If Joe Root and England are to succeed in Australia this winter, David Warner claims Joe Root will need to “take the surfboard off his front leg.”
Warner, 38, is visiting England for a month while working with London Spirit in The Hundred, and he couldn’t resist making a gentle dig at former Ashes rivals.
In the late November Ashes, England will attempt to recapture the urn for the first time in ten years against Australia.
Joe Root, an England batter, has yet to record a 100 in Australia, is the big anchor, according to Warner, who is on BBC Sport.
Josh Hazlewood “has his number frequently on hand quite a lot,” he says. He will need to remove his front leg’s surfboard.
Warner, who retired from international cricket last year, will make his Hundred debut on Tuesday against the Oval Invincibles.
On August 14th, he could face Root’s Trent Rockets at Lord’s.
Root has never scored a century in Australia, making him the top Test batter in the world and essential to England’s chances of winning the Ashes.
He has been dismissed by Australia’s seamer Hazlewood ten times in 18 Tests, fewer than the 11 times that Australia’s captain Pat Cummins and India’s bowler Jasprit Bumrah have done it.
Warner asserted that “it all depends on the bowlers.”
“They will enter the game if the English bowlers can change the top order in Australia.”
In The Hundred this year, veteran bowler James Anderson could face off against Warner. The Spirit play Anderson on August 11th, with Anderson having been chosen lately by the Manchester Originals.
When asked about the possibility of facing England’s record-takers once more, Warner responded, “They are 2025 white cricket balls, not 2018 red Dukes.”
It will be a little different, they say.
England requested the 2018 batch of Dukes balls because they anticipated Anderson’s and the hosts’ other seamers’ anticipated more movement from them during the 2019 Ashes.
Warner hasn’t forgotten that Anderson suffered an injury four overs into the series, which ended up being tied at 2-2.
He “probably won’t be able to seam it around corners like they normally do,” warned Warner.
Warner will make his first appearance on English soil since the Ashes’ final day in 2023 when he plays on Tuesday.
Despite his troubled history with the English-supporting public, Warner was applauded off by the crowd at The Oval that day before the ball changes, bail swaps, and Stuart Broad’s finale.
That touched me, Warner said.
The supporters of cricket in England, who adore the game, are credited with doing so.
“We have always had our challenges and battles as individuals, but what English supporters do is respect players who have played for a long time. That was very significant.
The Spirit won the tournament’s other three seasons by placing seventh or eighth, but they did so in 2022.
In a rematch this year, Warner will play for another Australian, Justin Langer, the former opener who took Trevor Bayliss’ place as coach.
“I am aware that Spirit hasn’t performed as well over the past few years,” Warner said.
“It would be awesome for me to project some intensity and energy into the group.”
It’s about the fans and the young people who are coming out to see us, not the player or whether there’s been a little history.
Lorraine Stanley, a former EastEnders regular, has revealed that her forthcoming wedding to Mark Perez will be “low-key” and involving just one of her former cast members.

Former EastEnders stalwart Lorraine Stanley – who played Karen Taylor, the lovable yet perpetually dishevelled mum on the BBC soap from 2017 to 2024 has lost 6½st over two years, and has never looked better, as she opens up about tying the knot this month. Lorraine, who has nine-year-old daughter Nancy with her fiancé Mark Perez, shares her excitement about her Big Day with her partner of 12 years after a two-year engagement, including a very special guest – and the adorable role for her daughter, 9.
Opening up excitedly about her impending nuptials, the telly star says: “Yes, it’s very exciting! I’m getting married to my partner in a ceremony local to where we live in Hertfordshire. It’s going to be low-key. From my EastEnders gang, Danny Walters is coming. I wanted them all to come, but we’re just having a small, intimate wedding at a church, then a pub with a tepee and barbecue.”

