Great to catch up with @AdelCricket ‘s first ‘overseas’, Paul Bullen, on his UK visit from Melbourne, & a great turnout from the 1986 1st XI.

@BBCSport Haven’t seen anyone questioning the impact of the shoes (the ones that aren’t available to the public???). Isn’t this potentially the athletics equivalent of the swimsuits that had to be banned when every world record was smashed? Having said that, never thought I’d see a sub-2.

[David Standring @David_Standring]

Hey @SkySportsGolf … any chance of you showing some actual golf??? #masters @TheMasters

[David Standring @David_Standring]

Is this the best that London & the SE can come up with? 😱🤷‍♂️ #greatbritishmenu

[David Standring @David_Standring]

@englandcricket Wow … so absolutely no accountability for the total ‘car crash’ of an Ashes winter? Sadly not unbelievable with this jolly boys club, where the buck never stops.

[David Standring @David_Standring]

@TheCricketerMag @GeorgeDobell1 Any chance of playing the CC in the summer months then, if it’s to be of any use as a test cricket proving ground … rather than just an inconvenience to squeeze around the 💰Hundred💰?

[David Standring @David_Standring]

Are @BBC trying to save cost by having #masterchef & #greatbritishmenu running concurrently with the same chefs on both?? 🤷‍♂️

[David Standring @David_Standring]

Shortest penalty advantage of all time for England there. 😡 #FravEng

[David Standring @David_Standring]

@RobertSSmith66 @sainsburys Exactly the sane for me @sainsburys … absolutely shocking way of treating your customers. Apparently in store staff are getting a lot of abuse about this …. no sh*t.

[David Standring @David_Standring]

@GolfMonthly Yep, but sadly I guess that’s supply & demand. Certainly not as bad as 20-30 years ago, but still feels like us lefties are at a disadvantage with range of clubs a) manufactured, b) given shelf space & c) available to try before buying.

[David Standring @David_Standring]

What has England’s ‘specialist fast bowling coach’ (David Saker) had to say about why none of Wood, Archer, Atkinson or Stokes could make it through <20 days of test cricket?? #Ashes2025 #ashes

[David Standring @David_Standring]

“You don’t get better by bowling less”. Jason Gillespie on comms. #ashes #Ashes2025

[David Standring @David_Standring]

Surprised Smith didn’t review that & rely on Snicko 🤷‍♂️ #ashes #Ashes2025

[David Standring @David_Standring]

If Root has to bat 4 (& I agree he should choose where he wants to bat), why does he drop to 5, below Bethell, when Carse is sent in as a pinch hitter??? 🤷‍♂️ #Ashes #ashes2025

[David Standring @David_Standring]

How come the Aussies are using UltraEdge (which appears to work) for #bbl2025 , but Snicko (which clearly doesn’t) for the #ashes #Ashes2025 … in the same stadia ??? 🤷‍♂️

[David Standring @David_Standring]

Has anyone seen or heard from Rob Key? 🤷‍♂️ #ashes2025

[David Standring @David_Standring]

@tickerscricket Pyrrhic?

[David Standring @David_Standring]

@DAVIDTH76538792 @GeorgeDobell1 Maybe alongside KP getting into a p*ssing contest with Mitchell Johnson every innings, when all he had to do was see him off for 6-7 overs for the good of both him & the rest of the batting order? Deja vu …

[David Standring @David_Standring]

@cricket_badger Just make them stay out there ‘til they’ve bowled 90 overs. Think you’ll see the rate improve remarkably quickly. #simples

[David Standring @David_Standring]

… & so the torture begins of that first look at the phone in the morning to see what the score is. 😱 #theashes #Ashes2025
