    Is Ryton training ground done?

    Seems a no brainer to me. They’ve got world class facilities that are used by visiting teams in various sports such as the commonwealth games. You’d only really need the match quality pitches, which they’ve had to pay for at Ryton and you’re good to go

    They're going to win it with those runs from when Lyon came out to bat aren't they

    Ashes 2023

    That's not a good look tbh. Obv the players shouldn't be getting pushed around but if you look at the footage they went over to the members so aren't entirely blameless Unless something over the line has been of course

    Ashes 2023

    A riled up Stokes is the best Stokes. Keep thinking it can't possibly happen but the target is getting lower and lower Bazball forever 👀

    Godiva Festival 2023

    You can predict the night that's going to be like this every year looking at the lineup. Not sure why they don't consider it when deciding who to book

    Ashes 2023

    It's 100% out within the rules, there's no question of that whatsoever. And it's very poor from Bairstow to wander out of the crease like that So its then down to the spirit of the game which is a pretty hard thing to define but ultimately its down to the Aussies, if they decide to appeal its...

    Lyon was interviewed this morning and said he insisted on going out to bat when everyone was advising him not to

    Bring back Operation Premiership. Back in the day when they used to send you stuff in the post to get you to renew your season ticket I remember one year there was a promise we'd be challenging for a place in Europe 🤔

    Sky Blue Talk - Negative

    Were they not considerably less than that last season? If, and its obviously a huge if, he gets people to renew at an increased price while feeling they've got some sort of victory and a bargain price I'm not entirely sure you could say it was terrible business! Does make me laugh that we've...

    Bazball RIP. This is a shambles hoping for better this evening at Edgbaston

    Ashes 2023

    its a good batting strip still so its not out of the question but need to bat sensibly. Can still go at a rate without trying to smash everything out the ground

    the guy can barely move, get it on target. few Yorkers in the mix and he's done

    Ashes 2023

    Madness that they've got Lyon padded up when he can barely walk. Are they not risking doing a lot more damage to him?

    Not really sure why they've made the quarter finals Thursday and Friday when the Saturday and Sunday are free. Going to be a decent chunk of people who struggle to get time off at short notice. If you've got to let members in free, as welcome as that is, and have tickets only a tenner its...

    Sky Blue Talk - Negative

    Just caught up with days of posts in this thread and even by this forums standards its batshit crazy. The annual 'where's the new kit' and 'why haven't we signed anyone' posts are to be expected, they are what keeps the forum ticking over every summer but some of the other stuff seems a stretch...

    Ashes 2023

    Exactly this, you can play an attacking style of play without throwing your wicket away. There's still points in a test match where you need to pull back a bit and consolidate You could argue England were unlucky at Edgbaston and that if taken a few of the missed chances a win was on the cards...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Russians would be the obvious one. Of course with Farage it could all be complete bollocks, he'll probably have a PayPal up soon asking for donations

    That result confirms a home quarter final right? no idea why they are Thursday and Friday. Very short window to sell tickets and for people to get time off work
