    Uncharacteristically bad from Root, amazing what pressure does.

    Still plenty of depth in batting lineup to get home comfortably but someone needs to grab it by the scruff of the neck.
    Profit before people.

Those views will help mold the world due to the status of those students and what they will do.

                                You can now buy the prototype of this icecream in the US:




                                It's actual dairy icecream made in a lab, no cow involved. They grew casein, whey etc. Uses way less resources as you can imagine. Already sold out for now.
                                I guess it's different in that they won't add cholesterol etc.

                                  Im hoping the reason nobody is posting is because of this tennis. Awesome stuff.

                                          Poor Stokes felt sick after that. Glad it didnt settle the game.

                                                              Seems I flicked over to the cricket at the right time. Had it on at 11am this morning. Watched 2 hurling games, 1 football games, walked the dogs, had bbq, watched the tennis and I still missed nothing in the cricket. Takes far too long to have any interest in it.

                                                                              In the instance today however, the ball hit Stokes bat and went all the way to the boundary. Therefore they didn't have the chance to decline to run and the umpire had no choice but to award them four extra runs.

                                                                              Totally freaky incident, I had never seen that happen before today. Literally a 10,000/1 shot and then it happens at the end of a WC final. Sport.

Is it because they're innately bad people because they are black or because Americans are incredibly racist and have invented a new system to enslave black men through targeted crimes? That is WAY (just so many more) more people than Uighers (or gulags, which don't exist anymore).

But watch the new Aziz Ansari documentary - you are a typical example of someone who is too woke to understand why people like you are enraged and miss the whole reason you are angry. It's disappointing when someone smart like you misses the big picture.

                                                                                  Now be sure here - you aren't technically wrong - the Chinese (and the USSR from five decades ago as a bizarre point you also made) - these are very clearly not nice people. But the US is vastly worse.
                                                                                  What topic is this again? How does any of this have any relation to what we were talking about? I mean this sentance in particular is deranged! " you are a typical example of someone who is too woke to understand why people like you are enraged and miss the whole reason you are angry" I am so angry I don't even realise why I'm angry!

                                                                                    (Not Conor McSkanger )

I'd say there'll be some celebrations out around Rush, Lusk and Man O' War this evening (that rare area in Ireland where cricket is the game of choice for the working man).

                                                                                    Some achievement for a kid who had the balls to plot his own course from a very early age.

                                                                                            NZ will bemoan their luck there but Boult was fairly clumsy a few mins early to not keep his feet in play after catching Stokes deep in the field, top class players are usually more spatially aware than that.

                                                                                                                Generally the most extreme cites would be in the top tier professional organisations. UFC, Belator etc. But not necessarily in the top tier within those organisations.
                                                                                                                And as weigh-ins are regulated by the state athletic commissions. The rules would have to apply across the board.
                                                                                                                Although they could make it a blanket rule and police it better on upper tier promotions.
