Momentous events in Syria this morning. The 54 year rule of the Assad family appears to be over, with rebel forces taking to state TV claiming President Assad has fled Damascus. The prime minister has said he will hand over power to the opposition and has called for elections.

A reminder to retweet freely during the #AUSvIND Test. Liking won’t help others see things you enjoy over here, you have to retweet (or ‘repost’, if you insist) to boost the good stuff.

It took 13 years to build a following of nearly 300k on Twitter, and that reach was really useful for charity stuff and so on. It will take a lot of time to replicate that here, but I'd rather that than have to endure a daily hate-fest. I'm capable of scrapping in one, but It's just not interesting

Nothing to me better signals the shift of the tough boys of cricket than the sledge from Starc to Harshit Rana, and what followed yesterday. “Don’t forget I bowl faster than you. And I have a long memory,” went Starc with bat in hand. 2 balls later Starc was gone, unable to handle a bouncer fm Rana

This pitch has definitely become much more placid. You could almost be forgiven for thinking that the ICC secretly installed a completely different pitch overnight. Somerset are going to get docked SO MANY point for this!
