@AatifNawaz @bbctms Agree, ‘no need’ to wear a helmet batting against a slower bowler is ridiculous @stephanshemilt imagine top edging one into your face! They replace helmets if hit, by the same extent if a players helmet is ill fitting it’s a legitimate safety concern regardless of when it breaks

What would Woakes do @chriswoakes

[Ali Martin @Cricket_Ali]

Chris Woakes returns to the Test team after more than a year out, takes 19wkts in an incredible Ashes series, winning runs at Headingley, named player of the series … and his only post on the old socials since is a tribute to Stuart Broad and Moeen Ali. Be more Woakes, people

The use of fixed-term contracts is widespread in UK HE Geography but it's effects (long & short term) are not well understood. This project seeks to address this by exploring experiences of precarity across UK academic geography🧵

The Blast 💥 is about to start. When the Championship should be in full swing. The Blast, meanwhile, or a county T20 of some description (probably two divisions) should be starting in the school holidays.

@h_wootton @LauraA_Dlr @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice Just to add on the crash front: avoid working on a file held on a cloud or uni/company server data drive: work off PC main drive only, then get in the habit of backup after each session with a time stamp: definitely better safe than sorry!
