The latest kicking of the Associates by the ICC is really making me consider whether I should bother continuing with Cricsheet. Loving a sport where the global authority for it actively works to thwart it's growth in order to appease a few bullies isn't exactly appealing.

Always gives me a thrill when I see a graphic from @crickether.com mentioning Cricsheet.

I (Stephen) wrote on my own site about my feelings regarding Cricket Ireland inviting the Afghanistan men’s team to tour. It’s safe to say that I’m unimpressed. deeden.co.uk/articles/202... #cricket #ireland #afghanistan

Unless I've missed something, the next Cricinfo story about Fairbreak and Saudi Arabia where there is even any mention of it being even vaguely controversial and/or uncomfortable will be the first.

Joining Bluesky (against my better judgement) just so I can more easily follow various cricket-related people, and then them saying they’ll be rolling out id “verification” the next day may mean that I won’t be here for long. You can still find me on Mastodon on social.deeden.co.uk/@cricsheet
