Lrrr

Big decision it seems for the world cup, pick 2 of Roy, Hales and Bairstow to open

AB de Villiers has signed for Middlesex for the T20 Blast, should be fun...

Is it the proposed film title or the production title? Two very different things

Pretty sure Waltz said he was up for returning? His condition was that Craig was still Bond.

So much for being honourable and paying the fee

Is it a strong WI team though? We read the first pitch wrong, they had the better conditions in the second and in general for the first 2 we were just shit...

Think he donates the amount he gets for representing France to charity, or at least he did for the world cup which was around $500,000

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.

Piss take Leach doesn't get a game when the others haven't been impressive. Also Renshaw signs for Kent

I agree something needs to be done about what the agent did as its shocking. With regards to the club though, perhaps they require the money to make payments they're obligated to make and are relying on that money? Bordeaux are owed half of what Nantes get but they've said they're not demanding anything atm. I probably haven't read everything but to me it seems like the fact he had a hard deadline when he had to be at Cardiff and wanting to have a certain amount of time in France to sort everything, while Cardiff were willing to pay for a commercial flight it was known it wouldn't leave him enough time to do everything he needed/wanted to do in France so in a way forced to private flight scenario, but from there it seems like cost cutting when finding the actual flight, no reason a better private plane couldn't have been used.

As bad as it sounds to say it pretty sure Cardiff only want a thorough investigation on the chance they won't have to pay out. Insurance may cover the fee but apparently there's another £16m potentially tied up in everything. Paying the first installment is almost a case of accepting they will be paying everything.

Was mostly just in the thread I read about money, its a minority but still some saying stuff like was he really their player in a way to say they shouldn't have to pay, one said surely in a time like this the football family of clubs in the premier league can pay the fee given what scudamore got paid, its a tragic situation but some of the comments hit me like they really lacked class. Again will reiterate it was a minority, small one at that and suspect most clubs would have those few people as well.

Some very poor comments on Cardiff's forum given everything that's going on

Shouldn't be a multi use stadium even if redeveloped imo and would be a shame to move from the current ground.

Perhaps, a case of wait and see I guess, it will probably lead to an increase in ticket prices in the stands though and given it was one of the cheaper stands makes Lords a hard to afford venue to attend.

£50m for 2500 extra seats, have to wonder if that money could have been better used.

Still feel we made the right choice, Jos was always going to be an England regular in limited overs, Kieswetter was more likely to be regularly available and occasionally potentially called up it was just a tragic shame was happened to him.

Can we combine the various (having county, england etc) cricket threads into 1, not sure where to put something like this... anyway this is outrageous from Jos as a way to bring up a 50, having an incredibly good BBL.

JOverton, Bess and Gregory on lions tour to India

They should have moved earlier to snap up the footballing genius that is Sol Campbell

Cotts 2/1 favourite on Sky Bet, next out is 11/1 odds. Job for Cotts then...

Oof indeed

Rovers fans saying Clarke did turn down Leeds because of promises of new stadium/training ground, not saying I overly believe them that he'd chose them over Leeds but if there is any truth then oof

Shame on Rovers for getting rid of a manager doing such a great job

The sceptic in me reckons they've changed it for him, surely they wouldn't do that
