CC1 Happy Grockles Day!! Glamorgan at Taunton

Welcome to the penultimate CC1 game of the season. it seems today is the day when Grockles users who are not in the vicinity most of the time or work for a living are meeting up at the ground to watch a bit of cricket together. First I knew about it but Yay!! The weather cold be better but we do start almost on time. The clouds are grey and rain is in the air. Somerset won the toss and have put Glamorgan in with Goldsworthy joining the XI picked for Hove in the place of Ball who was in for Shaw.
CC1 v Sussex at Hove

Sussex have won the toss and will bowl first and we are startying on time. No Jake Ball today. Josh Shaw comes in as the third seam bowler and Lewis Gregory will captain. Not sure yet whether he will bowl but one would assume he will. Craig Overton also comes back and Lewis Goldsworthy misses out from the eleven. There was a predicted thunderstorm in the early morning today but the rain has gone away and though it might be a bit moist it is a sunny morning in Hove.
Women's Metrobank v Durham - Last game to Taunton

The Martinelli Fallacy

There's a wonderful line in The Social Network. The character who plays Mark Zuckerberg is being grilled by an attorney over allegations that he stole the idea for Facebook off a couple of twins. And he goes, 'If your clients invented Facebook then they would have invented Facebook'. Or something to that effect.

Komatsu and Atlassian Williams F1 Team extend partnership

It was announced by the Atlassian Williams F1 Team that Komatsu had extended their partnership with the team that first began in 2024. Komatsu has had a long history of supporting the Williams F1 Team reaching as far back as the mid 1990's. This new agreement with see Komatsu join with the team in technical collaborations. Komatsu will become the teams Official Hydraulic Innovation Partner. Komatsu branding will remain prominent across Williams’ assets and environments ranging from the car, driven by Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon, to the garage, team kit, Fan Zones and other partnership experiences.
Italian GP: Atlassian Williams F1 Team Grand Prix Preview

After the frustrations of the Dutch GP, where we saw both Williams cars crash into each other, the Atlassian Williams F1 Team has had two weeks in which to regroup as they prepare for this weekends 2026 Italian GP. Coming off a positive 2025 Italian race where Alex finished in the points it is hoped that the team can come away with a positive weekend, maybe not with any points but certainly with both Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz having uneventful weekends. For the team it is going to be a test of how well they can cope with the issue of energy recovery and tyre management.
Dutch GP: Difficult race for Atlassian Williams F1 Team

The 2026 Dutch GP would turn out to be a difficult one for the Atlassian Williams F1 Team with once again, despite some early encouraghing pace, the team continues to suffer from an uncompetitive FW48. For Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz it was a race that would unfortunately see the pair make contact going into T1 as Alex was trying to pass Carlos. This would see damage to Alex's car which would see him forced to pit. He would be classified as 17th while Carlos would continue to be 16th. Very much a race that I suspect the team will want to move on from very quickly.
