My innings develops not necessarily to my advantage, as I am bowled first ball.

@AuthorsCC 176/8, needing to hold out for another 9 overs to secure a draw.

@anthony_mcgowan on the verge of carrying his bat with 6*
Oh, & now @anthony_mcgowan is out…
Oh, and now we’re all out.
Cricket: a cruel & fickle mistress…
Sigh…
This almost cheers me up. #Almost
And this definitely cheers me up!

Thank you to @Hutton1864 for a wonderful day!

Heading to @Hutton1864, there to engage in a day of #EliteSport.

@jonawils, Hutton’s totem & star-player, returning there - much like Grealish returning to Villa Park - to play for @AuthorsCC.

Observe with wonder his champion’s breakfast.
He’s now telling me all about his batting average.

Apparently it’s very good…
The Euros have had their moments, so too the Olympics - but for sheer high octane, sporting drama nothing can possibly beat the sight of @Hutton1864 stalwart @jonawils at the wicket, playing for @AuthorsCC AGAINST Hutton CC.

There is, as the commentators like to say, CHIRP…

The idiosyncracies of the early Olympic Games are an unfailing source of fascination.
More on that here...

“I went to Coventry Cathedral not too long after it was rebuilt and I remember the rising from the destruction atmosphere of it. We felt somehow proud that it had not been cancelled as a living spiritual Cathedral.”

My mother emails me about my #MiddleEngland thread…
Thanks to all who recommended this. Settling down to watch it now!
Wonderful to have watched this film after a visit to Coventry Cathedral. What a charming man Sir Basil Spence seems to have been. And what a profound metaphor for Christianity’s relationship to its history he fashioned with his design.

We start our tour of #MiddleEngland in Oxford, where tonight in the garden in Christ Church that helped inspire Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland my daughter’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is being staged. A sellout (so proud!), but there are tickets on the door…
Also an inspiration to Lewis Carroll was this holy well in Binsey, which in the Middle Ages was famed for the miraculous properties of its ‘treacle’ - its ‘healing fluid’.

Hence the Treacle Well in Alice… Image
The well appeared thanks to the prayers of Frideswide, the patron saint of Oxford. The pagan ruler of Leicester tried to make off with her; she struck him blind; being kind, she then healed him. Still he came after her: so she fled to the remote island of ‘Betona,’ aka Binsey.

On 23 August, I will be embarking on an elite #CricketWalk in aid of my benefit: 50 miles in 24 hours, from the site of the first ever recorded cricket match to Lord's.

We have raised £50,000 so far for charity. I dream of reaching a century.

THANK YOU! givergy.uk/tomholland/?co…
If you could find it in your heart to donate, you will be helping the homeless here in the UK, & Yazidi refugees in Iraq.

All donations very, very gratefully received.

(And huge thanks to all who have already given!) #CricketWalk #THBY2021 givergy.uk/tomholland/?co…
Huge thanks also to everyone who contributed to the utterly shameless video above - and especially to everyone at Lioncat Films for their time, enthusiasm & incredible expertise.
