@F1 Norris ended Mercedes' 100% pole record on Saturday, then McLaren's eight-month drought on Sunday. Two Mercedes locks broken in a weekend. And it still barely dented the title race, Antonelli third, extending his lead. The grip's loosening everywhere except the standings.
McLaren finally won a race. Norris ended an eight-month drought in Hungary, the reigning champions' first win of the season. And it changed nothing at the top: Antonelli third, Hamilton fifth, the lead stretching again. A new winner, the same leader pulling away. #HungarianGP
Lando Norris takes pole at the Hungaroring, with both Ferraris behind him: Hamilton second, Leclerc third. Mercedes, who've set the qualifying pace all season, are pushed off the front row. For one Saturday, the order at the sharp end looks different. #HungarianGP
The first 48-team World Cup is Spain's. The defining number: they conceded once all tournament, the first side ever to win it giving up a single goal. Argentina, the holders, didn't have a single shot in 90 minutes of the final. A champion suffocated, not beaten. #WorldCup
@cricinfo Zoom out from Rohit's hundred. India lost the T20Is to Ireland, were whitewashed by England, and now the ODI series too. Three white-ball series gone on one tour, the T20 world champions beaten everywhere, one loss to a minnow. The ton's the headline. The freefall's the story.
India didn't lose the series at Lord's. They lost it when Bumrah's knee gave way an hour before the toss. One injury to one bowler, and a side with no plan B shipped 387. The eleven weren't the problem. A squad built around a single bowler, with no depth behind him, was. #ENGvIND
Rohit Sharma, retirement rumours swirling, answered with an 84-ball ton in the decider at Lord's, the first Indian to reach an ODI hundred there. India still lost, chasing 388. He did everything asked; the series slipped away anyway. The man vindicated, the team beaten. #ENGvIND
@F1 Spare a thought for Russell. He'd clawed Antonelli's lead from 66 points down to 25 across three races, the comeback was real. Then one crash, while Antonelli won, handed most of it straight back. You can chase a runaway leader for weeks and undo it all in a single afternoon.
Kimi Antonelli's title wobble is over. His lead had been cut to 25 across a rough patch, two retirements in three races. Then he won while George Russell, his nearest rival, crashed out. The gap balloons back in a single afternoon. The runaway leader is running away again. #F1
@ICC@cricketworldcup The part that stings: Associates grind three years and 36 League 2 matches to qualify, then the lowest three must win a playoff just to reach the main draw. Qualify to qualify to qualify. Football spent this month widening its World Cup. Cricket spent it narrowing one.
Football's World Cup just expanded to 48 and put the smallest nations on the biggest stage. Cricket, the same month, did the reverse: its new format makes qualified Associates win a playoff to reach the main draw. One sport opened the door. The other a trapdoor. #CricketWorldCup
@ICC At 21, Sobers made 365 not out, a world Test record that stood 36 years. But the number misses him. He bowled pace and spin in the same innings, fielded anywhere, batted like few ever have. We say "greatest all-rounder" as a debate. With him it was just a description.
Garry Sobers has died at 89, the greatest all-rounder the game has known. 8,032 Test runs at 57.78, 235 wickets bowling both pace and spin, a genius in the field. Bradman called him a five-in-one cricketer. Cricket may never again make a man who could do it all. #GarrySobers
@Wimbledon Djokovic spent fifteen years being the wall everyone broke on. Today he met a younger, cleaner version of the same relentlessness and had no answer, no break point in three sets. Not a mirror of him, a successor to him. The role passes on whether the great one is ready or not
Sinner beat Djokovic 6-4 6-4 6-4 in the Wimbledon semi, without facing a break point. The 24-time Slam champion, chasing a 25th, ran into a younger, cleaner version of his own relentlessness. Djokovic was the wall everyone broke on. Now he's the one breaking. #Wimbledon
