I agree we have produced technical skilful players, but I think as a general rule it is more important in England in that younger players that they are big and strong have a good engine, likes getting stick in, is lightning fast etc. rather than being the most important thing being good with...

That was weird on TMS, Tuffers said he's edged that (he was intimating a very faint mark) and then he said he won't give him out. What is that all about?

Because Andrew Strauss has asked him to bowl.

I have read numerous numbers of your posts and probably think you are winding me up so I am not sure we are going to have a sensible conversation or not but if not here goes, again it comes down to definition of bulldog spirit (all players have spirit par se otherwise they wouldn't be a...

Looks like play will begin at 1215, weather permitting.

I would disagree with that. I think some union leaders LOVE to strike. Bob Crow being an example. 4 X 1 day strikes are planned beginning very shortly over an issue with 1 member! (at any normal company a dismissal of 1 person is a private matter dealt with between the individual, HR and...

I think you are missing my point, I would rather have 11 players with zero bulldog spirit but oodles of skill than a team with oodles of bulldog spirit and zero skill (which is what the U21's and countless England sides over the past seem to have). As in my time this bulldog spirit has won...

Agreed, bulldog spirit has won us.....er one World Cup in 66 at home, before most of us can remember no doubt. So in a lot of our lifetimes this bulldog spirit has won us precisely FA....when even "minnows" like Greece, Denmark, Czechoslovakia have won the Euros at least. Give me a man with the...

Agreed, I have heard the reason why the pension age (for a man) is 65, is that when it first came in the 1920's? the average life expectancy of a man was 66! 1 year of retirement and off you die was the plan. No real expense there. What off course has massively changed in the last 90 or so...

Same as, after they beat us in that 50 over final (can't remember who sponsered it then) 3 or so years ago at Lords and ruined my day. Dominic Dork's a tw*t too. Anyone close to the Rose Bowl? What's the weather like down there? Any chance of an on time start?

So technically poor, roll 2 or 3 passes in the midfield then roll it to the centre back who just lumps it in the direction of the striker, seems to pretty much some up England's attacking master plan, same old, same old. Couldn't watch it after half time, turned off the drivel. Light years...

Labour's 'crime' economically was to spend money that they did not have prior to and during the financial crisis. In any case your argument almost contradicts itself. Labour needed to invest in their 2nd term to overturn 20 years of non investment in these services so you say, but what occured...

I can, when Michael Howard took over from Ian Duncan Smith, continuous criticisms of IDS performances and when Howard took over it was a coup de grace, with everyone backing Howard immediately as leader i.e there had been a stitch up behind IDS' back. It is a bit rich talking about coalition...

Great performance in the field (and especially Ollie Rayner) by the mighty Sharks ripping to shreads the much vaunted Zomerzet cidermen batting line up and then knocking off their feeble target. Next up, it is time to put right the wrong of our only defeat of the T20 season against the...

Peterborough, Doncaster and........ oh go on then Palace.

Villegas 125/1, Bubba 50/1, KJ Choi 33/1. All E/W

Well on NSC Gus has been linked to Chelsea, West Ham, Fulham and even Tottenham (even though the last time I looked Harry Redknapp was in that position). So why not, yes with absolutely no ties whatsoever to Villa and with a sum total of 4 Villa fans wanting him, he has GOT to be going to...

Am in the smoke at the moment and seriously considering coming down. What's the weather like closer to the home of Sid the Shark.

Sitting watching the opening game against Essex last week at half time, I said exactly the same thing as that and lo and behold we defended 175 or so easily without Chad the sh1te. I then reminised about the reciprical game last season where Chad played where you there? His performance in the...

No I don't. I think we are going to lose every other 20 20 game we play this season.
