This is a genuinely wonderful book - not just for cricket fans either - poetic insights into the nature of hero-worship, the dynamics of friendship, and what it means to play (and enjoy playing) team sports.
And beautifully edited.
Highly recommend!

This nature recovery craic isn’t that hard once you start... quite modest changes have brilliant effects
And a lot of it is just about sensible landscape/farm design

I want to vomit every time I hear someone from our goverment saying we are going to be world leaders in AI.
What a crock of dangerous BS.
What about being world leaders in looking after our landscapes and nature, looking after our people, looking after our health and our diet?

Agree very funny from @arusbridger - there will be a lot of pricking neo-pomposity required in next 4 years HT @JackMartin__
Mark Z and Joe Rogan talked for nearly 3 hours about masculinity and shooting pigs. There are shorter Wagner operas. But there is much to digest. My column app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/s…

Ofwat today unveiled the biggest water price rises since privatisation, when bills rose to fix an underfunded system and meet new enviro standards. So why do we face another crash price-rise three decades later? In this @Telegraph piece, I explain why.

Seriously good magazine with the added benefit of not taking itself seriously - best value subscription out there - you will not regret.
