I know it’s tough but this season is a write off. We just have to get through it. On another day today we come away with something, against a side pushing for play offs.

Nige is bedding in the youth this year and I’m all for it. 

Haha!

I thought haven’t seen Andy post for a while. First loss and his fingers are burning…

Pretty sad behaviour.

Inexcusable.

Ban them.

Too easy this.

It’s crazy how Broad and Anderson have lasted this long really. For the past 5 years, they’ve bowled probably 4 of those…

Perhaps the Aussies are just not afraid of our aging attack.

Aus batting again?

The other worrying thing is that Pat Cummins or Josh Hazelwood are not playing.

I’m just sick of this England side. Bored to death of the same mistakes.

Warney can **** off with his crystal ball methods too.

Need a biggie partnership from these two.

Stokes struggling here. 

And here it comes….

We’ll be all out before the end of play.

It is not the deaths !!!!

The hospitals will be full and overflowing with COVID patients, most will recover but they will clog up the system for as you say  -

cancer, pneumonia, heart attacks, kidney failure, brain tumours, car accidents, site accidents, shark attacks…

Truly astounding the amount of people who do not understand this.

It’s a valid point which I understand (makes a change from memes eh!).

But there are talks on here, out there etc of shutting things down again. How far do you go with it? Are we going to have the same discussions every winter?

Where did I tell you what to do?

You've shown your cards, made your point (badly,) and will continue your existence, albeit one apparently devoid of intellectual or emotional empathy.

Get down from that high horse of yours, it doesn’t suit.

This is precisely why I don’t venture in threads like these, it’s political and it’s full of high horse virgins like yourself.

Tada.

As Chris Whitty said yesterday, it's only those who dont understand health who hold the same views as yourself. 

He mentioned and I've mentioned previously that the NHS is geared and swamped by Covid. Its effectively on a war footing to fight Covid and we as a whole cant switch to sorting out other things as Covid is basically rampant in the wild in the UK. Until we have that under control we cant do anything else. 

150,000 cases in the UK in the last two days and that will be well over 200, 000 today. 

I do truly 'get' you want to live your life, however Omicron is one of the most potent threats we've ever faced, Covid or not. 

The likelihood is that if not arrested in its spread most if not all of the entire country will get it, testing capacity will literally break long before we can measure that. 

This time it is very much, take precautions get boosted or possibly kill people. 

I wish people got that more. 

 

Appreciate your point.

I am double vaccinated and waiting for my booster jab, I wear a mask etc. I don’t want to make anybody feel uncomfortable when in public places…

But at the same time we can’t continue to live like this. The world is a depressing place as it is at times…

The media and Gov don’t help the situation either.

Aren’t you the forum clown that said Nige is a bully?

It's neither.  It's a case of people dying where they should not because people are, well, selfish tw*ts.

How many deaths is it with this new variant?

While people are dying of cancer, pneumonia, heart attacks, kidney failure, brain tumours, car accidents, site accidents, shark attacks…

Life is short, I’ll go out and enjoy it while I can. I won’t have you tell me what to do, ta.

It’s not exactly the Battle of Britain out there that people are making out…

If you don’t wish to go, then that’s absolutely fine….if you do, enjoy the game.

We can't bat, but who else is there?

We can't bowl outside of England, leaning on Broad and Anderson, but who else is there?

Root is a bad captain, but who else is there?

ECB need a serious re-think

This is the problem. There are no other serious options…

We’ve got Sunday side spinners and an aging pace attack, but at least our batting gets us out of jail…

The future looks bleak for English test cricket. 

Bit of a pointless interview.

I won’t be going.

Forget emails and tweets, this is the only language they’ll understand: attendance 8,932

I doubt it’ll be that many.

One of the most uninspiring seasons in recent times, we just have to get through it until the summer unfortunately. Like many of said, there’s no point bringing in more short team fixes unless some long term options become available… 

However in January, I doubt that’s going to be the case.

Just going through some of my old school photos, and came across this! I’m the handsome one in the back row ( I’ll let you work out which one I am!). Merrywood 1967-68.

More interesting than me is one of my classmates - see if you can spot him!!!

Is that a young Mick Jagger back row 4th from the right?

Mods - Can we move this thread?

Or bin it.

I could understand those prices if it was Liverpool or Man United….
