Anakin-Padme meme

Anakin: Australia losing to Bangladesh is a sign that the World Test structure needs massive change

Padme: Like the Big 3 playing more Tests against everyone else, right?

Padme: Right???

@kingcricket.co.uk with the best take on this, I would've quote tweeted but I had to include all three posts

Alex Bowden aka King Cricket on the latest England nightclub incident:

"England truly are the most punchable cricket team. This is, unfortunately, just a fact now. Nightclub patrons and employees throughout the world agree on this."

Some mostly intentional hilarity from @sirdoris.bsky.social ft. our good friend Moises and his beloved Spotify

Moises Henriques enjoying some Spotify with the text "CRICKET SICKOS ON SPOTIFY"

SirDoris' adaptation of the classic Moises Henriques video:

"What, um, what's going on here?"

"I just thought we'd have a little bit of a chat"

"Beautiful"

"What are you doing there?

"I was just listening to some Cricket Sickos on Spotify mate"

"Yeah?"

"Just listening to some people discuss cricket, and this episode has Adit and SirDoris discuss potential cricketing sitcom ideas"

"...Do you often listen to podcasts naked?"

"...yes"

Sorry to hear that mate. I don't know if cats do it for you, but here is our silliest cat Rubi.

Check out this prediction for the 2013 #Ashes series from the 2005 book "Cricket: Celebrating the Modern Game Around the World" by Philip Brown and Lawrence Booth. You have the series being played in Sharjah and Michael Clarke has to convince the TV audience thathe's made his ground!

Excerpt from "Cricket: Celebrating the Modern Game Around the World" by Philip Brown and Lawrence Booth, published 2005

It's March 2013, and tension is mounting during the third and deciding Ashes Test at Sharjah. Australia's middle-order rock Michael Clarke is speaking breath-lessly into the mic on his collar, trying to convince the vast TV audience in India that he just grounded his bat in time. But Ian Bell's argument - that his direct hit from cover point deserves recognition-is persua-sive, if not entirely based on logic. As the votes pour in, piling up in the top left corner of the TV screen, it is clear that Clarke is in trouble. In fact, he is out - by two whole percentage points! Bell's throw might not have beaten Clarke's lunge, but these days it's the fans who hold sway, not the humdrum reality of feet and inches. As Clarke shakes his head, Bell gives a smiling thumbs-up to the cameras, and has 30 seconds to thank the public while the next batsman is driven in a golf buggy to the crease by the MD of the series sponsors. England go on to win the game, thus claiming their first Ashes triumph for 27 years, and announce that they are looking forward to defending the urn in Singapore in three months' time.

Complete science-fiction? Or a sneak preview of the game's future, a place where technology and the people rule, and cricket's power base has shifted to the subcontinent? Cricket has always been so full of surprises that nothing can be discounted, not even England winning the Ashes. Who, after all, would have predicted the epoch-making impact of World Series Cricket? Or the way Hawkeye has changed our perspec-tive of lbw decisions? Or that cricket would turn to baseball for advice on how to throw? Or that a 20-over slog would be hailed as the game's saviour?

My partner and I went for the outrageously simple Halloween costume of Nora and Hae-sung from the movie Past Lives, but we made sure to bring a roll of aluminium foil to the party so we could recreate this iconic scene

The copy of Such Great Heights by Chris DeVille (@suchgreatheights.bsky.social) gifted by my wife arrived today and I couldn't be happier! Even when it calls out the pretentiousness of my teenage years with quantum precision. Highly recommend the read if indie rock ever meant anything to you.

Excerpt from Chris DeVille's indie rock history "Such Great Heights".

"For me, indie wasn't about DIY ethics, avant-garde disruption, or any kind of radical worldview. It was about albums I could spin incessantly and organise into lists in place of a personality, songs I could burn onto mix CDs for my friends and family to show off my good taste, and bands that doubled as a secret handshake with people cooler than me. As someone with average-or-worse charisma, looks, and athletic ability, who never had much to brag about besides my grades, I bought into the snobbery that often seemed inextricable from indie-rock fandom. 'Hipster' was an aspirational status for me, albeit one I always felt too sheepish and basic to fully achieve."

This is easily the greatest thing I've ever caught on film. Thank you very much Rubi for being so silly.

These are Australian wood ducks, but there was one autumn when living in Melbourne where my local park (2 km from the city centre) was home to a huge brood of wood ducklings! It was amazing being there to watch them all grow up!! (Apologies for the low quality of the photos)
