My *favourite* current graph. The heatwave threshold for central England is 27c. This chart shows the number of days each decade since the 50s that have exceeded that, together with the number of years with no "hot" days.

One of nine possible outcomes puts Spurs down. Here is how the British public sees the odds.
Saw this headline and thought, yet another of the Old Guard has it in for Robinson. Then you read this "I suppose the confusing thing for me is, if he's good enough to open the bowling on 4 June against New Zealand at Lord's, which he is – he's a brilliant bowler – why was he not at the Ashes?
