A team whose ownership structure has not made the most of the free agency system up until this season. Lost a lot of good players to it and not recruited well through it. Recent championship challengers have usually used free agency to to get them there maybe none better than the Pats until this...

Not a huge market or nfl would have put a team there already. 10 teams in cfl , average attendance around 25,000. Main difference is 3 not 4 downs

Clinical. Not a great Sri Lanka side but still one that beat South Africa and Pakistan. Never easy overseas but spinners have been a real surprise. Hopefully keep faith with Burns and Foakes.

Intense performance. Payback for Ireland after they should have beaten them last time but before some very cynical foulplay from All blacks that led to post match bans rather than red cards from memory. Can't see anyone touching them in 6 nations.

Even Anderson 1st ball reverse sweeps for 4 :)

Poor use of reviews coming back to kick England - that's Ali and now Rashid that could have beeen overturned.

Root century. Aggressive knock. Comes off a hero, falls cheaply a villain. Could be a match winner. Commentators on about a declaration - not sure why still 2 days to go.

so 6 down - all to some form of the sweep. One thing being aggressive/positive but not convinced there is the need for the reverse sweep on day 3 of a Test. Just leave the ball alone. Yes the sweep has brought runs but when it's responsible for all the wickets to fall. It's the 2 wickets reverse...

It's a friendly. Nowhere near a full stength side and most players will be getting 45 minutes. Absolutely no problem with Rooney getting a proper send-off. Always had his critics but few players worked harder for England or wore his heart on his sleeve when he played for his country. Let's be...

Seem to remember one of the Liverpool sides in the 80s being nearly all non-English players. Lot of Scots, Irish Welsh and Grobbelaar & maybe Johnston (Aussie)

would be amazed if he lasts long enough to start the Ashes. The flaws against anything but spin just too obvious

Alec Stewart and a few others have been talking him up as a batsman rather than a bowler for the future. Probably not going to be quick enough to be just a Test bowler in most conditions and lack of height isn't going to help - only about 5.8/5.9

Think there's something about Burns that could develop. Gotta wonder how a player that can't handle pace or swing gets into a Test side as an opener - Jennings

still a mindset of certain batsmen that they have to try and hit their way out of trouble rather than grind it out. Just not appropriate on these turning wickets. Game unlikely to go more than 3-4 days when you see them spitting of the wicket as early as the 2nd over. 240-250 possibly a decent...

i know Welsh players currently counted same as English as they don't have their own separate professional league and there are professional Welsh clubs in the English leagues.

New rules to limit overseas players to 12 per squad Not a bad thing. Should encourage more opportunities for young English players?

Moved back to LA. Pitch issues. Pretty embarrassing for Nfl.

Going to find out a lot more about the Saints with their run-in - panthers twice and the Steelers.

Unchanged side with Stokes to bat at 3. Good calls. Keeping Foakes and moving Ali. Wait and see on Stokes at 3

actually meant watched vikings, Seahawks and Packers games and didn't think they're as good as their record suggests. Good but not great.
