@[email protected] That it's happening, that it's not a pipedream, that there's investment, that it can transform the lives, opportunities and ambitions of many, many of those billion and a bit people - that's nuts. It's not perfect, it needs to be scrutinised. But it's nuts what can come from it.

Crikey. This is actually nuts. Avg. price of ~USD $115M for each of the 5 teams. Transformative stuff. Women's sport, you can make a buck... #WPL

Of course, more seriously, that's not the point. Firstly, having the awareness and coordination to excecute a Mankad is a skill, so the argument is void in and of itself. But even if it didn't require skill - give a shit, quite frankly. This is what rules are for. So many sighs.

If all the wickets I took in my career relied simply on skill... [whispers] I wouldn't have many wickets. #caughtlongon #amen

Completely deficient of any actual skill in taking a wicket https://twitter.com/AatifNawaz/status/1614631521037475841

“I get that it's legal. I get that it's part of the rules. But a tiny piece of my heart breaks seeing this happen at U19s level. I guess this is where the game is going...”

I may just resign myself to the fact that I'm a curmudgeonly so-and-so but am also willing to die on this hill.

How irritated am I allowed to be at ppl announcing 'personal news' and then proceeding to detail something that is rather strictly 'professional news' instead.

One of the funniest things about the Mankad 'debate' is, umm, so in baseball when you're straying outta your crease (or y'know the equivalent, the base) you're attempting to 'steal a base'. Lol, we are literally trying to stop you stealing what's not yours.

On the contrary, this is glorious. The run out, the strut, the headband... the damn friggin mic drop. You go queen, imma right behind you. 👑
