RIP Mick Hunt, the legendary head groundsman at @HomeOfCricket who passed away today. Mick joined the ground staff in 1969 and retired in 2018 after 49 years of loyal service. #cricketcounts
Seth Lugo set the tone for Team Puerto Rico, delivering four scoreless innings, allowing just three hits against Team Colombia. Lugo most notably escaped a second-inning jam with runners on 2nd and 3rd before PR got on the board.
Strong way to open up the WBC for Team Rubio.
It will be a big win.
Loving the symmetry of a five-run fifth creating a five run lead. Hope it holds up. #wbc 🇵🇷
And that hand off that is really just a gentle tap.
It would be a big win.

Cristopher Sanchez! The first 4-strikeout inning in WBC history !!
Not just true of word count.
For-ni-ca-ti-on sounds as serious as the ministers and judges thought it was. Nowadays, it's 20 percent less serious.

How many minutes are you expecting him to play today?
A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.
UPDATE! 🌹🎉
I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99
Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy!

Feel it's time to mention this again. I am quite proud of it, so... #booksky #LouisMacNeice #poetry
Handshakes to all my Irish friends.
But we are so back, baby.
Goodnight from the all-night sausage stall on Ashcourt’s Markham Street, where gossip about the Smiling Man is an engine of shudders. Goodnight from The Half Moon, where Joxy Collins is convinced the stuffed crow perching on its walnut bar just blinked and cawed at him. Goodnight from Hookland.

@garfieldr.bsky.social Just read your piece on youth cricket in Jamaica in @nightwatchmanxi.bsky.social. Excellent points made. I hear promising stories from Dominica, but I wonder about elsewhere in the region.
We all need more Queen Anne in our lives! There was a Stuart worthy of the name.
My article on Queen Anne’s wardrobe has just been published OA.
I provide a qualitative & quantitative overview of her extensive wardrobe accounts (incl makers & suppliers) & show how fashion influenced her representation!

'Sir Jazz' would be glorious. I am rooting for the lads!
There is a chap on the GB team with the delightful name Jazz Chisholm. He qualifies (as do several players) by dint of having Bahamian parents or grandparents who were British citizens back in the days of it being a colony. The dying embers of empire. He is a New York Yankee when not being a Brit.
If GB wins it all, it would both be really funny and could give us Sir Jazz Chisholm, which would be very cool. @giojrivera.bsky.social and you should swap assignments one day, you do baseball and him cricket. Or maybe co-commentate on each sport. It'd be interesting.
I was more distraught to learn Clare won't (once again) be the Jays' starting (or even back up) short stop, though her reason for this seems admirable.
A bird of prey perched on a gloved hand, held by a person wearing an outdoor jacket. The bird has dark feathers with lighter brown tones on the wings and legs. The scene takes place on a paved walkway with a wooden railing and soft-focus buildings in the background. Another person stands to the right, partially visible. Above the bird, bold curved text reads “BARNEY,” and a light radial pattern appears at the bottom of the image.
Meet Barney, our new Head of Pigeon Deterrence at Colchester Castle. He's a Harris's hawk with GB Hawking, and he'll be making regular visits to encourage our rather persistent flock of pigeons to find somewhere else to roost.
Oh, you're talking rugby. That's sort of a relief, tbh, these days.
Drop in on the local independent bike shop (even the ones that look exclusive tend not to be), but smaller might be better if you have a choice, and tell them what you are hoping to achieve.
If their first question is ab what you want to buy, try the next place. If it's about you, stick around.
