In no other team sport, let alone another form of the game could you get such a long, drawn out duel. If it was a limited overs match a third of the bouncers would have been called wide, Archer would have been through his overs and Smith wouldn’t have had the time to bravely fight through that unrelenting barrage.
Test cricket is the pinnacle of human civilisation.
You can find a recent interview with me here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odJIo078ZoE in which I describe a bit about the situation and my work in Syria.
At the moment I am working mostly for a campaign called #riseup4rojava which aims to drum up grassroots international support for Rojava and unite people across the world in opposing the invasion by the Turkish armed forces and their islamist proxies.
In between interviews, videos, and writing articles we are also working on civil defences to prepare the city for ground invasion. We are stocking up on food, fuel and water, repairing equipment, building barricades and training people in first aid.
We have been under intermittent artillery bombardment and are regularly watched by drones but so far the ground attack in my city has been contained at the border by local Kurdish and Arabic units of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). While we hope a peaceful solution can be found soon, we are expecting and preparing for urban warfare in our home town.

Everything seems to be in Dutch and / or German. What is happening?
I kid in the title, but it seriously blows me away how we have so many intricate and interesting characters that we abandon every season...
Rasputin online from warmind, literally promises to watch over and protect again... misses the building of an actual fortress on the moon next door... Osiris, an expert on vex and their entire shenanigans? not aware of the black garden threat or vex invasions... ASher Mir, an expert on vex also never contacted or mentioned..
I wish we would get an expansion or season where the storyline interacts with people already in the story and flesh them out some...
I started watching porn when I was around 10 yrs old, started smoking by 16, drinking at 17.
It has been over a decade since then.
I quit drinking cold turkey, just up and quit, it wasn't pleasant at first, but after 3 years I have never even had an urge, ive seen lots of bottles, been to parties and I never touched it.
I tried to quit smoking, that was hard. I started with a friend cold turkey from 20 a day. Didn't last long but we eventually managed 3 months clean. Im now on about 1-5 a day. Still trying.
I recently tried to quit porn. I made it 4 days. Since then, a 3 day, a 2 day, but mostly struggling to get a full 24 hours. I understand other people may struggle more with other things but for me, porn by far THE hardest addiction I have tried to quit.
Good luck to all of you, and for those of you who are struggling, let's make this OUR day 1.
