2024 Recap
The 2024 Formula 1 season is done, and it was a far more interesting season than 2023 despite another Max Verstappen masterclass. Max took his 4th title early again, but not without being put under pressure by McLaren and Lando Norris as the season progressed. Verstappen's title...
The 2023 Formula 1 season is done. After a season of utter dispiriting dominance by Max Verstappen and Red Bull, it's time to look forward with hope to a new season that might (please?!) bring us a bit more competition for the top step.
The pre-2024 winter looks to be a lot less interesting...
More of an FYI for the moment for @Bozza
Last night I was browsing NSC on an Android mobile (Galaxy S21). While reading through threads, my browser was freezing and then I would get multiple random app crash notifications start popping up, usually then resulting in Chrome itself crashing out...

Bit of history this morning. Toss is imminent for the first Eng vs Ire Test match, which will be a 4 day affair maximum with 98 overs per day scheduled (rather than the usual 90). Suspect with the heat getting 98 overs in will be asking a lot.
Jason Roy to make his red ball debut for England...
Day 2 of the Aussie test tour of South Africa is now complete. Pleasantly surprised (as an Aussie) to see that we're well ahead. Mitch Marsh made 96 to help ensure we posted a solid 351 first innings, and then the bowling attack timed things perfectly to bowl out South Africa for 162 close...
