What a difference a day makes?
UK kids born today (1st September) are more likely to have better outcomes in sport & academically than those born yesterday (31st August).
In cricket you are 6x more likely to be selected for Regional U15s when born in September than August.

As a coach, the people you surround yourself with matter. Good coaching mates challenge your thinking, share ideas freely, and make you better. Don’t try to do it alone.
41% of this group including the Head Coach & Captain were born between September & November.

Up to 16.2 million people misled. The Daily Mail said the Government was “wasting a fortune” on emergency advice – but no cost has been published, and the article gives none. Repost and help us fight press disinformation: hackedoff.org/blog-posts/no-…

The manipulation of data they tried to pull off in the UK "antisemitism" report is so forward it's almost offensive they thought people wouldn't notice.
"Are you just as open to having Jewish friends as you are to have friends from other parts of British society?
is NOT the same question as:
"Are you comfortable spending time with people who openly support Israel?"
They tried to use the answers to these two VERY different questions- the first posed in 2020 and the second one in 2026 - as "evidence" that antisemitism is on the rise in the UK.
And even then they STILL had to admit that it's criticism of ISRAEL that's on the rise, NOT bias against Jewish people.

Group kids by biological age, not birth year, once every month, and suddenly the player who was “just surviving” shows real hockey sense. John Lind on how Sweden is utilizing the bio-banding approach to player development.

The ECB has abandoned using the Rooney Rule in recruiting coaches for England teams.

This is good news for the ECB as the only way cricket will be the most inclusive sport is if football becomes a whole lot more exclusive.

Good to see that Will Smeed has withdrawn from the Afghanistan Premier League draft. I hope that the two other Somerset players registered, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and James Rew, follow his lead, because they don't want to play in a league endorsed by the Taliban, do they?

The ECB are signatories of the Brighton & Helsinki Declaration. By allowing NOCs for men to play something that is not available to women clearly breaks Principle 5b.
ECB will grant NOCs for English players to play in the Afghanistan Premier League in Dec-Jan (subject to ICC approval) despite refusal to play Afghanistan in bilateral series
Pope, Vince, Roy, Moeen among those registered for October's draft

Media references to #LolaSalem have been disappearing all day, even though it had taken the fearless gentlemen of His Majesty’s Press until 10 October to report her court appearance on 30 September. #Oxford had suspended her as long ago as June, when she was charged, and when she was either still living with #MichaelGove or very recently separated from him. #Gove is an active member of the #HouseOfLords as well as the Editor of The Spectator, for which #Salem was still writing on Friday, 10 days after her hearing, although all trace of her time there has now been deleted from the magazine’s own site. davidaslindsay.blogspot.com/…
