Surrey's opening bowler Jade Dernbach. Is 204 enough?
No, I was at the game and Birmingham Bears won it in the final overs
Towards it the end it was looking like a close finish but that late and brilliant catch given Not Out on review finished it as a contest.
I hope you had a great evening there. Watching on television is a poor substitute.
Yes it was an excellent evening, as you say the catch was decisive (and had endless TV replays). The fact we were in with some very boisterous Bear fans only added to the atmosphere. Night
There is some speculation that another networked, multi party IS attack in Western Europe is due over the next few days.
Trumpton.
Pay attention to Mitch McConnell, the GOP Senate leader. There are reasons to believe he is in the key group considering how to oust Trump.
There is speculation about an IS attack almost every week, only today there were attscks in Belgium and at Buckingham Palace. What is new?
McConnell is despised by the GOP base and ultimately they elect the candidates, if he tries anything before the midterms expect a bloodbath in next year's GOP primaries
An interesting cricket fact is that the striker can only be run out off a no-ball if he or she is attempting a run. However this doesn't apply to the non-striker. The reason is that the striker has a genuine reason to be out of his crease other than running, which is to play a shot. On the other hand, the only reason for the non-striker to be out of his/her crease is to run. What this means is that if no ball is called, the striker hits the ball straight back down the pitch, it flicks the bowler's hand, hits the stumps at the non-striker's end, and the non-striker is out of his/her ground and not actually attempting a run, he or she (the non-striker) is still out, paradoxically. They are deemed to have been attempting a run by definition, even if they weren't actually doing so and were just being absent-minded, dawdling, etc.

Not really surprising. There is a tendency for non-strikers to drift out and down the pitch a bit in order to get a head start when starting a run. If they'd stayed within their crease then they couldn't get run out under this method. Being absent-minded isn't an excuse many umpires would expect to take into account!
It's like fishing with dynamite on here these days.
Drop a stick of Brexit over the side, and all the dead "retweet"ers float to the surface where you can haul them in.
Maybe not very sporting, but passes the time...
Who's bothered about Brexit except for people who'd waste a year getting worked up about it rather than admit defeat and move on?
I'm bothered about Brexit because I have no idea if and under what conditions my customers in Germany and Luxembourg will be able to trade with me after March 2019! I know it's all theoretical for some, but it's very concrete for me.

It really is a shame the EU doesn't want to talk trade, and instead is making totally unreasonable demands about ECJ jurisdiction.

What is a shame is that we'll no longer be in the club of countries whose citizens could trade with one another with the minimum of bureaucracy. And it wasn't the EU that chose to walk away from this, it was the UK.

More to the point though, my customers have no idea if they'll still be able to trade with me after March 2019. They are, understandably, going to be looking for new service providers if there is no clarity before long, and I'll be, basically, fucked. One less exporter of British services.

If the club was only about 'trading with one another with the minimum of bureaucracy' I doubt we'd have voted to leave.

No need to be coy. Perhaps you can explain what we're gaining that will make up for the fact that sole international traders such as myself are likely to go out of business as our customers switch to other service providers within the EU. Hopefully it'll be sufficient to pay my dole money.

Yeah, that would have been a landslide remain victory.

I don't know your business, but surely its good business practice to diversify your customer base? Why would your customers switch to other providers - presumably your cost to them has become more competitive with sterling's devaluation?

Harvey, approaching Corpus Christi, Texas is Category 4. Of course most people who die don't do so from the wind, but from drowning, in their cars.
