    New TV contract so ECB committed despite knock-on effects on other forms. If it was a good idea someone else would have copied it by now.

    Been watching Test cricket a long time never seen anything like this in England. 4th innings are supposed nervy chases of 200 not comfortable chases of huge scores.

    America

    We will see come midterms. Democratic party never had a larger progressive faction (in modern times). Democrats now battling themselves as moderates take on progressives in the primaries for key midterm elections. Progressives convinced their left wing brand is what the people want - election...

    America

    A country where the 2 extremes make the most noise and noise seems to equal influence. If there was ever a time for a 3rd centrist party it's now. Silent majority getting swamped and ignored.

    America

    Senate already blocked Biden's attempt to protect abortion rights under federal law. Any big moves on guns will turned over by this Supreme Court. They are taking a literal interpretation of the constitution.

    America

    US can't claim any moral supremacy over authoritarian states which also have politically motivated supreme courts. False pride in a system of checks and balances that has been eroded through politicisation of its judiciary. Makes their scorn/condemnation of other religious states seem facile...

    Slowly strangling cricket. They say 20/20 is too long then put on 2 Hundred games as a double header!!!! 20/20 is suffering because they can't big name players due to the world cricket calender. So they put up the Hundred which suffers the same fate. Hundred also basically killed the 50 over...

    Memory is getting fuzzy. But when CCC "bailed out" ACL(2003??) they took 50% of the shares? The value of that bail out? We didn't get something for nothing. Look at the grief that caused further down the line

    it's absolute garbage. The owners of professional sports teams might believe they don't have to operate in the fiscal world but they do. This isn't old Wild west of sports team ownership when rich local people ran them on a whim and as a personal toy. Once you get into debt you are in the...

    Wondering if the sources of new finance for Wasps bond have figured it's going to cost around 13 million to repair/renovate the Arena to bring it up to a realistic value that actually is enough to serve as a guarantee for the value of the bond.
