Next time you mention that farce on this thread, I sincerely hope that you will be banning yourself. Mind you, I spend my time on here being nice to folks, so I do need the potty mouth, abusive release once a year. I save it for Crodo's Hundred thread. I don't mind one infraction a year. They...

Oh my word. Yes it is who I thought it was. He was a splendid chap. I remember him from many away games in ancient times. I never got to know him well, but he had a really warm nature and friendly aura about him. Never took himself seriously and was always good company if you found yourself with...

:lolol:

That was the famous tied match. He also went straight through the Sussex batting in the JPL match that Sunday. I remember watching it on the box.

Mainstream social media is only a reflection of other forms of media. As toxic as it is, in many ways it has weakened and made other forms of media more accountable. Given folk the right of reply. Mainstream social media isn't the problem. The lack of values and standards in society is.

I'm going to use Derek's passing to shamelessly promote the Primary Club, a cricketers charity that provides support to visually impaired sports folk. Derek was a patron and huge supporter of the cause.. https://www.primaryclub.org/ Membership is open to anyone who has been out first ball at...

Utterly gutted and quite shocked to hear this. He did as much away from cricket as he did in cricket. He was still playing when I first started listening on TMS, and still for Kent for a few years after that. The sort of autograph the starry eyed cricket youngster would cherish and a...

A familiar bell doth toll.

Otele me that's a joke

The alternative, of course, is that these clubs are not looking at De Zerbi and it's all made up in the usual rollerball way.

It does rather surprise me. He's the classic old English donkey. Mike Hendrick type player. I thought he would love these conditions. The mistake that some Aussies make over here is misjudging lengths. I don't know if that's an issue for him. I remember when McGrath first turned up and got...

Well, this really. Life changes and evolves as do priorities. I'd be relieved that my whole week doesn't revolve around the weekend match. It's placing happiness in one basket. As for sport, I probably spend just as much time on the cricket threads here. As for Albion, it's more about the...

I'm sure there was a match recently (Glamorgan were one of the counties involved) where a huge defeat occurred after a massive first innings total. Although Adelaide 2006 is the one I can't get my head round.

Absolutely, when we were 92nd in the Football League I was always thinking it could be worse. We still had plenty of Bovril and the cheese and onion crisps weren't stale that season. 'They’ve done a great job, but to say it’s because they are so well-run..' a slight contradiction in that line...

Well, despite our season seemingly ending with a silent fart, I can't help thinking that Albion could have a surprise up their sleeve for City.

Aston Villa look like such a competent team. They always know their opposition. I've not seen Arsenal looking so devoid of ideas.

Some of us have managed thousands of posts without using inappropriate insults, and only insulting in jest, It can be done.

Four sunny days, a Kookaburra ball, lack of quality spinners. It could happen on some of those flat tops.

Just logged back in. I very, very surprised they are still batting there. The weather tomorrow is not looking good at present.
