  1. No getting away from it, totally mullered by Surrey. 3 second innings scores in double figures was never going to cut it. After Overton, Rew and Abell next best was Extras.
  2. Purely out of interest where was it played. Was it at the Estadi Nacional on an artificial surface?
  3. B the club formerly known as Bristol City.
  4. Is that part of a horse's head in the picture. Did they buy, have stuffed and then paint one of the horses thumped by the family club's mild mannered supporters.
  5. Sadly, what they're doing us more than doubling Somerset's score. Just pray we can somehow rescue a draw against a Surrey side which is head and shoulders above any other side in the County Championship this season.
  6. 4-0 Leeson again and nearly had a hat trick moments later.
  7. That he'll play 90 minutes today and not 180.
  8. Wow! What a shock! A huge talent at a young age in 1979 he became the first £1M player when he moved from Birmingham to Forest. RIP Trevor. Condolences to friends and family.
  9. I hear what you say and I wouldn't necessarily want to play them either but if required why not play them in those games. There are no easy games in the Championship and a test against these sides can tell you a lot about how far they've advanced. Rotherham aside, they're less likely to receive an aerial bombardment from Leicester, Stoke and Leeds and would need to show a lot more than just strength in the air.
  10. The win was all important and England will improve. It's not the CBs that worry me but the space in front of them. Teams have worked out that if they can stop Keira Walsh getting on the ball England are not as effective. The loss of Williamson is huge as with Walsh they operated as a double pivot closing the space for the opposition whilst at the same time finding space with their interplay to make telling forward passes. If Walsh is going to be marked out of the game then another way needs to be found. I'd consider leaving out Hemp or Kelly, getting my width from the full backs and bringing an extra player into centre midfield. Step forward Lauren James in a 10 role, she could scare the living daylights out of our opponents.
  11. Could be if Oxford played last night and they put out a weak 11 this afternoon.
  12. Congratulations Ephraim. Another exciting young player coming through the ranks. Our Academy just seems to go from strength to strength.
  13. Not a known one. I don't think I'd go so far as to call the Gas a fascist club.
  14. Why has Moen Ali just left the field. He didn't seem injured. England really are the worst for players going off for non injury reasons. In such cases I believe you should not be allowed a substitute fielder.
  15. Not for me. There was one angle where I thought it hit the turf but none of the replays were crystal clear and therefore the 3rd umpire made the only decision he could make and gave him not out. Root's reaction also suggested he wasn't convinced he'd caught it.
  16. Johnny Bairstow unlucky to get left on 99 but there were plenty where he refused to take the run so that's how it goes. Great innings nevertheless. Yorkshiremen seem to like batting at Lancashire HQ.
  17. I hear what you say about over rates but over the course of the series England's over rate is lower than the Aussies, although they're both between 12-13 an hour. Personally I've always believed it a disgrace not to bowl 15 overs an hour. An over every 4 minutes should be a doddle. Trouble is there are no adequate in game sanctions to prevent time wasting.
  18. It's a good win and we'll be playing 1st division cricket again next season. Nothing to lose by cracking on for the rest of the games but expect us to be a bridesmaid again with Surrey as the bride.
  19. Should be a good move. I see it's a, season long loan so no call back except presumably January. Good opportunities too for others to move up in our U21 side in his absence.
  20. Magnificent innings from Crawley. Bothamesque in the pace of the innings and better driving than Lewis Hamilton.
  21. Broad gone 25-2. Unlucky against Hants let's hope they can get this one home.
  22. We are not mucking anybody about. They know what the minimum requirement is but they're playing silly bu**ers with their inept bids.