Nancy, the couple’s daughter, could also make the jaw-dropping entrance to the ceremony, according to Lorraine, who acknowledges that she is also the one wearing the “big wedding dress” or “flower girl dress.” Really, that’s modest. But I’m so excited. After dating for 12 years, Mark and I just felt like a long time.
She goes on to explain why the pair decided to make the announcement after so many years, saying, “We’re just in a really good place. Every couple goes through its ups and downs, you know, but we’re happy because it feels right. I wanted his surname, but Nancy requested that we get married, even though I know some women do not. Mrs. Perez is what I want to be. Given that we both have different surnames on our passports, I was asked if Nancy was my daughter after spending a few trips abroad. However, love is at the center of everything.
Eplaining their special chemistry, she confesses: “We’ve got an understanding, we respect each other. We give each other space, we’ve got our own lives. He’s the best father. He’s in marketing, so nothing to do with my world, though I think he could be an actor – he can be quite dramatic at times!”
It’s not the only big event coming up, though. Lorraine turns the big 50 next year, but says she won’t be doing anything crazy to celebrate the milestone. I have the wedding this year so…. no, I won’t have a big showbiz bash. We might go to Disney World Florida. We’ll see.”
Helen Hand, a skilled makeup artist, said she wore a radiant product to keep Lorraine’s complexion glowy, and that she abides by a simple rule.

Helen, the makeup artist, gave Lorraine Kelly an anti-ageing advice.
The makeup artist for Lorraine Kelly’s makeup shows a makeup trick that can take years off of one’s appearance thanks to a myriad of skincare and cosmetic changes that can help you look youthful. The dewy complexion of Lorraine was the subject of a fascination.
Helen Hand, a makeup artist, shared her top hints for avoiding looking dated with the ITV presenter. She used the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation, which is currently on sale at Boots and reduced from £52 to £44.20, to create a soft glow for Lorraine in the YouTube video.
She continued, “I always believe that having a good head of hair does make you look young.” And yes, it used to be said to “cut your hair as you get older,” but it no longer does. I always use the word “soft,” so keep it that way. As we age, you can use any color of makeup, but keep everything soft. It’s ageing if it’s difficult.

A fresh, lightweight emulsion with a formula that claims to protect and hydrate the skin all day, the Chanel Les Beiges foundation contains over 40% of water. Smooth skin has visible pores filled with the polymer, which acts as an emulsifying agent and reduces blemishes and fine lines.
Customers can look online and find their match from the selection, but Lorraine chose shades B30 (medium shade, neutral undertone) and B40 (intense medium shade, neutral undertone).
The foundation has a delicate, silky texture that resembles a second skin by forming a layer that is invisible to the eye and barely noticeable to the touch. “Good coverage without drying out mature skin,” one customer said. The best substitute since Channel’s discontinuation of Vitaluminier is this. I used to use retailing for a lot of years.
Fans were interested in learning Lorraine’s secret to a radiant complexion.
However, a customer disagreed and claimed that the Les Beiges foundation “does not have the luminosity of your old one.”
Another shared the dewy appearance, saying, “Natural radiance in a bottle.” This foundation and the natural appearance it gives have been my absolute favorites. Depending on how you apply it, it can be adjusted to fit your needs with just your fingers and even more so with a brush. However, the skin won’t ever feel too heavy with this. My skin care routine is this, but people frequently ask how beautiful my skin looks.
Skin care enthusiasts who want a skin-like foundation with coverage will enjoy Chantecaille’s Future Skin Oil-Free Gel Foundation. It is highly regarded by famous people like Lisa Snowdon, and it typically costs £83. Shoppers can save 25% by using the BEAUTY25 discount to lower the price to £62.25.

