(1) Never mind, it’s nearly over. I’ve had my eye on the date of the final since it started. It is easily avoided though, unless you write for cricket for a living, I guess.
(2) This Sartak Dev character hits the nail right on the head, but alas, no amount of disparaging or contemptuous writing will change anything towards the bowlers getting a fair go in T20 – IPL or otherwise. It’s nice to read though.
(5) I can believe Andrew Hilditch is 70, if I’m 65. (Useless trivia: I only found out a few years ago I was born only four days after Dean Jones).
(6) Mi-Sex. I’m amazed how many of these groups are still going. A friend told me last year that Cheap Trick was in Australia touring, with all but one original member. (I think it was last year).
I was taken by the sign in one of those pics - 'STARVIKING HYPNO' - and naturally had to Google it. Thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole, it was very entertaining.
Hesperian Press in Perth produces a number of worthwhile books especially about routes of early explorers with detailed maps - wonderful book written by Ernest. Giles. One of our neglected explorers

Even watching a 50 ball century is boring.
‘No amount of shrieking hyperbole from the commentary box can conceal the foundational hollowness of such a thing.’
AMEN
I heard someone a week back pronounce Hyper Bowl- a teacher no less!
A beautiful moment of hilarity- not on reflection that pronunciation is kinda perfect.
Love a good Matilda tank...

I've been to Boffin Books a few times. That's terrible news.
