Last three years, if Steve Smith comes in during the first 20 overs, he averages 34; come in after that point, he averages 72.
Australia aren't good enough to be pushing Smith up to No.3 - and he probably isn't good enough to do it any more.

Funniest thing George Bailey can do right now is select a retired from first class cricket Mitch Marsh to bat 3 next test.
Would love to watch the online crowd lose their mind over it
Jack Edwards, let’s goooo
Sloop John b aside - I don’t think let sounds is a very good album. I’ve never understood the beach boys. And whilst I’m at it. I’ve never got the Rolling Stones, oasis or U2 - they’re just not very good and I don’t understand the chokehold they have on multiple generations.

OBAMA: The president wasn't even mad. About The Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about The Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House.
They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke.

Appears to be absolutely MASSIVE protests all across the US yesterday and this platform is so skewed to the Trump/Putin side that this is the first I've seen or heard of it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The montage uses recycled footage from larger 2025 and March 2026 No Kings protests, not Oct 17 2026 Vote Early events. Those were smaller localized gatherings (hundreds to thousands per city) focused on early voting, not the massive crowds shown.

Just got an infuriating letter from @cityofsydney inviting us to comment on proposals to heritage list a series of the ugliest, shittiest post-WWII buildings you've already seen.
Why don't we heritage list this letter to commemorate how stupid it is, demolish the buildings, and build some fucking housing.

Only time I will ever praise a Victorian. Fantastic tweet and great set up.

There’s a strong argument that uni students, people who are self employed or have permission from their boss can do whatever they want. It was a great environment and a huge success, but CV apologies for removing the 34 most productive people from Victoria’s economy.
