Aren't they in that notoriously rainy city Perth?

I think Australia might be in trouble in this test.

Looks like a declaration when Kohli gets his hundred? The man at the other end is playing a different game.

I agree about Kohli - I think he's had a terrible year, hasn't he? He must be close to retirement though. Amused that after receiving a short ball from Rana, Starc advised him that he bowled faster than Rana and had a long memory. Not quite Devon Malcolm's "you guys are history".

A few apparently reasonable nominations (okay, there's a billionaire pro-tariff guy to run the Treasury, and a Heritage wonk for another job, and a motivational speaker/ex-footballer to run Housing, but they're not actually corrupt as far as I can tell). Then you hit the return of the odious...

Yes, lots of districts per state, 435 in total who vote, plus 6 non-voting reps from DC, Puerto Rico, etc. I don't think they cross state lines, as it's the state who draws the maps. Many of them gerrymandered into tortuous shapes - here's one in Maryland a few years ago: I've heard it said...

good bowling on a pitch that's giving the seamers some help.

2 in 95 minutes is Leachian. Looking at the India innings - all but the last one caught behind the wicket, I think (last man out hitting out). Tavare got a commentary mention for a two man catch - diving slip got a hand to one and effectively palmed it to the next man.

I saw Tavare and Fowler grind out completion of centuries at the Oval vs NZ - almost exactly the same speed, and matched by Allan Lamb. I remember it being sunny, and the excellent Hadlee bowling, but not much else. Cricinfo suggests under 200 runs in the day.

Was he? He's made an epic 1 so far in over an hour.

seamers' paradise? No easier for Australia it seems, with Bumrah being Bumrah.

Google will find what was said fairly easily. A Times podcast - Uk should end feud with Musk, and then look to use any bridges to make nice and see what can be gained. Asked if that included Farage, he said yes. Mandelson is thought to be in the running to be ambassador to the US - I'm not...

I don't think it's been every week, but more than the Greens I would agree with. However, it's irrelevant. People who want to ask questions apply, and some of them are selected. Maybe Reform MPs always apply so they can do some performing.

he's had a fun couple of weeks though - elected to the House, resigns to dodge the report, got nominated for AG, withdrew from the nomination. Next stop - senator for Florida by appointment from de Santis when Rubio becomes Secretary of State?! I also saw that the House could refuse to accept...

Not really. I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition...

Gaetz withdraws for AG consideration.

I saw something about that - it means his transition team can't go to federal offices, they can't be briefed (he can), all those calls with foreign leaders are on private lines and have no records. Also, standard protocol is for the FBI to vet appointees, but he's doing it through his own...

Musk and Ramaswamy in the WSJ: Too much spending and regulations has become detached from the people. Examples (and the "" is a direct quote). 500m to Corporation of Public Broadcasting 1.5b to international orgs 300m to "progressive groups like Planned Parenthood" Planned Parenthood is the...

That one does - it's from today, and isn't one of the citations I looked at. However, I see your link suggests it might be sold to Brazil so maybe the lack of crew is the main issue. Presumably a fair amount of stuff would have to be removed before sale, so it's a good thing it's in dry dock...

In a development that i'm sure will help, Mad Nad is back with another book about the Conservatives and is immediately banging on about the deep party wonks who got rid of Johnson and put Sunak in, and re-raising comments that slate Badenoch. I wonder who she wants to be in charge - Jenrick...