Coca-Cola is not the most widely consumed soft drink in the world, in fact, there are very few. Inca Kola, a beverage that is almost 100 years old and deeply embedded in Peru’s identity, holds that position.
Joseph Robinson Lindley created the yellow soda to evoke the magnificence of the ancient Inca Empire and its reverence for gold. In 1910, the British immigrant had left Doncaster, England, to travel to Peru, where he soon established a drinks factory in a working-class district of Lima.
He gradually expanded and started making small-batch carbonated fruit drinks. With its secret recipe of 13 herbs and aromatics, Inca Kola, which was only a year before Coca-Cola’s arrival in the nation, was established in 1935. Lindley made an investment in the budding television advertising sector to promote Inca Kola after realizing the threat posed by the soft drink giant, which first launched in the US in 1886 and spread throughout Latin America.
Inca Kola bottles with their vaguely indigenous motifs and catchphrases like “the flavour unites us” were popular in Peru’s multiethnic society and its Inca roots.
Andres Macara-Chvili, a marketing professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, claims that it promoted a sense of national pride. One of the first brands in Peru to make a connection with the concept of Peruanidad, or what it means to be Peruvian, was “Inca Kola.” He claims that it addressed Peruvians’ perceptions of diversity.
However, brand awareness was increased by the beverage’s appeal to Peruvian identity or its distinctive flavor (some people describe it as tasting like bubblegum, while others identify it as being similar to chamomile tea). For a different reason, Inca Kola would rise to prominence in the midst of a global war’s turbulence.
Coca-Cola and Inca Kola bottles are stacked side by side in a Lima store refrigerator.
Finding a way to boycott a wartime event
Around 18, 000 contract laborers were sent to Peru by Japan at the tail end of the 1890s. The majority of them traveled to the developing sugar and cotton plantations in the nation. When they arrived, they were forced to work long hours, have unsanitary homes, and live in crowded, dirty homes, which eventually led to fatal dysentery and typhus outbreaks. Many of the Japanese laborers remained in Peru after their four-year contracts were over, moving there to open businesses, most notably bodegas, or small grocery stores.
As their local economies and economies grew, they established their own savings and credit cooperatives, which denied them access to loans from Peruvian banks.
According to Alejandro Valdez Tamashiro, a researcher of Japanese migration to Peru, “money started to circulate among their community, and with it they raised the capital to open small businesses.”
The Japanese market was a formidable merchant class in the 1920s and 1930s. But that also sparked hostility.
Anti-Japanese sentiment had begun to wane by the middle of the 1930s. The community was accused of espionage and having a monopoly on the Peruvian economy in the wake of World War II, according to nationalist politicians and xenophobic media.
The second-largest Japanese community in Latin America was present when the war broke out in Peru in 1939. More than 600 Japanese families lost property in the year following one incident of racial-based looting and attacks against the community that resulted in at least 10 fatalities, $6 million in damage, and six million dollars in property loss.
Inca Kola had been widely sold in the primarily Japanese-owned bodegas since its release.
Coca-Cola, its main rival, exploded into great success after the war. The US company, which had long used political connections to expand abroad, has since lost its standing as a representative of the US government.
Coke is now at the center of the US military effort thanks to lucrative military agreements that guarantee that 95 percent of the soft drinks sold on US military installations are Coca-Cola products. Coca-Cola was depicted in wartime photographs of soldiers drinking from glass bottles.
Coca-Cola stopped selling its soda to Peru’s Japanese merchants, whose bodegas were already one of the main sources of the US carbonated drink, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941.
The Lindley family doubled as the main soft drink supplier to the harmed community after being given a business tacks opportunity to increase sales. Coca-Cola’s exit left no room for the small, Japanese-owned bodegas that were forming a sizable distribution network throughout Lima.
The Inca Kola brand was firmly established by the Japanese-Peruvian community and the market as a result of the wartime shift, which established a stronger foothold.
During the war, there was more hostility toward the community. A deeply US-allied Peruvian government hosted a US military base along its coast throughout the 1940s, suspended diplomatic relations with Japan, shuttered Japanese institutions, and launched a deportation campaign against Japanese citizens.
Despite this, more than 300,000 people in Peru claim Japanese ancestry, and Inca Kola is a staple on the menus at the nation’s Asian-Peruvian fusion eateries.

