Spending a few days in a city with a t20 side that has never played in that city.

@paulframe85.bsky.social Checked in with the fellas last night. The run support was ... what it is.

Happy Yorkshire Day to all who celebrate. May your caps be flat, your Tims be Taylor and your batting, above all else, be stoic.

Imagine if the biggest story in football right now wasn't the whole situation with UEFA and FIFA but instead was someone diving to win a penalty in a Sunday League game in Skegness.

Studio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now

Honestly, this whole Yet Another New Leader and What the Hell, This One's Northern thing is a fun new experience for me, someone who did not experience English cricket in the '90s.

I mean, for being obviously AI-generated, that halftime show wasn’t - okay hang on I’m reading some new info here

I mean, they're fine if you're into this sort of thing.

Chris Towers is Overreacting To Small Sample Sizes@cptowers.bsky.social · 2w ago

okay, world cup question: are either of these teams good?

Just to be clear, I have never heard a single American demand, suggest or discuss the Star-Spangled Banner being sung before a sporting event the US is not playing in.

Wrestling-style surprise entrance for the salmon run. Bah gawd, that's Jimothy's music!

Increasingly convinced the only way to turn around the Mariners season is to lure Jimothy to a game

No Willow TV, I wasn't listening to the commentators, let's see that ad for McDonald's $3 diarrhea burrito for the 27th time this hour.

Hear me out: what if the town's reasonably successful weed dispensary was taken over by the guy whose meth lab keeps exploding?

@cricketerik.bsky.social what if the MLS commissioner ends up being a former USA Cricket chairman? I'll hang up and listen

This is starting to feel like it's going to drown out Jack Haynes' unbeaten 75 against Surrey.

Only ICC dudes could watch Cabo Verde nearly knock off Argentina and think, dear god, if we're not careful that could happen to us too.

Tristan Lavalette@trislavalette.bsky.social · 3w ago

There are discussions to cut back the 2027 ODI World Cup to 12 teams. The ICC announced in 2021 that the 2027 event would have 14 teams. There were discussions at the time of a 16-team World Cup after the 2019 and 2023 editions only had 10. www.cricketfj.com/p/reducing-t...

This will never not make me smile.

Was just on the Facebook page of a sports bar in the Miami suburbs. On a post about their "international soccer party" (you can't say World Cup for legal reasons), some English guy was the lone commenter. He wanted everyone to know that it's "FOOTBALL ... because you kick the BALL with your FOOT"

It can't be denied that England and Argentina have beef

William Lane@williamjtlane.bsky.social · 4w ago

Someone will find a way to tie this back to UK-US food discourse, I just know they will.

Listen though guys, here's the important part.Eveeythimg Trump tries to involve himself with, turns to shit. We've got a year to convince him there's nothing his enemies hate more than Australian cricket.

Well that's a relief. Now I just need Norway to do the business and I can get back to cricket entirely.

Things were going just great for the USMNT until Mamdani made that 4th of July speech.

Imagine if Mitch McConnell was alive to see this

If there had been a soccer exhibit at the Great American State Fair this is what it would have looked like

dammit Belgium quit exploiting this team’s many flaws

Oh God I just thought about all the horrific takes fucking Della Penna is probably having over on the bad site.

The one good thing this infernal football tournament has done for me is letting me ignore USACA III: The USACAning

Keith Brake@brakedown.bsky.social · last mo.

I hate to be that guy, but American cricket is a wreck. Local leagues are totally disconnected from the national body and each other. The Indian diaspora has been asked to shoulder all of the game's future here but it's 1.5% of the population. This is our best and maybe last chance for change.

I am enjoying all non-Americans insisting that if this happened to them, they would quietly but firmly insist that the footballer in question commit seppuku on the steps of the nation's grandest cathedral.

you know who else made a call to a higher power to reverse a penalty for us

(/looking at CONCACAF match program) okay so now is the second red card and that’s everyone’s cue to surround the referee. Then comes the goal scored with two balls on the field, then the third and fourth VAR breaks and the third penalty
