With the US Senate about to start the Trump impeachment process the latest tally has the ex-Presiden
With the US Senate about to start the Trump impeachment process the latest tally has the ex-President surviving – politicalbetting.com
My guess is that we will be checking back to this graphic in the Washington Post a fair bit in the next few days as the process to impeach former President Trump starts in the US Capitol building – the scene of the Trump inspired riot just 34 days ago that left five people dead. Each red block in the chart represents the view of a GOP Senator with yellow indicating position unknown. The Blue blocks are Democrats.

2.5 on the exchanges against England was an insult.
What a spell Anderson has bowled here. Sensational stuff.

That ball to Gill was something else. Batsman on 50, playing shots, looking in no trouble at all, bowled all ends up like a tailender facing Malcolm Marshall.
As you said, sensational.
But to clean bowl a well set opening batsman with an old ball is really quite unusual. Normally their defensive technique is good enough to block the stumps once their eye is in and the shine has gone.
Absolute steal.
This is an astonishing stat. Not that it saved him.

Thanks for the post, Mike.
Spin bowling is a strange thing, and English spin stranger still.
He does bowl a mean cutter, too.
Kohli has looked in no trouble whatsoever so far. Quite the contrary. As long as he’s in, this match isn’t lost.
Time for a full constitutional convention to get rid of the current load of rubbish - the electoral college, the current impeachment, the second amendment and radically change the presidential line of succession.
But it will never happen, partly because the Yanks are blind to the poor quality of their constitution and partly because too many vested interests in Congress will never allow it.
Even in glass-half-empty world, this is a nailed-on victory. England would have to boob on an heroic, hitherto unknown, scale in order not to win from this position.
And the remarkable Kohli could even win it from here.
1. Enjoying the match, a rare overseas win coming up.
2. Taking free money off naive Indians ramping the hosts on Betfaiir.
Trump's comeuppance will come in the courts. Where partisan lunacy has no influence.
Bless - we haven't even got started yet. Our government insisted on full 3rd country status without knowing what that means in practice. As an example, should this store want to buy McVities Chocolate Digestives, a Veterinary certificate is needed.
These are the standard 3rd country rules that we demanded - seemingly without knowing what they were. We could of course reopen negotiations - so that we are able to send things from one part of the UK to another part of the UK. But to do so would be treason or whatever. So instead we will enjoy "this is what we voted for" and "stop attacking our Brilliant Brexit" etc etc
But Kohli is an extraordinary player. Surely, with due respect to Tendulkar and Gavaskar, India’s finest ever batsman.
He comes across very well as a person too. We’re lucky to live in an era when the likes of him and Williamson are playing and fully committed to Test cricket.
As you say, it's pretty much unfixable because of the high bar for making constitutional changes, it would take decades at a time when no-one can see past their own next election.
What is interesting is the determined disinterest of Biden in the White House. He is determined not to be distracted by this from dealing with Covid, the economic carnage it has caused and trying to sort out the mess that Trump left behind. He may also be seeking to hint that this really should not be a partisan thing. But it is.
"Saturday 13-17 February: 2nd Test - India v England, MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
Wednesday 24-28 February: 3rd Test - India v England, Sardar Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad
Thursday 4-8 March: 4th Test - India v England, Sardar Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad"
Hopefully the most severe aspects of the lockdown might have been lifted by 8th March. The cricket will keep me going until then. 🙂

That’s pretty impressive.
We'll have a new ball just after tea, if we haven't got the job done before then.
If enough Republican senators did that Trump could be Impeached with just the Democrat votes.
As an implausible example Salmond could be reappointed leader of the SNP tomorrow

Edit: probably disappeared now.
The technology and review system has made them up their game too, having every mistake you make called out immediately in front of a large crowd and TV audience sharpens the mind somewhat!
But Kohli is still there...
It also shows that the standard and the integrity of umpires is so high now neutral umpires are no longer quite so important as they were in the days of the infamous Peter McConnell.
Stokes gets in the swing now.
Gill was amazing, but that was even better.
Kohli had looked in no trouble at all.
Good reflex catch on the rebound.
Now for the ferret...
Listening to the BBC 'commentary' and looking at the feed, it's really like a real County game. Long conversations about ships and shoes and sealing wax, with an occasional remark about the cricket.
Edit - oh! Well that’s all a bit weird.
Edit: or not!
I like that sentence, so I’ll type it again.
England are about to beat a stronger Indian side, in India, than the one that beat Australia in Australia.
So England are obviously a far better side than Australia...
BBC cricket correspondent on The Cricket Social
It's like W.G Grace, the wind has blown it off. Oh, wait, it has. What on earth made the bail fall off? I'm assuming it was the off stump which was ripped out twice by Anderson this morning and it's left a bit of a hole. The stump has rocked back. What an incredible thing."

Well, India have three areas to work on before the next Test.
Their batting, their bowling and their fielding.
And still no Jadeja until the third test...
Congratulations to everyone who bet on England, was clearly value and India were ridiculous at 10/1 for a world record score.
6 consecutive wins for England.
No idea when that last happened, if it ever has.

Objective and not at all partisan, following in the high tradition of Independent SAGE.
Commissioners: Uncle Tom Cobley, and all.
F1: cars start getting revealed in a week or so, then we have testing a fortnight later(ish). Then a couple of weeks, I think, until racing.
Will likely put up another pre-season ramble, perhaps after testing.
Always trust a Yorkshireman, especially one for Dore.
And wholeheartedly agreed.
(On that score, I note Laxman was again lavishing compliments on an England player - this time Anderson.)
