I remember a certain overseas player with Sussex, who was not out overnight v Australia at Hove. ( 25ish ) He had no sleep that night, being entertained by a young lady. The next day he made 141. You can blame the WAGS all you like but they are not out in the middle giving their wickets away.

1) England have performed well and up to their ability and Australia have underperformed. Luck plays a part and England had their fair share. Root is now the main man and I have been impressed with Stokes. The bowlers have performed better than their Aussie counterparts. 2) The fielding has been...

Two bang average sides who cannot play in each others conditions. If we played Down Under again this winter,we would lose 4-0 or 5-0 again. England have opened with a rabbit and persisted with a struggling Bell, all series. They have lost early wickets all series and yet have won 3 out of 4...

Interesting stats. I suppose it emphasises the fact that we have not had a 20+ a season striker since Withdean.

Sadly, very few in public office. It is a safe haven for the innate perversion that emanates from a certain type of upbringing. i.e Boarding School, Public School, Oxbridge, Civil Service. Self-confident men, who know that the system will protect them and their nefarious activities. It is a...

Well certainly an improvement on the pathetic 44 of last season. The top half of 14-15 looked like this...... Bournemth........98 Watford............91 Norwich............88 Boro.................68 Brentfrd............78 Ipswich.............72 Wolves.............70 Derby...............85...

Doubtful that BZ will reach double figures in his final spell with us ( Been averaging 1:5 over last 11-12 years )

Whatever happened to Marcus Painter?

There are people out there who will look more like Bubbles DeVere from Little Britain, if they try and squeeze into their original BZ shirts. ....." but Mrs DeVere your account is six months overdue "...." Never mind dahlink, ring my husband on 1-2-3....4-5-6....7-8-9. "

....and I forgot to add that a hell of a lot of people who go to the Amex have never seen BZ in a BHA shirt and won't have the same excitement level that others will be enjoying.

Those predicting a sell-out are overlooking two things....1) Its live on tv....2) Its peak holiday time for families....The ' Zamora ' factor will bring in a few extra but 25-26 is what I am expecting.

The point I was trying to make is that all of cricket has now changed and what should be a marked difference between limited overs cricket and Test cricket is starting to disappear. Players are now so hell bent in forcing the pace of a game, they are starting to lose their discipline in playing...

These are two poor batting sides. With the lack of class bowling world-wide, certain players are building reputations that they don't deserve. Wouldn't you just love to be a decent swing bowler in this era. Most of these guys have no judgement what to play and what to leave. Just put it in the...

I do have a problem with Bell....he chucked it away. He was in and set for a big score. It was an appalling shot and totally unnecessary. Two of the three wickets given away.

No interest to Liverpool fans. They spent years climbing walls to get into grounds.

...as indeed did a friend of mine....soaked through, bored to tears and fearing the usual result v Walsall, he turned to me at the half-time whistle and said..." thats it, I'm off.....I'm soaked, pissed off, we are rubbish and as usual, we are going to lose to this lot "...He turned on his heels...

Yes....and all in the first 28 minutes of the second half!

Can't disagree with that. Mellor was pure class and stepped down two levels to join us, lured by Clough and Taylor. The perfect foil for the predatory striker.

On a serious note, rather than just re-hang the classes of 77-83 and 99-05, this is an opportunity for a more realistic portayal of our history. Post War should feature at least Pongo Waring, Tommy Cook, Arthur Attwood and Bullet Jones. 1946-1976 should feature Billy Lane, Eric Gill, Jimmy...

He was from that generation of players that backed their skill against defenders and keepers rather than take easier options. If you look at all top strikers, they are all self-confident. They all have good balance ( the pre-requisite of all top sportsmen ) and they are courageous. Wardy was...
