So it's not all bad then.

Well, it's such a pointless sport anyway, and if they are striking the poor beasts in the process then I'm with you 👍

It's one of those lovely grounds where you can hear someone shout from the terrace in a quite moment. Oh for an East Terrace comedian like we had at the Goldstone.

Ah, okay. Well if you know about these things then maybe tell me what I was watching. I saw a horse trot on, do a little delighted jig, start walking backwards, then wander of again. Apparently the judges were most impressed. I was wondering when it was starting.

Dressage. The only discipline I watch and then ask when it's going to happen, only to be told I've just watched it I know the Germans always win it. Whatever it is.

Obviously I have only seen Bradman in YouTube footage. He just seemed to have so much time. I was more interested in his conflicts with Ian Chappell. It seems that he was acknowledged for the elite player he was yet very unpopular amongst that Australian group in his time at the ACB. It's a...

I love the way it goes from an attempted Enoch Powell NBC interview to taking your ball home in everyday NSC language. But if you are going to use his language, try not to use haughty verse too much. Powell was one of the best public speakers of our time, whether you agreed with him or not. His...

This is true. And it does rather fly in the face of my 'keeper first' policy. But he was very tidy behind the stumps. But if he is played as a batsman and a keeper brought in, we could go with Allan Knott or Rod Marsh. But Bob Taylor was also outstanding before we get to possibly the best of the...

There seems to be an irony that the USA only won one shooting medal when they have about 150 million potential candidates to choose from.

I agree with that. As for 80s all-rounders, I rated Imran Khan above Botham because he was more consistent over a longer period. The best all-rounder at the time wasn't even in international cricket, Clive Rice. Botham had four golden years at the top before the combination of injury, ego, food...

As a general rule, seeing them play can mean on television. So modern era (although some will go back to the 60s here)

I've spent some time putting thought to it. The criteria being that it has to be players you have seen play. Also consider the balance of the team. My luxury here is that I can bat Sangakkara at three. Not only that, three of my four main bowlers were handy with the bat. This is some team...

Oh, yes. And I think that very few would disagree that those people indeed should be dealt with. Apart from maybe the rioters themselves.

He's not being an apologist for them, and the person replying to you is a remainer and, if I have to be politically aligned, slightly left of centre. Your reply in itself highlights the problem being raised. I have no problem with immigration. This country was built on it. It's important to...

They are. Their own kids. If daddy gets locked up that will be the biggest bonus they could ever have.

When we all agree with the Daily Express, at least we know there are things that can bring us together.

Arundel was always a good festival. It would have been nice to have seen the 50 over games v Herts there recently. The ground does host various matches like A team and MCC stuff, but I don't know why Sussex have stopped the festival. Ironically, Hampshire have played more Championship games...

Aussies haven't been ahead of us since 2004.

'Hello, I am new to NSC. I understand there is a Lady Seagull that can help me. I was on Dover beach and...'

I was concerned about the welfare of PPF. Glad all is okay.
