Northern Red

Been listening to the online commentary of the Lancs game and the names of the breaks were the source of much debate. They kept calling the first break lunch but acknowledged that they probably shouldn't.

Crane held his nerve well there after being carted all over the place by AB.

Does anyone other than Eoin Morgan consider him an all-rounder in the mould of Stokes etc? My impression was that he's a bowler whose batting is respectable enough, ala Jordan, Willey etc rather than a genuine all-rounder.

Livingstone isn't the reason that Overton has missed out.

Livingstone is an odd one, he can hit the ball a long way but his first class form is better than his limited overs record. He's more likely to be a Test player in the short-medium term.

Vaughan clearly has his eye on Boycott's 'Professional Yorkshireman' role - 'I say what I like and I like what I say',

A shame, but for the best. In the last couple of years in particular, he's clearly been struggling to see the play.

It'd be a minefield of a pitch...

It'll go on for as long as Floyd wants it to.

The build up to this will make Haye v Bellew look the epitome of class.

Groenwald's current figures look superb in the circumstances!

If it's not an error and the judge filled in the card correctly, that's the worst points decision I've ever seen. He had Burnett winning two rounds, which, with the two knock downs, can't even be possible as they're 10-8 rounds anyway. Unbelievable.

I thought it was a fair stoppage. Walsh didn't really know where he was and had to be prompted to put his gloves up in the first instance. Davis's punch power and speed is seriously impressive, he's an unbelievable prospect if he stays on the straight and narrow.

They probably feared a riot if he didn't get that decision. I had him winning it by a round.

Judging from the state of him I think Barry had had a few. Could barely get his words out.

Did you see his eyes when he hit the deck? Completely out for the count. Eggington is brilliant to watch.

Just realised that the girl Adams fought was only 18 and looked about 2 weights below. How does that even get sanctioned?.

I actually don't mind Warrington but can't abide the inbred Leeds ********* that support him.

3 wins in a row for Lancs now despite being nearly utterly shafted by Duckworth Lewis today. I know it throws up some odd calculations, but how does an innings curtailed at 132-2 in 21 overs result in a target of 161 in 18?

It's actually quite shrewd promoting from Canelo's side. Get a PPV that was a terrible fight out of the way and dodge a lot of criticism by announcing the Golovkin fight immediately afterwards. Very hard one to call. I can't see how it can't be a great fight.

When have you ever known a side get a points deduction for a lot of bookings?

Shocked? I'm not. I suspect some of it has been building up for a few weeks.

Up for it like Brentford and Ipswich were too? It's frustrating to finish on a loss but hardly the end of the world.

Meh

Suspect the police and stewards are praying we don't score, or it could get lively.
