I'm not a fan of The 100, needs to be discontinued, needs the plug pulling. It's not attracting the cream.

One bad sequence of lows does not a climate make!

Can anyone recommend a good source of statistics on cricket?.

Especially comparing how particular bowlers perform against particular batters and visa versa ?

Side question for you cricket guys. I was looking to buy some Lignum Vitae timber as saw this ..

"One of the more popular uses for this wood is to form cricket bats to be used in windy locations"

Really? I did a google and all I saw was willow. They must weigh a ton, it's so dense it sinks in water.

Makes sense. Strange comment about windy locations though, maybe a chatbot wrote it.

just fyi I saw it here https://www.hitchcockandking.co.uk/h-k- ... the-world/ They've even used a photo of someone swinging what looks to me like a very willowy looking bat.

My first manager had worked for a timber importer and he told me lignum is so hard and self-lubricating it has been used for bearings.

Nature gave us an amazing parts warehouse. And were would the poetry be in hearing the sound of plasic on aluminium on the village green

I suspect that's a typo and it's meant to say bails, not bats.

That is an impressive win by Manchester Originals, to train that chase and leave 4 balls unused.
