But you don't know if they're good or not good enough until you give them the stern test. And if it is deemed they aren't, why are they here? Sooner or later you have to take the gamble with the kids, otherwise, as I said above, it is a pointless exercise.
They want to compete with the moneybags IPL I should think. For the purists of cricket, this T20 is a circus. Just add the big red noses. But this is the format that will get the crowds and get Olympic status. I went to a Middx v Sussex T20 last summer, on a weekday and 20,000 crowd. That...
Afraid I'm in the other camp that thinks he contributes. Another 15 this season will do very nicely. 17 last season, top scorer, about 4th or 5th in the top scorer chart for this division is good enough for me.
I think you and a fair few others are very unfair on Hemed. He scored 17 last season, what does he have to do to convince people? If he chips in with another 15 whilst Murray is getting his customary 20+, what wouldn't be to like?
Sometimes a non signing can be a blessing. I see Wilson went to Derby, a highly overrated young lad in my opinion. Norwich are stuck with an 8 million quid misfit, unproven. And the result of this game looks good to.
I am firmly in the 'he's off' camp. Hughton's explanation just doesn't wash. I have never heard that sort of excuse before. We're ok, we will continue without DS and do well. One man a club don't make.
I know a lot of people don't really get on with facebook, which is fair enough, but when, like me, you've spent a huge chunk of your life away from your 'hometown' it can be a great way of keeping in touch.
No we can't. We'll get relegated, end up in the Ryman by 2020 and it'll be our left back problem as highlighted very early on by Ben's Grandad. We're doooomed!
Millwall v West Ham
Anyway give plucky Palarse their dues, they've done well as the smallest London club in the Prem to last four years, bless 'em. Perhaps they'll start to build some infrastructure within the next decade.
