@airindia Immediate offer of compensation and support. @BoeingAirplanes first statement "we're looking into it" and second statement "oh yeah, and we are sorry for the people, blah, blah". So which one sounds like it cares?

@PostOffice is your savings website down? I cannot find any way to log in. I'm a new account holder and I'm very confused

Speaking to BBC, Saks: the world thought Russia had “the second most powerful army in the world. Yesterday everybody knew that Russia was the second most powerful army in Ukraine and today we're seeing how... the Russian army is becoming the second most powerful army in Russia."

How are teams meant to decide Strategy when stewards' decisions just blow in the wind? Hamilton would have taken fresh tyres if he'd known #F1Finale #F1

@KevinHowells16 Should be able to nominate 11 players before toss plus one extra. If you LOSE toss you can sub in that one player depending on choice of team that wins toss to bat/bowl #NZvsIND #t20worldcup2021

I can hear you now wherever I go @AlexHartley93 @norcrosscricket #thehundred #bbccricket

@AlexHartley93 @norcrosscricket you fondly seem to imagine that we can hear you Alex. You have been silenced! #thehundred #bbccricket

[Neil Adam @NeilAdam]

You are right, I can get Alex on #bbcsounds. Perhaps I should stick with the BBC Sport website link 😝@AlexHartley93 @norcrosscricket #thehundred #bbccricket

We are still spared Alex's dulcet tones @AlexHartley93 @norcrosscricket #thehundred #bbccricket

So, if made to bat first they could sub in another batter, or an extra spinner for a deteriorating 4th innings pitch. #bbccricket @MichaelVaughan @tmsproducer

The toss remains such an advantage, here's an idea: both teams nominate a playing 11 and a sub. If they win the toss, they have to go with the 11; if they lose, they can decide whether to sub in the 12th Man #bbccricket @MichaelVaughan @tmsproducer

@izzywestbury how about a "vive" for five balls and the ten making a "turn" #TheHundred

[Neil Adam @NeilAdam]

@izzywestbury @norcrosscricket Nah! Too fancy. I'd go for a "vive". Possibly a "turn" for a pair of vives. #TheHundred2021
