happy husband, father and dog dad, wisden collector and Liverpool fan. All views are my own but 1 of my kidneys isn’t.

This is all. My captain, my club.

@dazjamescarter @BBCMOTD Diving anywhere, pretending to have been hit by Mike Tyson, surrounding the ref. All yellows at least sypurely. Why are these hardly ever enforced?

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@redgolf99 @GFoxyFowler Or a slow back of the hand Yorker. These guys were pretty much bought up on T20, so why don’t they use these skills? Also, I’m afraid the constant barrage of short balls just doesn’t work, lunacy. Anyone watched Glen McGrath in his pomp?

@abhirup_ro53057 @AnfieldWatch Someone’s been on the pop……

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@AnfieldWatch Kelleher is a better keeper. Defence is so shaky it’s hard to tell if Mama is worth it, but he doesn’t inspire the same level of confidence that Ali always does.

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@WisdenCricket Key has said to county cricketers to go out there and get runs and wickets. If he now ignores the evidence in front of him eg Gay, Rew, then he’s a damn fool. don’t ruin Bethell by opening with him, and pick proper openers with the right mentality of an opener. Zak is toast.

@WG_RumblePants CMJ, the very best of the rest. Looked at cricket as a partial outsider and amateur, so made it come alive for those of us who have never played at any high level. Agree that Ritchie was the best at creating the pictures but I prefer CMJ’s voice and empathy with the listener.

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@harshktweets No Grace, Trumper, Lindwall or Hobbs? Recency bias….

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@AnfieldWatch He has been a terrible coach so far. Wouldn’t want to spoil his playing days by him badly running an already poor side.

@GC_Rail bought my 1st class ticket from York to KX from LNER. Tried to access their 1st class lounge this morning only to be denied access as I am travelling with GC.
really petty isn’t it.
An agreement with LNER is surely the right way to go. Any thoughts on this? Steve

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@LNER bought my 1st class ticket from York to London on LNER. this morning I was denied access to the 1st class lounge at York due to petty rule about travelling with Grand Central. really poor and terribly petty. Any thoughts LNER?

@BROKENBRITAIN0 Starmer doesn’t need anyone to shred his own reputation..

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@minevian @cyclingontnt @BritishCycling I know he’s British. But he’s raced for Aus for years, made his name and got to the top of his sport there, beaten a lot of Brits etc etc, so he’s an Aussie.

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@tractor_girl99 @cyclingontnt @BritishCycling After benefitting from the Aus training programme and making him a massive star. Ok.

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@TuttiFluti @JamesLucasIT Or any other Caravaggio. A brilliant psychopath of an artist.

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@JamesLucasIT The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist by Caravaggio in St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta. Full of drama and brutality, as dark as it gets. Also massive, c 3x5m. Went back outside into the brilliant sunshine and the world seemed different.

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@EnglandRugby Wonderful player. Saw him at Otley, a day to remember with a brilliant North team.

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@cricketontnt So snicko was spot on for this one, but what about the Carey dismissal which looked out of sync? What’s going on out there?

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@WG_RumblePants Perhaps tell Rob Key and Baz that. See if their England test players would enjoy a day out, maybe even play a red ball game.

[Steve Chrispin @misterspoons]

@NoContextCounty Only 9 days of cricket when this actually matters.
