Thread of cool maps you've (probably) never seen before 🧵

1. All roads lead to Rome

Sledging has been an integral part of cricket and it surely adds a different flavour to the game. Here is a thread 🧵 on some of the funny sledges taken place on cricket field!

1. Mark Waugh and James Ormand:

"what are you doing out here, you are clearly not good enough… to play for England."

In a swift and clever comeback, Ormond retorted, “Maybe so, but at least I’m the best player in my family."

This is an extraordinary story!

🧵
80 years ago today, newspapers in Europe carried news of the unexpected death of a very important man, in a hotel miles from the nearest city.
A man who, said some, was helping the Allies win the war.
But there was a twist to the tale. The man in question wasn't actually dead

You’re absolutely right! Correct boundaries per OS are hard to find

@gowellender @root66 Cooky’s in the crosshairs

Except

He needs 132 (or 82*) from his next innings to get his average up to 50, and so on and so on

Doubt he’ll do a Swann, though

@trussliz The thing is, none of this would’ve happened if you hadn’t been such a terrible PM. Why keep drawing attention to it?

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

As of today every single sewage company in England and Wales is under investigation as part of the "largest ever criminal investigation", into "widespread non-compliance".

What the hell has @Ofwat and @EnvAgency been doing the last 33 years?

Apparently, when Gareth passed his resignation to the FA, they passed it back, he then passed it sideways to Bellingham, who fed Kane, who then passed it to the keeper.

Great idea. Terrible name

[Samuel Hughes @SCP_Hughes]

The Government wants to build new towns. In a paper for @UKDayOne, @KaneEmerson and I propose a huge new town at the intersection of the East Coast Main Line and the planned East-West Rail. We believe this may be the best greenfield site in England. Here is why.

[Frankie Boyle Updates @frankieboyle]

They’re talking about Harry Kane like people thinking of putting a dog down

[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

No literary work did more to bring about the collapse of the Soviet Union than
The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

So why is it that most American students have never heard of it?

10 of the best quotes 🧵

[JDF 🇺🇦 @jdf35633]

@toryboypierce @RachelReevesMP I doubt she has.

When you look at public sector net debt to GDP, current financing costs and prospective revenue vs. expenditure, the UK’s finances are clearly in a worse state than they were then.

As James Anderson is about to end his international career I wanted to write this thread.
It’s about this inswinger to Marlon Samuels that trapped Marlon plumb in front in the Bridgetown test in 2015.
It’s one of my favorite spells of fast bowling in Test cricket .

@Shanegupta22 @djokovic Djok obviously hasn’t been to a Test Match at Lord’s recently #Rooooot

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

I’d make the point to @bbcquestiontime and other similar shows that given @TheGreenParty have precisely the same number of MPs - and precisely the same democratic legitimacy - they should in future be afforded precisely the same number of opportunities to speak as Farage.

Best film ever made!!

Alongside the other great “2”s.. Rocky II and The Godfather Part 2

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY was released 33 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great blockbuster action films, and among the best sequels ever made, it remains a hugely spectacular movie with a making of story to match…
