Harry Kane won the Ballon D'Or in London this week. Harry Brook is a leading contender for the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy this year. We take a look at what the data says about previous winners, do we agree with the ICC? oddsworth.net/blog/crickets-…

We quietly released our new score predictor model last night. Difficult to stay just as quiet today after seeing the first prediction 😎 Yes it's one result and doesn't prove anything xD (The log-loss on our held-out data does that 😏)

An ageing Australia sit top of the pile. Despite their incredible recent record they can't be deemed great and they epitomise a growing issue for test cricket. oddsworth.net/blog/the-old-m…

Just went to Parliament Square & held up a blank piece of paper. Officer came & asked for my details. He confirmed that if I wrote “Not My King” on it, he would arrest me under the Public Order Act because someone might be offended.

The arrests of republican protestors is wrong, anti-democratic and an abuse of the law. People should be able to express their views as a basic right. metro.co.uk/2022/09/13/man-t…

Well done to @snell77 and Blyth Duncan Jr for getting on the @NCB_Cricket Bowling Honours Board. Alan took 4-15 on Saturday as he bowled the 2nd XI to there first win on the season. Blyth Duncan Jr had figures of 4-3-4 as he helped the midweek XI win in the Ian Appleby cup

I have finally recovered emotionally enough to tell the story of a Zoom corporate gig I did earlier this year which ended with the client interrupting what I was doing, asking me to do something else, and me responding by playing "Happy Birthday" on the clarinet and hanging up.

The year is 2030. Bakery art is so realistic, literally anything could be cake. The uncertainty has gripped the world in fear. I go to hug my wife for comfort. She is cake.
