Should a two year old be able to pull through mid on this well? #pinchhitter #Cricket #TMS

Said it before, I’ll say it again. All @Twitter accounts should be verified with a credit card or similar. Then anyone who trolls/tweets abuse etc can be removed and face criminal charges. This isn’t just about Anti Semitism, it’s about all forms of hate #BoycottTwitter

Labour voters' opinion on Starmer as Labour leader:

Approve: 77%
Disapprove: 6%
(Source: Opinium 25/07/2020)

That 6% may be incredibly loud on Twitter but in reality they are a tiny minority.

@StevenDuggan7 @johncmunton @fabcraftbeer @thecricketbtq @GMCricket I wish!!

[Martin Strawson @nitramjs]

Huge thanks to @johncmunton for our club sponsorship, @fabcraftbeer for my player sponsorship and @thecricketbtq for the new bat from @GMCricket. Can’t wait to get playing cricket again now.

@kirmantheimp @d_manby @englandcricket It had crossed my mind. Think a player like Stokes will never be 100% fit, mind.

[Martin Strawson @nitramjs]

Great prob for @englandcricket selectors ahead of the 3rd test. All bowlers have a claim.
Woakes - excellent new ball proponent
Broad - liable for a burst every now and then
Jimmy - 🐐
Archer/Wood - raw pace with control
Curran - something always happens
Leach v Bess??? 🤯

[Martin Strawson @nitramjs]

@kirmantheimp @englandcricket And that’s the debate. IMO they have to pick the bowlers who (with Stokes) will take 20 wickets. Jimmy and Broad have to be in for me. (They’ve had six “bad” series between them in the last five years..) Bess needs game time to improve. Then it’s Curran, Woakes or Archer for me.

@SkyCricket @benstokes38 @StuartBroad8 @chriswoakes Not sure about the use of the Nazi term for “lightning war” to describe an innings by an England cricket player...

[Martin Strawson @nitramjs]

@EamonnLMoore @benpearce82 It’s the lack of opportunities for me. Chelsea under transfer embargo aside, non of the big clubs will take a young player and give them a chance. They’d rather sell them and then buy them back for £50m+ later

[Martin Strawson @nitramjs]

The transfer of #Bellingham to @BlackYellow shows just how little faith young players (and their agents??) have in top English clubs to develop them.

@ScouseAlex Mental

[Martin Strawson @nitramjs]

@AFootballWriter @htafc Hudson, I’d imagine.

[Martin Strawson @nitramjs]

Take over a team with no wins in in seven months.

Guide them to safety in your first season at that level.

Beat a team who are on the verge of automatic promotion.

Sacked two days later.

Mental. Thoughts with Danny and Nicky, hope they’ve got a massive payout.

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]

📝 #htafc has today relieved Danny Cowley of his duties as Manager.

Assistant Manager Nicky Cowley will also depart the Club immediately.

@kmdavison12 @liamjscully @PaulCarrott3 @LincolnCity_FC @ErreaOfficial My boys got the 7-8 in the old kit. They’re 3 and a half. It fits them reasonably well. The sizing is my one criticism of the Errea kits.

@tbitz @running_riches Wow. Took me months to recover from my wife’s Csection...

[Martin Strawson @nitramjs]

@Staceywestblog Vilified suggests targeted. He was. Utterly awful in that spell. It also meant Woody (who has started the season well in CM) moved to RB and Beevs was dropped - who had also started the season fantastically. Didn’t we lose two and draw one of the matches he played? Shocking.
