Watched: The Test S2E1, Own Your Own Space 📺

I watched the documentary series The Test when it was released in 2020. I didn’t realise until today that there have been two subsequent series made, which were released in 2023 and 2024 (although each has fewer episodes than the first). Started watching Series 2 this afternoon. A good warm-up for the upcoming 2025/26 Ashes matches 🙂🏏

Watched: The Narrow Road to the Deep North 📺

Superb book by Richard Flanagan, impressive adaptation for television.

Watched: Zero Dark Thirty, 2012 - ★★★★½ 🎥

That was a fantastic match. India score 341-5 from 48.3 overs, a record run chase in women’s ODI cricket.
