Well. My general feelings are that we should have fantasy leagues for everything. All cricket, yes, but also other things such as:
• the met gala
• parliament

live footage of Normal Woman choosing her Fantasy Hundred team. I have no idea if I've made good choices but I sure have tried to navigate a website which seems custom designed to hide Hundred statistics behind as many sub-menus as possible.

Oh wow! Tammy Beaumont scored 118 off 61. Welsh fire set 181 the highest women's total beating the previous 166 set against them last year

The Daniel Boyarin book on the construct of heterosexuality and the Haskalah is both fascinating and enlightening (lol), but also really unintentionally funny at points. One of the subjects it goes into is how foundational Talmudic ideals of masculinity are completely incompatible with, in fact almost diametrically opposed to, Western romantic notions of rugged heroism. And the pre-modern texts that illustrate these paragons of Sexy Virtue, like the guys who by traditional Jewish standards would be considered both unbearably hot and S-tier marriage material, tend to amount to shit like, "Shmuel was pale and delicate and so devoted to his studies that for a whole year he did not leave his quarters except to attend services. He was sensitive and patient and known for resolving disputes with great delicacy, and as legend has it he once got the two angriest dudes in the village to stop feuding with each other and now the descendants of their families are like super tight, wouldn't you know it. His Torah reading skills were CRAZY. At the house of his betrothed he gave a detailed and penetrating analysis of this one really complicated passage and explained its meaning with unparalleled depth and subtlety. Everybody wept and fell in love with him instantly."

i don't want to cast aspersions about how much we actually know about cricket over here but i'm in two fantasy hundred leagues, one with people from here and one with some discord friends, and i'm first in the cricket tumblr one and dead last in the other.
i feel maybe we're all victims of vibes based management @broadys-floppy-hat @giraffeonwheels (i can't immediately deduce the blogs of our other players sorry!)

This has almost definitely run away from Trent rockets already. Tammy Beaumont is having a field day

also quite obsessed with karl being as detached from the story as he is. there's nothing that makes him have to be the detective that has to be involved, but he unknowingly dooms himself by agreeing to work with the KYAL cult. every other detective basically deals with elias head on except weissman, who only meets him right before he kills him. like he's right when he says "by my choices" because everything that leads him to being mixed up with the mannix cult is himself. it's the gambling debts and the choice to do the dirty work for an organisation he knows nothing about. he's the only one that doesn't encounter that body doing police work and it's specifically because he's told to cover it up. he gets himself into the mess and eventually fixes it but the fact that esther always dies in the doomed timelines and he's always too late even if he starts wanting to change things ("till this child. esther.") it just makes me very ill
