MelYES! And Broad took the last wicket - what a way to end a brilliant career. Now if we could just control the Manchester weather! 😉 #MensAshes #cricket
So good watching Broad when he us in the middle of a spell like this! #MensAshes #cricket
Watching the #MensAshes and also have half an eye on the #WIvInd ODI... it's amazing how much more attaching England's batsmen are compared to the West Indies. And they are playing a Test! #cricket
On a more positive note - final #MensAshes test today assuming the weather behaves and 8am still.on holiday until Monday. #cricket
RosamundiI have, on several previous occasions, called Zak Crawley a doughnut. I regret the error. #MensAshes #Cricket #TheAshes #EnglandCricket
Do I want to spend my day explaining how using "The Ashes" to mean the men's series and the women's series getting the qualifier "Women's Ashes" is "male as norm" or "default male" language, and that referring to "The Ashes summer" covering both series, and using the appropriate qualifier for both the men's and women's series, is a step towards equality, or do I want to set fire to my own head? 🤔
Druid 🏴My very first thoughts when I saw the below headline were:
Who's ashes?
Why are they of multiple men?
Are they all stored in the same pot?
You can tell I don't follow sport at all.
EDIT: Marked the media as sensitive as it contains a cricket score you might not want to know yet.
🦇 Jennie Rigg 🏳️🌈 (she/her)There's always something special about a test at headingley - Lords is the home of cricket my arse - but that morning of tasty tasty aussie wickets was delightful
