To Lancing, there to meet with the willow masters of @Newbery_Cricket, who - in readiness for the mighty deeds that I will be performing this coming summer - are going to be forging me a Bat of Power.
Some might say so, some might say so…
We arrive at @Newbery_Cricket, the Rivendell of the cricket kit-making world…
Beyond honoured to be THE FIRST PERSON IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD to get @Newbery_Cricket’s amazing new #BatBuilder service: the making of a customised & personalised cricket bat.

“Not even top professional cricketers have had access to a product as powerful as this.” #Elite
My choice of bat - ‘Centurion’, what else? - is honed by close analysis of my batting by a battery of @Newbery_Cricket’s Top Experts #Elite
The best day of 2022, without a doubt.

Thank you, @Newbery_Cricket!

We released 4 new episodes of @TheRestHistory this week.

Two marked the 2070th anniversary of Caesar's CROSSING OF THE RUBICON
The second episode took us to the banks of the Rubicon itself. What did Caesar really say as he hesitated before making the crossing?
Then we released two more anniversary episodes: this time to mark 1922, and to explore the degree to which the year stands - as Ezra Pound claimed it did - as the beginning of the modern.
