Have been pretty quiet here since I moved out of sport journalism, but thought this audience might enjoy a status update. Apparently I'm now an International Cricketer. Amazing experience playing 🇸🇪 & 🇩🇪. We'll be back - and bigger & stronger! 🇪🇪 #EestiKriket

Still trying to get my emotions together. If you'd told me we'd knock a French side with Renard, Le Sommer, Diani etc out of a WC...

So proud of the #Matildas - they gave it absolutely everything. Eng know what losing a WC semi-final feels like - then they went on and won the Euros & made their first ever WC final. Can't wait for the next chapter this Tillies side will write.

Well done Central Coast Mariners - Torres & Doka were a cut above. If I was still writing about football you'd get 1000wds filed on whistle about "Josh Nisbet & the magic of the defensive 10". Head up Nix - still 270 minutes to bleed.

I've called all my children Wellington Phoenix & I hate Victory with the heat of the sun - but that is never a penalty. Justice done - let's win this properly.

Busy 24 hrs for Wellington Phoenix 🔥 head coaches, past & present: Giancarlo Italiano, Ufuk Talay, Des Buckingham & Darije Kalezic ALL involved in post-season playoff finals. Congrats Des who took Oxford United to the Championship & Darije whose tilt for the Eredivisie continues.

Absolutely delighted for this man - a quality coach & an even better human. A masterclass in humility: he's just taken his hometown club to one of the world's top leagues, at the first time of asking. 👏 🏆 🚀

Epic Showdown in Estonia! 💥 A record 177-run tie leads to a Golden Ball decider between Malta and hosts Estonia. 🌟🏏 #EuropeanCricket #StrongerTogether

Wild to be a part of this - a crazy finish to a gruelling two weeks of cricket. So proud of the Eesti boys for never giving up 💪

*DOUBLE WORLD RECORD ALERT* Just watched my teammate Sahil Chauhan bomb 18 sixes (world record) and bring up a century in 27 balls (world record) en route to 144* (41) against Cyprus in a T20 International. Unbelievable moment for Estonian cricket 🔥🔥

Estonia's Sahil Chauhan just scored the fastest T20I ton! 💥 He mustered 1️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ not out off just 41 balls helping Estonia chase 192 vs Cyprus. #EuropeanCricket #StrongerTogether

The Matildas go out in the group stage of #Paris2024 The least productive reaction would be to pin the blame entirely on Tony Gustavsson alone as a scapegoat. Gustavsson has gone to great lengths to communicate the extent to which he has delegated (or abdicated) his

Hang it in the Louvre. The "Big Baltic Blue" sees honours go to Eesti Kriketi Liit - Estonian Cricket Association at the World Cup Qualifiers in Guernsey. What a result - so proud of the boys! 💪🇪🇪🏏

Des Buckingham's Oxford United.. never has a name and a football club felt so right together. Des brought us together with Oxford values and passion, building something special, that created lifelong memories. Always has been and always will be, one of us 💛 #OUFC

Your PSA announcement that on points-per-game they've picked up since Chris Greenacre took over at Wellington Phoenix 🔥 - they'd not only have made the six, but they'd have won the #ALeagueMen Premiership 🔥🔥
