The problem is time lag. one is usually ahead of the other. Used to do it regularly with cricket. So much fun listening to TMS.
I love the sanctimonious greed of some of those trying to prevent free use of various materials on the internet. iTunes, for example, charges $1 a tune. So they want to charge $10 for a collection when their only cost is the fraction of a penny it takes to serve a collection's content to one user. So, in effect, they think all the economic advantages of digital technology should accrue to corporations, and none to consumers, hide behind the fig leaf that they are protecting creators' economic interests rather than their own, and go to court with expensive lawyers to try to make courts see it that way. I would say digital technology has enabled data's innate desire to be free, and that we all ought to accept that, and to arrive at reasonable adjustments.
Thankfully they don't sell much of the music I like. I get it elsewhere - and many bands make stuff available for free. Bandcamp enable you to send a message to the bands. Mike Patton of The Robinsons and Vista Blue (and some other bands too) sent me a free CD through the post from the US. Apple can't match that. F*c* you, Apple
Tbf on that front, we ought to give some credit to Google, who have made enormous quantities of videos and books available for free--and used giving things away to build their empire. But I'm not as big a fan of Google as I seem. And Wagner's music is better than it sounds....sorry, free associating. But while I'm on the topic of great lines by Mark Twain, here's another: "God invented war to teach Americans geography."
Had to check that you weren't talking about the other Mike Patton, as he's done so many different projects.
And I'm guessing that he hasn't done an album of 50's and 60's Italian pop covers, either. Just very, very odd.
Gotta love Ben Stokes. 91 not out, 9 wickets down. 3 minutes later 109 not out and 3 balls having to be retrieved from the crowd.
Half decent total too in the end. Might look a great total if Anderson and Broad bowl like they can in these overcast conditions.
Looks like the saffers are planning to block them out and wait for a change of bowling. 3/0 after 3.3 overs
3 down - Toby Roland-Jones looking like an inspired choice! Brave of Roooooooot to give him the ball after Anderson had had only 3 overs
