@ToppersSnr @huwzat @SomersetGrockle @simonhancock_uk @ECB_cricket @VitalityBlast Always ahead of the game! 😎 We need to dig out that t10 piece for the cricketer, Huw.

@ToppersSnr @huwzat @SomersetGrockle @simonhancock_uk @ECB_cricket @VitalityBlast It's usually time of the month for us, Don, not year. No smutty come backs either thanks.

@ToppersSnr @huwzat @SomersetGrockle @simonhancock_uk @ECB_cricket @VitalityBlast The100 has had to compromise? Come on, Don, even you can't have said that with a straight face? 😁

Genuinely still trying to process what England have just done. Enough to say that, at its pinnacle, Test cricket transcends sport and becomes pure human drama, something Shakespearian.

@MarkfromMadrid @loftusdel @Deanosborn Happy Birthday Del!!

Was it you @Martycricket that was telling me how much you loved your trips to Doggerland by the North Sea? Or am I getting this confused?

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Just 9,000 years ago Britain was connected to continental Europe by an area of land called Doggerland, which is now submerged beneath the southern North Sea.

Doggerland was a mix of marshes, swamps, wooded valleys and hills, and most likely inhabited by humans during the Mesolithic period (10,000 to 8,000 BCE). It was teeming with migrating wildlife and served as a seasonal hunting ground for humans.

However, as ice melted at the end of the last glacial period, sea levels rose and Doggerland eventually became submerged, cutting off the British peninsula from the European continent by around 7,000 BC.

Dogger Bank (shown on the map) briefly remained an island before submerging underwater. The area today is known among fishermen to be a productive fishing bank and is very shallow at only about 50 to 120 ft (15 - 36 m) deep.

Over the years fishermen from the North Sea have dredged up hand-made bone artifacts, textile fragments, paddles, dug-out canoes, fish traps, a 13,000-year-old human remain, a woolly mammoth skull and a skull fragment of a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal.

"The💯 has been a huge success." Now the new Glamorgan chair. This is starting to sound like the party line. It's been inc. divisive. 'Media coverage' ref made me chuckle. Barely line on it in broadsheets thru Aug. Yes tickets sell well in Cardiff* (school holidays all to itself)

[Kevin P Hand @KevinHandSport]

@TobyRadford1 Bloody well written piece that!

[Kevin P Hand @KevinHandSport]

@dannykellywords Learning how to! 👍

[Danny Kelly @dannykellywords]

RIP Shane. Poet, singer and arguably the greatest talent thrown up by the London-Irish community. He spoke for us all. And, at his best, he touched everyone.

[Kevin P Hand @KevinHandSport]

What a game - what a day! Congratulations Australia! Incredible to overcome India in Ahmedabad in front of a 130,000 sea of blue! Brilliant team on @AJE_Sport to work with for me. Filling the county void! 😅 #CWC2023Final #CWC23 #INDvAUS

[Kevin P Hand @KevinHandSport]

Spoke to Dizzy yesterday for @AJE_Sport and he told me: "you heard it here first - India are ripe for the picking"! He wasn't wrong! #INDvsAUS #CWC23Final #CWC23

[AJE Sport @AJE_Sport]

Australia legend Jason Gillespie has backed his fellow countrymen to pull off one of the great Cricket World Cup final performances against an India side that are “ripe for the picking” on Sunday in Ahmedabad 🏏

The volume inside the stadium in Ahmedabad is like a swingometer - from the deathly silence when Kohli fell to the eruption when Shami claimed Warner. Could the bowl of blue help the Indian bowlers to drown Australia? @AJE_Sport #INDvsAUS #WorldcupFinal #CWC2023Final #CWC23

[Kevin P Hand @KevinHandSport]

Having a blast with @aje_sport as part of their #INDvsAUSfinal coverage... #CWC2023Final
