Admin phantom Posted January 16, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Interesting story I just found Victoria State Governor Lina Dessau suggested that the Marylebone Cricket Club sell Lord's and "build a new multi-sport stadium with the proceeds," according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. Recent plans showed that Lord's is worth a "conservative" £2.5B ($3.4B) for residential housing "if sold in 25 parcels of land." The listed pavilion and main pitch would remain, "allowing low-key and ceremonial matches to be played there." With the "massive proceeds," the MCC could spend £500M ($680M) purchasing land elsewhere "for what would be the fourth Lord's cricket ground." Around £1B ($1.3B) could then be spent on building an all-purpose, 45,000-seat ground with a retractable roof, with £1B left to distribute among the MCC's 18,000 members, who would each receive around £50,000 ($67,986). Some members of the Lord's establishment have been in favor of "examining such a blueprint," including former Chair Michael Jenkins, who died in '13, and West Indies 1975 World Cup-winning captain Clive Lloyd (DAILY MAIL, 1/1). MCG GETS 'POOR' RATING: In Sydney, Peter Lalor reported the Melbourne Cricket Ground "copped a public shaming" over its highly-criticized pitch and has been instructed to fix it after being officially rated as "poor" by the Int'l Cricket Council. It is "very rare for a wicket to receive a poor rating" and it is understood to be the "first time it has happened in Australia." The venue is facing penalties which include a warning and a fine of up to A$20,000 ($15,663) "given together with a directive for appropriate corrective action." A repeat of the poor rating would result in the country's largest stadium being banned from hosting test cricket for 12 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 The coach needs to go. Root needs to insist on being a bigger part of team selection or just give captaincy to Stokes Farcical that Jennings is back in. Shows they are in disarray with selection. Not sure why but they seem to have made up their mind that Jason Roy isn’t even worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Stokes is c&b and leaves the pitch. The delivery is reviewed - it’s a tight no ball. Stokes is recalled........I’ve never seen a player recalled like that before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can be recalled as long as the next ball hasn't been bowled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 New batting coach too perhaps, Ramps can do one after his criticism of county pitches hot helping to find top order batsman, especially after England ignoring the best middle order batsman in the county game for almost the last decade.
