It’s been 3 years since Shaun Murphy pulled off THIS supernatural shot in the 2023 Welsh Open semi-final. 🤯 THE MAGICIAN! 🎩✨

Legendary actor Sir Patrick Stewart, best known for his roles as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek and Professor X in X-Men, has died. He was 86.

I played high-level baseball and high-level cricket. Hitting a cricket ball is dramatically easier. Not close. I was a left-handed hitter who played D1 baseball, got drafted, and spent two seasons in the minors (High-A and a cup of coffee in Double-A). I also played competitive cricket at a solid semi-pro/county second XI level after moving overseas, including against guys who had first-class and a couple of international appearances. Baseball: facing 94–97 mph with late life or a slider that started middle and finished off the plate was a nightmare. You have roughly 0.40 seconds. The bat is round. The sweet spot is tiny. Miss by half an inch and it’s a weak ground ball or a foul tip that still hurts. Even average big-league stuff made me look bad more often than not. Cricket: the bat is a wide, flat paddle. The ball is coming from further away (22 yards) and the effective reaction window feels longer. Even when a quick bowler was 88–92 mph with seam movement, the hitting area on a cricket bat is so large that making solid contact is much more forgiving. You can play late, use the pace, or just miss-hit and still find the gap because the face is so big. I scored plenty of runs against guys who bowled real heat and swing. The same stuff that would have had me swinging through air or chopping it into the ground in baseball was very hittable once I adjusted to the bounce and the bat face. The skill ceiling in cricket is real (footwork, playing late, handling swing and reverse swing, etc.), but pure ball-striking difficulty is not in the same universe as baseball. A competent baseball hitter with decent hand-eye can walk into a cricket net and start middling the ball almost immediately. The reverse is not true. I’ve seen good club cricket batters try baseball and get embarrassed by 90 mph straight fastballs with zero movement. Cricket fans love to say their sport is harder. On the pure act of hitting the ball hard and consistently, it isn’t. The equipment and the geometry make it far more forgiving. Baseball hitting is just a harder skill.

Comparing Manchester City to Lance Armstrong is absolutely miles off it. 🤣 He PHYSICALLY doped and gave him an unfair advantage that no amount of training or equipment could match. It wasn’t a case as simple as him having a better bike or equipment to gain a slight advantage. City did not dope or use PEDs. The advantage came from (compared to some clubs but not others) more investment and also just far better investment in the squad, infrastructure, coaching etc. essentially building a better ‘bike’ in the process and then using it more effectively than other teams on the whole.

🚨 Understand Michael Carrick will be given the opportunity to turn things around at Manchester United.
