Difficult to even remember now what the only thing Alex Carey was ever going to be remembered for was. Was it the falling in a swimming pool thing? I think thatβs right. #SLvAUS π

Usually England being unchanged would be a mark of confidence in the existing team.
In this case, I rather fear it's a sign that a) they donβt believe Sophia Dunkley would perform any better than any of the existing batters, and b) there are literally no other batting options. #Ashes
Maiden ODI century for Ash Gardner (100 balls faced, 8x4 1x6), who becomes the first Indigenous Australian woman to score an international hundred, and the first #6 batter in women's ODI history to reach three figures.

Especially if youβre Rob Key, who says nobody wants to watch wicket keepers standing up with seam bowling.
Things we celebrate on this day:
1) Boxing Day Test Eve
2) Birth of Alastair Cook, Marcus Trescothick and Simon Jones
3) 100 days until the County Championship starts
I think thatβs covered everything, right?
On temperature, it feels to me like 100 is just right for βbloody hot outβ (and 37.7 is rubbish), whereas 0 is just right for water freezing (and 32 is rubbish), so both C and F leave something to be desiredβ¦ Geoff, youβre just the man to propose a better, third way, surely?
Late to the party watching AUSvNZ but thoroughly enjoying it. Rosemary Mair bowling v nicely. Crikey AUS bat deepβ¦
