A great 2day match vs Buxted Park U17s this week! Anhad Sheikh starred with 155* & 37, supported by Dexter Duthie (70). We declared 278/4, then bowled them out for 229 (Viraaj Malik 6/76). Set 210 to win, Buxted chased it down with 7 wickets to spare - Ralph Treherne unbeaten 76.

How might we resist the pull to frame resilience as an outcome, state, or attribute — rather than a process that unfolds, whether the outcome is +ve or -ve? Please read our new essay — led by @Sydney_Uni PhD researcher @KyawMyatThuu — saying: "analyse it as a learning process!"

The Sudan crisis has reached a tragic milestone. In the last 600 days, 3 million people have fled, seeking safety in neighbouring countries. Families have been torn apart and people are living in fear and uncertainty. An end to the fighting can no longer wait. #KeepEyesOnSudan
