At the moment Pakistan are going toward a large first innings lead. Doesn't matter how long it takes....ITS A FIVE DAY TEST AND WE ARE ON DAY TWO. There is a huge amount of time left because of England batting like a one-day side and chucking wickets away. After a poor first Test...
Beats me.
Bookies have Birmingham to finish 21st with Burton, Barnsley and Rotherham below them. This could be another 442 special, like their pick of Wolves to win the division last season and us to finish 23rd.
Fine if you like to see shortened Test cricket. Me, I'd just like to see some digging in, with players trying to bat for 4 sessions or more, showing patience and diligence. Root showed how to do it in the last Test but too many of these players get cameo 30's and 40's, which is never going to...
I wouldn't say that it is moving along nicely for England. Losing the first three in the order before lunch is below par. As usual, its rattling along at 4 an over but its loose cricket, as is the norm now. Another Test heading for a four day finish.

Do younger readers realise what this man achieved? He came over from New Zealand and set targets that no living Sussex cricketer has neared, before or since. No woman in the Brighton and Hove area was safe whilst the blond bomber was around. One after another, he...
Pearson has had a look at that squad and decided that he has enough to work with. Likewise Wednesday, Norwich, Ipswich, Cardiff and us....just a bit of light tinkering around the edges. All these teams will be top ten this season.
Injuries are not an old chestnut, they define a season.
Losing 7 regular first teamers for weeks/ months would have derailed any side and Boro and Burnley were fortunate to suffer far, far less. Given the same level, neither would have been promoted.
It surprises me that fans are predicting a...
So I am assuming that you feel our squad is weaker than last season. I am also assuming you are basing this on us suffering a quite ridiculous amount of injuries again. I am also assuming that you expect our form to drop by more than 15-20 points. I am also assuming that you expect the...
Done deliberately.
Sent out at the last minute to limit the potential to forge. At the first home game ( Forest ) they will log all cars and keep that as their database for the new season. Any additions thence will be scrutinised.
The alternative to a monarchy is playing out its self-obsessed soap opera in front of our very eyes and yet many still think a member of the political elite would serve better as our titular head. At least there is an element of transparency about our Royal Family, warts and all. Still, I...
I can only believe that those that keep choosing to denigrate Murray either have an agenda against him or haven't seen him play much. He does have class, oodles of it. He is quite possibly, the best defensive striker I have ever seen. His heading in his own box is superb. He is like a tribesman...
...also easily forgotten is the effort and commitment that the Sikh community put into helping the British fight the 19th century uprisings and mutinies against colonial rule in India. When many British people, particularly women and children were slaughtered by rampaging Muslims. Shoulder to...
