    @crucial It is not rare in the UK for employers to take an interest in their employees personal social media accounts.

    My guess is that there is a line in an ECB contract that is along the line of "a player must ensure that their personal social media accounts reflect the values and aims of the ECB and support our views that Cricket is a game for all, as well as our obligation to our sponsors."

    I suspect the announcement of the investigation is a holding statement as the ECB wait to see if there is more bad publicity for them from Ollie Robinson's social media accounts.

    All a shame when the guy is obviously a fantastic bowler. There was pain and regret in his voice during his sincere apology yesterday. I hope the ECB can find a way to stand by their player.

    I understand that for while in their employ but unless it is made clear that they expect you to sanitise or delete anything old it's a bit rough. Geez in most countries you don't even have to declare criminal records for most things past a certain point.

    I'm not going to pile into MN5 re his or her opinion on Nicholls' innings, suffice to say that it was just what the doctor ordered.

    On Day 2 he needn't do anything different either. He can just bat on and let the likes of Conway, CdG and Jamieson throw the bat at the other end. If he faces half the balls on Day 2 and scores at the same pace, he'd be on 140 or so and the others combined might score at 5 an over which puts us on 560. If he picks up the pace even marginally and the others score slightly quicker also, we've scored 600 at Lords.

    Plus I had the feeling that of the two batsmen in the partnership he was the one getting under the skins of the Poms. The bowlers were all 'he's not even trying to score so that removes our options'

    Why does Conway's bat sound like it's made of aluminium?

    The pitch mic sounds off the bat were odd

    Don't think it was one mic at one end though. All of Conway's shots sounded tinny or like there was a slight crack in the bat. The other bats sounded normal.

    When I was watching, before I fell asleep, they all sounded awful. Latham's sounded the worst.

    @crucial I've seen UK job application forms that ask for the details of any social media accounts that you've used in the last ten years and remain open to public view.

    Looks like Robinson did sanitise his account but forgot about deleting replies to his then mates from 2012/3.

    Yeah, that's fine (as long as they don't want your TSF handle).
    But that's for their due diligence. If they still employ you and something ancient is then brought to light is that your fault?
    However, if they do employ you and the contract states that pre-employment SM is grounds for discipline then fair enough. It's up to you to do some purging.
    Then what about things found on wayback engine?
    I probably have some appalling stuff in the pre moderated TSF days.

    The Daily Mail have found some racist and sexist tweets by Ollie Robinson (from 9 years ago when he was 18) that the ECB won't be happy about:

    Ollie Robinson's racist and sexist tweets emerge during debut

    Fucking hell, we're setting ourselves a pretty low bar for outrage these days aren't we.

    Imagine having to read through that many years of tweets to dig for dirt.

    I was going to suggest that someone had this lined up for him from years ago just waiting for the chance. But @sparky 's reply makes as much sense. (BTW #nobooboo πŸ™‚ )

    I wouldn't drop Taylor from this series or the final, though I think there are some broad parallels in his recent form to late career Ponting possibly starting to show.

    Regardless, I think he will get to finish his career on his terms.

    Conway is absurd. Everything looks so easy for him

    Amazingly ( well, to me at least ) he’s the twelfth BC to get a ton on debut. That seems like an awful lot of players !

    1930 - J E Mills - 117 vs England
    1965 - Bruce Taylor - 105 vs India (took a 5 wi as well, only time in Test history this has happened)
    1973 - Rodney Redmond - 107 vs Pakistan
    1988 - Mark 'Paddy' Greatbatch - 107* vs England
    1999 - Matthew Sinclair - 214 vs West Indies
    2001 - Lou Vincent - 104 vs Australia
    2002 - Scott Styris - 107 vs West Indies
    2010 - Kane Williamson - 131 vs India
    2013 - Hamish Rutherford - 171 vs England
    2014 - James Neesham - 137* vs India
    2017 - Tom Blundell - 107* vs West Indies
    2021 - Devon Conway - 136 vs England*

    Only one all timer on that list, possibly two.

    Just to take the list on a slightly different tangent on the stats, just looking at those who have got a 100 at lords on debut it is also a short list.

    1893 - 107 β€” Harry Graham (AUS)
    1969 - 107 β€” John Hampshire (ENG)
    1996 - 131 β€” Sourav Ganguly (IND)
    2004 - 112 β€” Andrew Strauss (ENG)
    2007 - 126* β€” Matt Prior (ENG)
    2021 - 132* β€” Devon Conway (NZ)

    Im glad you added the exception otherwise I would suspect you're a cyborg πŸ™‚

    I do remember as far back as the Ganguly game interestingly another famous Indian also debuted in that match (at no 7) ?

    a virtual chocolate fish for anyone who can guess correctly without google?
