Just took 93yr mum to vote, she’s registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, “Which box for Jimmy Anderson to play Test cricket till he's 50?” A cheer went up from waiting voters.
Which is the easiest dropped catch ever?
In 1993, Gatting dropped possibly the simplest catch in the history of Test cricket at silly point – one so straightforward the umpire raised his finger before the ball got to Gatting. The horror on his face as he searched desperately for the ball sums up the tour for him in India.
Erik ten Hag gets relentlessly questioned. Tactics, recruitment etc. He's dealing with injuries/owners. His "keep believing" words at h-t, obvious passion for #MUFC, his decision to start Garnacho right, and credit in bank from last season, show why he deserves backing. #MUNAVL
My day job is cardiac electrophysiology which rarely intersects with FPL, but today Tom Lockyer likely had a cardiac arrest. With immediate CPR and defibrillation an otherwise fatal condition is survivable. Please share and consider taking a CPR class, you could save a life!
Some amazing audience figures for Test Match Special coverage over the last 12 months on BBC Sounds.
Currently the top performing 24 programmes are all Test Cricket!
Huge thanks for all your support.

A little story for a wet Friday night. Near my house I found a wallet in the road. When opening it I found a bank card, some cash, a library and a youth club card. And also a front door key. The person who dropped it is 14 and could be locked out so I set out to find him….1/6
Anne Frank and her family were betrayed by a neighbour 79 years ago. In 1987 I covered the trial of the Butcher of Lyon, Klaus Barbie. Hearing that a man he’d arrested still lived near Lyon, I went to interview him. ‘How did Barbie know about you?’ I asked. ‘My neighbour betrayed me.’ ‘What happened to him?’ ‘He’s still my neighbour.’ And indeed I could see that the neighbour was actually in his garden, listening to us. He ran indoors when we started filming him. Imagine living 40 years next to the man who’d sent you to a concentration camp.
Jay Monahan's rationale for Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods only learning of the LIV deal this morning is basically that it's "only" a framework agreement. Not sure that should or can wash. Those two guys consistently went above and beyond to protect the PGA Tour.
Tomorrow, Matt Dunn and a team of 30 runners will head from @homeofcricket to The Kia Oval.
Hear from Matt about what they're doing and why they're also trying to raise awareness of Dravet Syndrome as well funds to support @dravetuk 💜
