Saturday, 12 November 2016 11:16 (nine years ago)
a tenner on Hameed getting 10k runs for England in Tests seems a reasonable punt

Hat trick for Moeen Ali! First England spinner to take a hat-trick since 1938-39, first ever Test hat-trick at the Oval.

Nice day to be at the Oval today - wasn't sure it would be worth it, definitely was in the end.
