https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/crk6vrm4x4jo lack of consensus and clarity between the counties just highlights how difficult it is trying to fix domestic cricket.

you're going to be working into your 70s. Some future Govt will play with the triple lock pensions/retirement age etc

Read the criminal damage was put at around 600k. It was a ridiculous thing to do but 4 years is too much. But sets an interesting precedent for these Palestinian Action "vandals" where the damage was estimated over 7 million pounds

Wasn't that the argument for Brexit?

It's 2 out of Derby, Leicester, Northants & Gloucester - probably the first 2. But which ever 2 remain are still going to be firmly tied to the bottom of the pyramid due to finances.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jul/15/hundred-share-sale-saved-six-counties-collapse-cricket-report Nothing we didn't know. Is it not time to reduce the number full-time counties? Might be harsh but would ease calendar pressure, potentially strengthen level of play by concentrating...

"smash the gangs" has to be one of the most stupid ideas - and he should know he was DPP. Has smashed the gangs done anything to control drug trafficking? UK police crime solving is weak anyway plus limited access to Europol records makes it even more difficult. Smash a gang and another one...

Don't be so sensitive. Make your points and stand by them. You made 5 or 6 points about housing issue - only one of which was about population/immigration. All the points contribute to the housing problems one got latched onto.

Smell shenigans. How can Man City be signing a 10 year kit deal worth a 100m a year unless both sides are sure they're not getting relegated or massive pt deductions?

Estimated to be in the region of 3.5 million voters by next general election. As for cohesion it has traditionally tended to be in the 75% + for Labour

Purely based on recent voting patterns - local and national. twenty constituencies with at least 30% Muslim population. 2 of those by the skin of their teeth - vote share from previous elections halved. 2 where if just 1 independent Muslim had stood (rather than 2 or more) they'd have lost...

I reckon we'll see more independent Muslim MPs (double figures) in next Parliament than MPs from the new Corbyn/Sultana/Lynch party. Whether they align with traditional Labour, the new party or form an independent bloc remains to be seen.

Absolutely. was gripped all day. And good Test cricket is the ultimate form of the game

REckon that's the first time since the first Test in India that the bowlers have really won us a game

Thank god for that. Sat on a combine with an old Serbian driver who has no idea why i've made him turn the GPS off on the combine as it is messing with the wifi for some reason. Felt it was going to take something unusual to take that last wicket with the old ball

Now I've to drive from a wheat field in Hungary to one in Serbia before the lunch break finishes!! Hopefully border is open going that way. Does give me a chance to recharge the phone.

That's a beauty from Woakes.
