Absolutely astonishing. During Russian Channel 1’s evening news broadcast, a woman ran onto the set with a sign: “No war…Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”

Where were you when this happened? (7 years ago today)

Throughout the pandemic Siouxsie Wiles and Michael Baker have been very similar in their analysis. Both on the cautious side of spectrum, readily available to media, & always backed up their views with science. Yet only one is constantly harassed by a certain type. Wonder why

You’ve been a great ambassador of the game Ross! It was wonderful playing against you. The way you reinvented yourself over the years to adapt is an inspiration for all the young kids aspiring to be cricketers. Heartiest congratulations on a fabulous career.
