5 d. ago Australia beat South Africa by 17 runs in first men’s T20 international – as it happened

Australia battled back from a dreadful start n Darwin to win the first of three T20 matches5th over: Australia 60-3 (Green 25, David 18) So the run rate’s up and the wickets are falling. David doesn’t mind the latter, he maintains the former, thrashing Corbin Bosch’s first ball over backward point for four. It was full and wide but David has the reach to fetch what Travis Head couldn’t earlier. Bosch, tall and blond and built, looks annoyed, bowls the next into leg stump, and has David hitting to his outfielder at deep backward. That’s more the plan. No plan is containing Green though, who makes it look so easy slotting another six over long on. He’s 24 off 7 balls! Then races a single. He’s six foot seventy-three but he’s also quick enough. One ball to come, and David drives it over cover for six!Oh boy. Three down and they’re going at 12 an over. The ground DJ is playing Chappell Roan. Hot to Go. Continue reading...

3 w. ago ‘Robin Williams said: “I’ll buy the club!”’: how The Comic Strip set the UK comedy scene ablaze

It started in a strip joint and ended up bringing alternative comedy to our TV screens. Ahead of a new Edinburgh show, Peter Richardson tells us why his riotous creation still makes audiences laugh 40 years onIt was the moment comedy broke with sexism – yet it happened in a strip club.
