When does the money we are giving Ukraine actually run out? This war won’t end, who keeps paying for it?
You, my friend are a grade one fool
This man will inherit £6m which he will have to pay just £0.6m Inheritance Tax on over 10 years. He thinks he should inherit £6m for free, and so should all his children and so on forever. Because he is special, he's a farmer.
Anyone taking 292 wickets at Test level is special, no debate
It took Kallis 51 Tests to reach 3145 runs. Took Warne 145 Tests to get there - 2.8 times the number of Tests. It took Warne 63 Tests to get 292 wkts. Took Kallis 166 Tests to there. - 2.6 times the number of Tests. Yet, Kallis's 292 wkts makes him as good as as spec. bowler?
Having played against Kallis he was without doubt the best all rounder of the generation, bowled 90mph also so that would suggest his bowling was far superior than Warne’s batting. Warne was a generational player, but so was Kallis
Nobody will ever say, "Shane Warne is the best cricket that's ever played. I don't care. 700 wickets, 37 fivefers, 3000 runs. Either one of those careers is outstanding" Warne the batter was a useful as Kallis the bowler Warne the bowler was vastly better than Kallis the bat
Michael, with all due respect this has nothing to do with The Hundred, it’s about a stake in the 20/20 world franchise which the Hundred will morph into. The Hundred is a dead duck
So it’s looks like 145m will go to the ECB for a 49% stake in the London spirit … Still think the 100 is a failure !!!!! That’s now 245m to the game for just 3 franchises … !!!!
For anyone (Aussies) complaining India are over the top in their approach to Sam Konstas, didn’t play against Australia in the 80’s and 90’s. Off the chart intimidation.
Isn’t a purpose built theatre, a theatre?
Extraordinary insight into the wealth of our private schools. Do pupils need Steinway pianos, purpose built theatres, groomed polo pitches? Paying VAT long overdue. It’s not just tax. Private school fees are rising in a facilities ‘arms race’ via @FT on.ft.com/41SQyFn
Money, money, money, Always money, Infantino’s world.
As I was a bowler, it’s impossible to be this far over the line without something odd going on. #💶💶
Yeah we know… #abuDhabiT10 #ADT10
So true
Every sport seems to be eating itself in the pursuit of more money these days. Believe me rugby fans, the franchise model is killing cricket. It is not one for your sport to follow Rugby’s leading players ‘committed’ to IPL-style breakaway league telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…
And who knew that playing lots and lots and lots of franchise 20/20 cricket around the world would make us good at 20/20 cricket! Anyone seeing a link here…
Once you compress incentives from the top-down and say, "It doesn't matter how much you earn I'm going to take the lion's share away," they say, "Alright, I'm no longer going to do the lion's part." Then they stop creating the extra wealth which would benefit both themselves and…
‘Players have always adapted’ there has only been 20/20 since 2003, it was 50 over or longer form cricket. It’s a gradual erosion, 20/20 is vastly different from 50 over cricket, not easy to adapt now
The fundementals of ODI isnt different to any other format. Players have always adapted across formats. The team in WI is not our first choice side. We cant be judged on results out there. But I know many are desparate to make this about the 100.
Who knew not playing any 50 over cricket, makes you not very good at 50 over cricket 🤔
This might be an early assessment but chucking in batters who have only played 4 50 over matches into internationals maybe a step too far?
