Bummer 🏏
WICKET! Renshaw c Tanzid b Taskin 8 (Australia 22-1)
“This #outfield is getting very quick. Head adds four to his total with a nondescript thick edge, then Renshaw leans into the swing into his pads to work a couple of twos behind #square. #Taskin adjusts and moves from over to around the #wicket to the two left-handers and immediately gets his reward!
#Renshaw again tries to work with the angle but closes his bat face too soon and sends a leading edge to second slip! Another Australian #opener comes and goes.”

How’d we go in the cricket yesterday? 🏏
“Right, over to #Australia’s batters, and Matt #Renshaw in particular. With his strong frame, Don #Mattingly sideburns, and no-longer-for-charity dirty mo, the #Queenslander looks like the composite #Australian male 30 year old.”

Thinking about the #MelbourneCup2023 I'm amazed that the racing industry still refuses to end the whipping of horses. It is costing them much of their audience, and it's hard to believe that anyone really wants to see it.
Unlike races between humans, no one cares at all about the time it takes to finish - the winning times aren't even reported AFAICT. #aussport
