@FaaizAhmed123 @aseemshiva78 Hardly a league of their own. They’ve had better luck with the weather.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@DavidBHerbert @ClaudiaWebbe Well it’s hardly affordable now David.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@DavidBHerbert @ClaudiaWebbe Or, you know… house prices could be not inflated by hedge fund landlords so everyone could afford one.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@DavidBHerbert @ClaudiaWebbe Will someone please think of the hedge fund landlords 😢

@someRobguyidk @DraxTemerity @MrHarryCole I don’t really believe the main broadcasters in the UK were pro anything in 2017, even after Brexit. Then GB news came along and they saw their staff and their viewers disappear so they began to take a side on things they used to keep somewhat neutral on.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@someRobguyidk @DraxTemerity @MrHarryCole With the coverage of the Middle East wars the last couple of years, it’s definitely shifted further right. It was so rare for any broadcaster to be even slightly pro Israel. Things have changed a lot.

@vikramauin @collinsadam Because it does absolutely bugger all long term for anyone.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@Final_Word_Pod @collinsadam Imagine they did all this, then India and Pakistan end up in opposite groups by a clerical error or something.

@theatheistqdup @jamilmusman_ Cricket would’ve possibly been in earlier if India had signed up to WADA.

@AidGallo @SkySportsNews A hat tip to you, sir.

@BarryOKeeffe68 @MarkAdair32 @irishcricketpod I totally agree with you btw. It’s just cricket boards doing cricket board things. Australia changed their policy so the ECB could as well I guess.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@BarryOKeeffe68 @MarkAdair32 @irishcricketpod The ECB isn’t really stopping them from working as professional cricketers, they just don’t allow them to be classified as local. If they gave up representing Ireland, they can play as a local on an Irish passport.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@BarryOKeeffe68 @MarkAdair32 @irishcricketpod It was the case in Australia until recently. If you were an Australian citizen representing another country, you couldn’t play state cricket as a local as you were deemed not available for national selection. Pretty sure this happened with Murray Goodwin.

@MrDazOLam @1980MSK @TheCricketerMag But the last bat made 26

@David310734 @PeterDellaPenna I don’t think it’s a race issue. It’s just a product that’s been aggressively optimised for a viewership that doesn’t exist outside of Indian and its diaspora. It’s a real shame because I really enjoyed the first few seasons of it.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@David310734 @PeterDellaPenna This is the inherent problem with transplanting IPL franchises into random markets. It’s target market is elsewhere.

@jessicaelgot It’s been fun watching the popular right twitterati lose their collective shit over a bin. They have no gears for counter arguments other than that all out rabid dog attack mode. I’m kinda surprised every one of them has walked straight into the trap. They have to be bots, surely

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@ErikStrand12 @hobday_jon I thought it was Nauru as well.

[bob dickson @bob_dicks]

@chall77 @hobday_jon British dependency

@Geiger_Capital The US isn’t even as old as ONE Greenland shark.
