Then the waffle about no one with potential above the age of Ahmed's 17 years. Well spin bowling take tremendous courage. Spinners get that courage beaten out of them before they reach their twenties. Leach eg. turned it before a coach reported him for 💪 and lost his venom

I suppose the reply will be, "but the the opponents's spinners will bowl us out". Ah catch 22. 2/n

Scyld Berry writes in The Telegraph that Shoaib Bashir took his haul to 49 wickets in 15 Tests, "but the limitations are becoming ever more apparent. He can only take wickets on "turners". Well give him turners. 1/n

@valderee53 @TorstenBell In part yes. Not sure they were strictly our own efforts. There was a lot of demand management, active government, financed by asset sales. Thatcher was a Keynesian.

@valderee53 @TorstenBell Think you have the second 9 and the 7 inverted.

@malleegirl57 @MailOnline Why does Trump seem to hate Ukraine's President?

Trump needs Putin to appear strong so that Europe and Ukraine buys Trump's protection (gangster racket). Zelensky has shown how weak Russia really is.

[Cricket At Third Man @downatthirdman]

In the historical //s of Emperors, Colonials, Revolutionaries and Loyalists, Putin = George3, Zelensky = Roger Sherman and Trump = William Franklin.

@bhogle @amol_desai Best results for cricket come when the data is open to all.

@the_kk I was just going along with your jest, but clumsily.

@fredfertang @SeanEhlers @CricketWebNet The 💯 has introduced many to the Pav @ Lord's. Last yr I came across at party of young men enjoying the mustaches of the 1909 Australians in a team photograph. None of them had heard of Trumper. I hope after our brief chat they could remember to look him up the following day.

@kamilkazani As Keynes "Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back."

I’m beginning to understand why translations of my philosophy books are bestsellers in Turkey

[Cricket At Third Man @downatthirdman]

So true. Cricket is 95% physics and bio mechanics.

The best thing to happen to cricket recently has been the fact that there are guys with ball tracking data on twitter with elite knowledge of the game who are using it to generate remarkable insight. It’s a shame the professional setup isn’t using it.

@BishOnTheRockx V interesting interview. Pope seen as owing much to Bell. But hard to see that influence now. Perhaps it is all the tinkering. In the late 1960s, Grey Nicks brought out a bat called a Super Short. FWIW had a great run when accidentally picking up a Harrow thinking this feels 👍