Taking on a giant before joining forces with others
Coca-Cola would eventually fare just fine with Inca Kola. After decades of trying to contain its main rival, the company was saddled with debt by the late 1990s.
The Lindleys sold a 50% stake in their business to Coca-Cola for an estimated $200 million in 1999 after suffering significant losses.
You “were the soft drink that fought head-to-head with this enormous international corporation,” the statement read. It was unforgivable at the time, according to Macara-Chvili. These feelings are less intense now than they were yesterday. It dates back to the past.
Coca-Cola, however, granted the Lindley Corporation the right to keep domestic ownership of the brand and to keep the brand’s bottling and distribution rights in Peru, where Inca Kola continues to be associated with regional identity in recognition of the soft drink’s regional appeal. Coca-Cola sought a deal that wouldn’t force it to replace a local favorite because it couldn’t completely defeat the brand.

Stevie Nicks, the face of Fleetwood Mac, has been forced to postpone a number of tour dates after her shoulder fracture.
The 77-year-old singer-songwriter Edge of Seventeen made the announcement on social media by releasing a statement to fans, revealing that some of her tour dates had been impacted, though not all of them. The singer’s statement read, “Stevie Nicks’ scheduled August and September concerts will be rescheduled due to a recent injury that has caused a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time.” Taylor Swift’s engagement rumors surfaced as Travis Kelce’s lock screen was spotted by fans.

Stevie made the announcement in an online statement.
Further details will be made available at the time of purchase, the statement continued, and ticket buyers are advised to consult the list of rescheduled dates. On the new date, all previously purchased tickets will be honored.
On Wednesday, October 1st, the Portland, Oregon, concert schedule will resume. Steve apologizes to the fans for the inconvenience and anticipates seeing everyone soon.
Then, following Stevie’s Instagram post, an image of the unaffected tour dates, which will start on October 1st, was shared. The list of rescheduled tour dates was displayed in another image.
The singer will now play in Toronto on November 15 instead of August 15, and perform in Detroit on October 28 instead of September 7. She will also play in Paint Paul on November 12 instead of August 19.
Brooklyn will play on November 19 and Boston will play on November 24; Cincinnati will play on November 30; Columbia will play in December 3, Tampa will play in December 7 and Hollywood will play in December 10.
Initial plans for the singer’s tour to begin in August. The star’s fans eluded the comment section to wish them well. One person said, “Sealer be quick and secure, goddess.”
Stevie! Added another. Rest up, please. For ten years, I’ve tried to see you. And a third phrase, “Hope you’re feeling better soon, here’s to a quick healing” was written. Other fans later admitted that their “heart skipped a beat” before reading the statement.
“Jesus Christ, my heart skipped,” one confessed. A heart attack occurred near Damn. Someone place her in a salt circle and wraps her in bubble wrap.

The announcement comes after it was revealed Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie as a pair have the only studio record to have their work reissued for the first time. Buckingham Nicks is the only studio record ever. Stevie and Lindsey were asked to join the legendary rock band despite not creating any commercial success.
Since guitarist Lindsey was fired from the band once more in 2018 due to unfavorable circumstances, the former pair haven’t spoken since, though Mick has previously stated that he’s eager for Stevie and Lindsey to put the hatchet to rest.
The drummer, who helped found the legendary rock group in the 1960s, once said to Us Weekly, “I always have a fantasy that Steve and Lindsey would pal up a little bit more and just say it’s okay for them both.” But our careers have been so incredible.
Before Christine McVie passed away in November 2022, Mick had intended to reunite the band.
The seasoned musician has struggled “to find direction” since Christine’s passing, but he continues to be optimistic about collaborating with another group in 2026.
Mick said, “I miss playing as much as we used to. I’m hoping that some band will say, “Come and play with the drums” or something in some way next year. So I always enjoy working on albums that I might tour with next year. Not Fleetwood Mac, I don’t know, [but]
