Jimmy Anderson with blonde highlights - 😮 - takes a wicket! 🏏

Second Test between India 🇮🇳 and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, day one. Missed the 4am start but did get up at 5am, just missing the first wicket, Rohit Sharma dismissed by Shoaib Bashir on debut. Hope this is going to be as interesting as the first Test 🏏

This is the first time I’ve encountered a YouTube My Mix. I don’t usually use or like the playlists apps such as Apple Music or Spotify generate but this one is impressive and ticks a lot of boxes 🎵🙂

A lot to like about that First Test between India and England, enjoyed it immensely. Twists and turns, outstanding individual performances from Pope and Hartley and an unexpected victory for England in the final over of the fourth day 🏏

Now there should be some play on Day four of the Test 🏏

At least there was something worth waking up ridiculously early for. A brilliant century for Ollie Pope on Day three of the India v England First Test in Hyderabad 👏🏏

Linkblog 🔗: Colin Ward: Everyday Anarchy - a Community crowdfunding project in Norwich by Patrick Bernard

An audio documentary to celebrate the life and work of the British anarchist Colin Ward and to mark the centenary of his birth in 2024.

This is a unique opportunity to tell the story of a rich and overlooked tradition in British thought – and a radical alternative to mainstream politics – which found its greatest advocate in the figure of Colin Ward.

Time for a small Lagavulin. Just realised it’s Burns Night 🥃
