Because the world is destined to repeat certain events until its inevitable implosion, Stephen Hendry's return to the World Championship in the first qualifying round will be against... Jimmy White.

Will's YouTube channel has been on fire this year, his weekly reports are so detailed and cover so much ground. He hasn't quite convinced me why he needs a merchandise line though.

This. They might even stand a chance of making more by releasing it on D+ now, and then in cinemas in July, the three month gap would almost certainly make people do both.

It's a sorry state when I'm annoyed we're winning, because losing would hopefully mean the end of Mourinho.

SACK. HIM. NOW.

The pitch from the third test has been given an "average" rating by the Indian match referee and Indian umpires, so there will be no investigation or punishment. Meanwhile my club team once got docked 3 points in the league for a pitch that scored 10 out of 20 in the umpires' review.

Genuinely think Lamela may be better at the Rabona than kicking it properly. What a thoroughly undeserved lead. Oh, and now an unfortunately deserverd equaliser.

Very sad, whilst I frequently mocked his uncontrollable bias towards British drivers, specifically Mansell and Hill, there was no doubting he was and always will be the voice of F1. His enthusiasm and ability to generate excitement is something I don't think I've seen from any commentator in any other sport.

It's a bit sandy in Bahrain today.

That was my exact reaction as well. Perhaps they were taking bets on how they could make the Mission Winnow logo even more unpalatable.

What confuses me is how they've said they wanted to evoke memories of the classic liveries of the late 80s, early 90s, and have done so by making a livery that looks nothing like it.

Whilst the rule itself it stupid and confusing, Petr Yan sure is an idiot. Controlling the fight? Best throw an illegal knee to the head to make sure.

Even with Schumey Jr on board, I think it's going to be very difficult for me to wish Haas any good fortune this season with that other driver, that sponsor and that livery.

The pink accents are weird. I like it as a shout-out to the past, but it feels like if they're changing the main colour there's no point in keeping it around when it clashes. Someone on Reddit did a version with the usual Aston Martin yellow accents and it looks much better:

I would say because the ground staff saw how bad England were against spin in the last match, and doubled-down to create an even more spin-friendly one. In the process they made it impossible for their own team to bat on as well. The stupid thing is that if this was a County Championship game there would be fines, points deductions and suspensions handed out left, right and centre, but despite this being a far worse pitch in a far more important match, this is India so nothing will happen.

And 66-6 almost certainly points to this being a two day test match. There's so much talk of it being "thrilling" and "tense" and "dramatic", but I still fall under the category that this is a garbage pitch that makes a mockery of the game.

Sometimes it's safe to say that lessons aren't being learned.

Hey, it can't get any worse. Well, except the inevitable time that KAT leaves during free agency.

And there was me thinking he didn't understand what was going on.

The only nice thing is that this sort of performance isn't a surprise any more, and I have no issue in not watching the rest of it because history has told me nothing will change.

Canal+ have done an animation of Grosjean's crash at Bahrain, showing (in case there wasn't any doubt already) that the halo absolutely saved his life:

Oh they look terrible, but we've been remarkably confident and stylish so far, given the recent performances.

I'm looking forward to seeing which bizarre Red Bull owned entity they name the engines after. Might I suggest "Hangar 7" after their museum in Salzburg.
