    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Been destroying crop stores on farms as well - those they couldn't load onto rail and send back to Russia. Food supplies and food inflation becoming a weapon. Here dairy products up over 60%, meat products well over 50%. Supermarkets have been rationing some products for weeks now.

    Looks tough batting conditions this morning. This partnership crucial to get close because there's not much batting after these two.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    That last point is one area of very serious concern. When this conflict eventually ends peacekeeping forces are going to be needed (much like Bosnia) to prevent Ukrainians taking "revenge" on pro-Russian civilians.

    Chelsea

    That amount of money got a feeling Chelsea fans won't like the fineprint once the initial transfer splurge has passed - much like Utd and Burnley fans for example

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    The obvious threat seems to be he is trying to create new pockets of Russian population - either by removing Ukrainians from the areas or fast tracking Russian citizenship for Ukrainians with any sort of Russian ancestry. He's creating new Donbass situations for the future and extending current...

    F1 2022

    Cars follow that close and can't overtake!! Pitiful. Again only interesting things that happen in this race are drivers misfortunes, team mistakes etc. And still two best teams way ahead of the pack - rule changes not made enough of an impact. Ever get a race without safety cars and they'll...

    So if it starts raining during a race they're going to stop and wait for it to pass. And no-one wants the disgrace that was Belgium last year.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    A couple of issues are Ukrainian railways different gauge to European so transport slow already. sheer volume of Ukrainian agricultural exports to other parts of the world would make rail to other ports a difficult option.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    My contacts there say they had taken some but rail transport difficult. Some large stores burnt down. But bulk of production in areas not under Russian control. Problem is storing grain as stores need to be emptied to allow for what harvest there will be coming in at end of June and July...

    Problem is ECB and counties have devalued it so much no-one wants to watch it. 50 over competition going the same way.

    It's a self perpetuating argument. Cricket suffering because it is on pay TV yet it's pay TV money that has stopped the game collapsing.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It's part of plan along with this new citizenship rule to create Russian population majorities in these areas.Then they are creating new Lubansk & Donbas situations. Even if Ukraine retakes these areas it's another festering timebomb for the future.

    If the Hundred was a good idea other countries would be copying it by now. There are three "world" championships - Test, 50 over and T20. England do well in those and crowds increase, income goes up. Hundred Tv money never going to be big as the "money" options aren't going to pay big if they...

    How can anyone think it's a sane situation when the best option is to suggest increasing armed security in schools? Does he park a tank outside every school in America?

    America

    Quick fix for those that want to blame it on mental illness but between 20-25% of American adults suffer from some form of mental illness. That's around 55 million people with a mental illness who could own guns.
