    Problem is ECB and counties have devalued it so much no-one wants to watch it. 50 over competition going the same way.

    It's a self perpetuating argument. Cricket suffering because it is on pay TV yet it's pay TV money that has stopped the game collapsing.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It's part of plan along with this new citizenship rule to create Russian population majorities in these areas.Then they are creating new Lubansk & Donbas situations. Even if Ukraine retakes these areas it's another festering timebomb for the future.

    If the Hundred was a good idea other countries would be copying it by now. There are three "world" championships - Test, 50 over and T20. England do well in those and crowds increase, income goes up. Hundred Tv money never going to be big as the "money" options aren't going to pay big if they...

    America

    How can anyone think it's a sane situation when the best option is to suggest increasing armed security in schools? Does he park a tank outside every school in America?

    America

    Quick fix for those that want to blame it on mental illness but between 20-25% of American adults suffer from some form of mental illness. That's around 55 million people with a mental illness who could own guns.

    America

    Gun crime biggest cause of death in children and adolescents in USA. Same people talking about protecting rights of unborn children are the ones not trying hard enough to keep those children alive after they have been born.

    F1 2022

    Most drivers from comfortable backgrounds at least - a significant percentage from very affluent backgrounds. Plus those that have their seats because they bring in substantial sponsorship/backing. Plus Hamilton has opnions and expresses them on issues outside F1 which often doesn't go down well

    F1 2022

    A lot to do with media coverage and social media differences. Likes of Senna and Schumacher weren't miked up during races.News coverage far more intense and intrusive now days as well so many ofthe stories (and non-stories) just wouldn't have been published as everything was pretty much limited...

    F1 2022

    a few good young drivers that could compete with the right car. Think Norris could be right up there for example. Leclerc can drive (apart from the one occasion) his car has let him down - well in control yesterday until it blew up.

    F1 2022

    After the first race optimism I'm actually a bit disappointed. Have we had a race since then where there has been a concerted challenge at the top - Verstappen 3 dnfs, leclerc 2 dnfs and 1 nursing the car home? For all the talk of competitive racing winning margins of top teams still hugely...

    Red Bull have taken a lot of staff from Mercedes and lost some to Aston Martin. Would be naive to think Red bull haven't discussed Mercedes plans,ideas with these new employees -aston Martin similarly. Ideas and information must move between teams with personnel changes regardless of gardening...

    keep wondering about this and maybe as older bowlers they didn't have so much ECB interference when they were youngsters and developing physically. Over quotas all the way up to u19 cricket etc.

    It's just a recurring theme. Can go back every year on cricket threads on here to see tales of woe about English quicks fitness/injuries. Past 10 years England cannot keep their fast bowlers fit - rotation and rest etc don't seem to help. Too often quicks look to have broken into the Test team...

    Jake Daniels comes out

    Wish him the best. Onus on football authorities and clubs to create an environment in which he can thrive - much as they have tried to do with taking the knee and banning fans for racist behaviour.

    Boxing

    Good fight but again judges very dubious. Bivol won by a bigger margin than that.

    Bayern munich

    Look at the income and wage bill. Smashes the other clubs and ownership structures means outside investors can't come in and level the playing field. But then look at France and PSG - probably same going to happen there.

    It's the picks that are traded - not the players. Each team gets 1 pick per round. These picks can then used as capital to exchange for other picks or for players (instead of our transfer fees). eg Vikings traded their 12th & 46th picks to Lions for their 32nd, 34th & 66th picks. Then Vikings...

    Jets had a great draft but with 3 1sts they should do :)
