(A 4 ft goblin-like creature in cricket whites approaches) If you don't check the score, a wicket may fall If you watch it too closely, you'll be feeling morosely! (he then scuttles away)

Chelsea losing 5/5 penalty shootouts against Liverpool is a fantastic bit. How many teams have even had that many shootouts against each other ffs

Feels like a decision less to do with the pitch and more with trying to ensure they’re not out of the match by the end of day 1 (which they might be at any rate, the way things are going)

I have the brain of a great drummer if I do say so myself but, crucially, neither the wrists or the feet

By a mile the greatest sporting story of the week (that no one actually watched) theguardian.com/sport/2026/o…

T20 franchise cricket is trash sport and killing the red-ball game is cultural vandalism. What would George Orwell have made of this?

The 'wheeeyyy' from the back of the commentary box when Smith played that shot said it all. Too many of these batters just can't be arsed when the situation calls for them to dig in

I have no-one to talk cricket with once it passes about 9 pm so here we are

One of the worst Australian batting performances I've seen. Some had shoddy technique, others were dumb as shit, awful all-round

Those long silences in between tracks on 'Room on Fire' are such a stupid gimmick. Hampers your immersion in the record

Since the 1980s, Australian politics has lagged about a decade behind developments in the UK, so given declining living standards / increasing hostility, a life-threatening attack on an MP was probably on the cards

City's weirdo CEO fits well with the Lionel Hutz business card format Soriano. Sorry? Ah, no!

Almost the greatest heist since Canterbury ‘95, but tonight was one miracle too many for the Knights. Fair fucks to them, & Roosters worthy premiers

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
