    cricket 2025

    Need to look at the record since beginning of last year. 11 wins 9 losses. But 6 of those wins are at home to W Indies, Sri Lanka & Zimbabwe. About 6 of those losses were pretty much thrashings. We can't bowl good teams out cheaply and have often relied on individual batsmen. Bazball can look...

    F1 2025

    It's still a magnificent race track. Good drive from Norris. Thrilled for Hulk - particularly from where he started on the grid.

    Could be a belter this afternoon. 6 cars in contention, maybe some wet weather and it's Silverstone.

    Refering more to the rights extension (lock-in to 2028/29) rather the initial launch.

    If they throw Archer back in next Test and he'd have bowled less than 20 overs of red ball this year. ECB got themselves in a mess and it's pounds over performance through financial necessity. Sky hasn't helped as they've done the same by "forcing" ECB to pursue the Hundred.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    So Musk is going to throw his toys out of the pram. He throws 275 million at selected campaigns the 2026 election (like he did the 2024) and he could do enough damage to switch both houses.

    Yep. Seeing again England can't bowl on flat wickets. But this cricket is brainless. You've got to get through 15 -20 overs of the new ball then it's a batsman's game. Then you can bazball to your heart's content. But the bowling is so poor. That first session day one was decent and they didn't...

    batting out the draw is a win. Attempting anything is ridiculous.

    Piss poor from the tail there. Just a question of how brave India will be with the declaration after last time

    Again how does it take three years from arrest to charge? No wonder some women don't go through with cases or drop them. Being badly let down.

    New ball was doing a bit. Different umpire and woakes could have 3 wickets day one (Inc 2 before lunch both clipping the stumps so umpire's decision)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's early days yet - not even 24 hours. Sitting MPs will wait and see how the Govt agenda is progressing. But another battle like the Welfare Bill could see some movement. There's going to be those on the left of the Labour party waiting to see how much influence they can exert on policy on the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    People said the same about Farage and Reform after Brexit went through. New group provides a rallying point for those further to the Left. Starmer & Reeve could find themselves facing similar issues to the Welfare Bill where they struggle to get their programmes through.

    Little chance of being "major" party but capable of attracting significant support amongst certain groups eg 18-24 year olds. Corbyn still more popular than Starmer with some large Trade Unions. Greens get around 2 million votes and still perceived primarily as a single issue party. This new...

    Will be interesting what support they can garner. Early polls seem to have them at 10%. Initial reaction would be how they could impact marginals like Reform did for the Conservatives. Hard to see them having an impact like Reform though. But a headache for the Govt if Corbynite MPs jump ship...

    This is like a "traditional" English bowling performance in India. Don't seem have a clue how to take wickets.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Every political party in UK has a target group(s) that are responsible for the bulk of problems - can be immigrants, business, trade unions,wealthy, over-educated, under-educated, nationalists and so on. Reform aren't going to win an election on immigration alone. All parties legislate to...
