An interesting bit of parking on Kingsland Road in London last night. A driver being chased by police managed to end up right on top of a metal bollard before running down a side street and getting caught. Today the bollard is unscathed. Don't mess with the bollard @WorldBollard

So proud to see our very own Luke Hollman making his County Championship debut for Middlesex CCC today. Back in 2016, when he was a wee lad, Luke and I put on 211 to equal Pacific's first-wicket partnership record. But he was destined for even bigger things. Go get 'em, Luke!

Breaking: Ed Smith will leave his post as national selector at the end of the month. There will be no head selector. Chris Silverwood will be responsible for selection in consultation with Root and Morgan.

Never thought I'd score my personal best of 188 not out and end up on the losing side, but that's what happened yesterday. Scorecard here: pacificcc.co.uk/display-item…

A wonderful obituary of Martin Woollacott, whose editorials I had the pleasure of subediting. Martin was always a calm and kind presence on the Guardian’s leader desk theguardian.com/media/2021/m…

I’m proud to have played a supporting role (as the non-striking batsman) in this viral video while playing for the mighty @PacificCricket against @londonfieldscc last summer
This is the undisputed sound of cricket. (🔊 turn it up)
