and malcolm nash was the unfortunate bowler on the receiving end of cricketing history. i don't think i've changed my story in 50 years, to be perfectly honest with you. i have no reason to change my thoughts on what i was trying to do. when you play a game against the best player that's ever played this game, all you want to do is get them out. and that's what i try to do and it was five minutes of my life that's been talked about for 50 yea rs. that's been talked about for 50 years. it didn't define my career at all, anything, it made me, it gave me greater resolve. i thought, what have you done? that's it, i'm done with cricket. i met when to pick up another game ever again. but that was not in my nature. ball six, and
10:40 pm
ito was not in my nature. ball six, and i to stay was not in my nature. ball six, and ito stay around the wicket, same action, but which turned out to be an absolute major disaster because that was a half track. world records and everything of been talked about in the first time, as it is red one thing, you could not have done it without me. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more sport throughout the weekend. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
10:41 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are jason beattie, who's head of politics at the daily mirror, and sebastian payne, the political leader writer at the financial times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily telegraph leads with a warning from lord blunkett that labour risks falling into decline and irrelevance unless the party makes a "seismic shift" in response to the anti—semitism scandal. the times claims tax avoiders are being blacklisted by the authorities to prevent them from getting knighthoods and pictures ariana grande performing at aretha franklin 5 funeral at the greater grace temple in detroit. the ft says coca—cola is setting itself up to take on starbucks, nestle and jab holdings in the global battle for coffee sales after buying costa coffee in a £3.9bn deal. the daily mail reports on new research that suggests up to 11! children are fighting for each place at top primary schools. the i says doctors will be able
10:42 pm
to stay one step ahead of cancer tumours thanks to a new technique pioneered by scientists. and the daily express leads with the same story claiming patients will be treated earlier because artificial intelligence will be able to predict how the disease can evolve in individual patients. let's first deal with the front page story on the times. blocked from honours in secret memo between who? between the very secretive people who decide to get the honours. and the times of got this understanding that it the times of got this understanding thatitis the times of got this understanding that it is not consistent with the honour, and that famous sportsmen who may or may not be using entirely
