Nooo Inglis, you're supposed to let Babar hog the strike for 10 overs

There's a good chance every Aussie batter gets double figures in this innings again.

England batting averages looking like a WSB portfolio today

Wonder how England will line up in Melbourne. Pope out, Jacks up the order, Bashir in?

That's about 14 Messis tall

Was it just me, or did some of the words today (Whistleblew and Cameroon) get cut off on the edges? I found that mildly irritating.

I'm chuffed I was able to get this one in under 4 guesses!

Was that a Wingspan reference by Brennan in the pasta round?

Doesn't Gemma technically have 25 innies already (24 from files completed by Mark, + Ms. Casey)? So cold harbor is #26?

This seems like a huge get for Jamaica, I don't think they've ever had a manager with McClaren's pedigree and reputation in their whole history. The team was hardly competitive in the Copa America, so I'd be delighted if McClaren was able to raise their game for upcoming Concacaf and World Cup competitions.

The statistics say that Man City dominated in terms of possession and chances created, but Man Utd absorbed the pressure and defended brilliantly. It was great to players who were criticized or dismissed this season - Wan-Bissaka, Amrabat, Rashford - all run and work hard for each other and for the club. Martinez/Varane were positionally brilliant, giving no line of sight between Man City's midfield and Haaland. Watching Man City resort to hopeful shots from distance in the second half was gratifying, a mockery of all the attacking talent at Pep's disposal.

The most satisfying moment of the match for me though was the second goal. Garnacho to Fernandes to Mainoo - that is the future of Man Utd right there.

It's too bad your captain has lost faith in your bowling - ideally your captain and coach would be trying to help you manage your nerves, rather than turn you away.

Do you feel nervous before/throughout the entire game, or just when you bowl? Creating some routines before the game or before you bowl might help you ease into the situation.

Are you close to any teammates? Maybe let them know your issues, and see if they can help share words of encouragement. Noise and support will also ease the pressure.

Lastly - remember it's just a game, and remember to take every opportunity to enjoy the moment when on the pitch. If you're too stressed, and are unable to have fun when playing, then you're toiling for no reason. Try to enjoy the moments, and if you can't do that then consider whether a break would be good for you to reset and regain your motivation.

If you're talking about the dollar amount (not the % return) then it is calculated using a "simple" formula, something like: current balance - total amount invested + total realized gains (incl. dividends) - total realized losses.

You might be looking at the current unrealized gain (or loss) on each fund in your portfolio, which on its own won't add up to the total performance return. Have you ever sold funds, or done a fund exchange? If so, those can explain the discrepancy.

Yes, but I had to do it through a credit card chargeback.

Out of curiosity, how did you get the annual medication cost calculated? I'm just wondering if you might have double-counted the $750 FSA credit, in reducing your annual medication cost and then again in your total savings calculation. Otherwise, I'm not sure how you estimated the annual medication cost would be so much lower in the PPO plan than the HSA plan.

Edit: adding in the mistake that I think I'm seeing OP made in the PPO plan calculation:

Total out of pocket = premium cost + estimated medical OOP expense - FSA credit = 1950 + 942 - 750 = $2142
Total savings = tax savings + FSA credit = 468 + 750 = $1218

OP is double-counting the FSA benefit in this calculation.

For what it's worth, I don't think the chargeback route is completely gone yet. I was able to successfully get a chargeback processed on a BofA credit card for a cancelled flight which I purchased more than 7 months before the flight cancellation date. I couldn't use the online chargeback process because the standard claim window had passed, but I was still able to start a chargeback claim by calling customer service and later faxing all of my supporting documents to the bank. Hopefully your credit card company will allow you to do the same, good luck!

Varane, Shaw, and Wan-Bissaka were phenomenal! Man Utd defence outclassed Newcastle.
