Need to capitalise on the new ball. Big spell for Woakes - only picked because of his record at Lords

For all the talk about Crawley & Pope Stokes is averaging under 25 since the Ashes 2 years ago.

It's got too far past that point with the sheer number of claimants. Aren't enough qualified mental health professionals, GPs surgeries couldn't handle the number of appointments to keep checking on people, DWP doesn't have enough investigative staff (stats say they conducted 23000...

It's always felt inevitable that he was going to get pushed out. The drip-drip effect of Max constantly telling the world (over the radio) the car was hopeless/undriveable etc couldn't have helped. Whether that was calculated or not we'll probably find out further down the line.

Not a surprise. This Govt is going to have public sector pay fights for the duration of its tenure.

No secret it's been fairly toxic at the top of Red Bull since Mateschitz snr died. They've lost of a top people to the likes of McLaren and Aston Martin. Similar to Mercedes (who lost a lot of good people a few years ago) it can be costly. Does seem to be a combination of internal power...

UBS estimates that 3m figure will fall by 500K by 2028.(that's the 3 million stat that most people use). Also the figure is for $ millionaires so that's about 730k GBP - a fairly significant difference. Henley refers to liquid millionaires rather than paper millionaires (the 3m).

Cynic in me is that this is a deliberate "divide and rule" strategy. If they're fighting each other then they haven't got time to fight Israel - much the same as happened for a long time in Lebanon.

Sometimes it seems like certain players are using "Bazball" as an out for playing stupidly. "It's what the coach & captain want". Should still be an obvious distinction with "Bazball" that good balls still need treating properly but maximize on the mediocre stuff.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gk79xlzwjo Looks like Gaza going the same way as Iraq and Libya. Even with a ceasefire / peace treaty this disaster isn't ending any time soon. As soon as Israel pulls out it seems likely there could be a civil war of some description.

You could hear Hulk commenting that it had a domino effect all the way down the line of cars. Could have been quite easy for Max to go straight into the back of him and end both their races.

Oscar needs to get over it. It was a penalty normally but in those track/weather conditions it was really poor decision-making.

Not convinced Stokes & Carse well fully fit for the duration of this match either. Looks like Lords will be hot & dry as well. Normally a good ground for Woakes but he's often looked at average so far without any weather/pitch help

Need to look at the record since beginning of last year. 11 wins 9 losses. But 6 of those wins are at home to W Indies, Sri Lanka & Zimbabwe. About 6 of those losses were pretty much thrashings. We can't bowl good teams out cheaply and have often relied on individual batsmen. Bazball can look...

It's still a magnificent race track. Good drive from Norris. Thrilled for Hulk - particularly from where he started on the grid.

Could be a belter this afternoon. 6 cars in contention, maybe some wet weather and it's Silverstone.

Refering more to the rights extension (lock-in to 2028/29) rather the initial launch.

If they throw Archer back in next Test and he'd have bowled less than 20 overs of red ball this year. ECB got themselves in a mess and it's pounds over performance through financial necessity. Sky hasn't helped as they've done the same by "forcing" ECB to pursue the Hundred.

So Musk is going to throw his toys out of the pram. He throws 275 million at selected campaigns the 2026 election (like he did the 2024) and he could do enough damage to switch both houses.
