needs to kick on this season. woeful in Championship last year. mind you none of the batsmen averaged over 40. Interesting season with a lot of youth in the side

3 games in a row. Complete collapse against spin again - still feels wrong being spun out by a WI side rather than blasted out. So not much encouragement for players being capable of stepping up this summer if required.

Should be something. If you can have a transfer window for players there should be some sort of system to prevent the poaching/tapping up of managers.

strange/explosive mix EVans, Fry & MacAnthony. Mac Anthony would be the 1st person to be bitching out loud if the situation was reversed

Already compulsory annual brain scans & protocols (like rugby) for fighters knocked out/stopped by punches. 2 things need tightening up on. 1. limiting the usage of those fighters who are there just to pad other fighters' records. the 0-10s/20/30s etc fighters who are just cannon fodder. 2...

sound like a real pair of charmers. Papers reporting man shouting abuse at judge calling him a "f**cking pr*k" and that it was a kangaroo court.

doesn't work like that does it? outside the ground is police responsibilty and why clubs won't contribute towards the cost

does strike me as odd the lengths the police will go to to track down some of these "football incidents" away from grounds. Bigger fights/levels of violence on a night in Town generally just see them nicking a couple, dispersing people and then forgetting about it. Often same people involved...

you can look at it several ways. some of the extra costs you refer to apply to the whole site and some to the ACL management company. Key issue remains what did it ultimately cost the council to build the stadium and how did they finance the balance. The whole project cost around 118m - Tesco...

ok then people have to keep the 59m out of the 113m price assumptions. So people should focus on the 54m cost. How a situation arose (even after subsidies & selling further parts to Capri etc) that nearly 40% of that cost was funded by loans?

Don't think the Council own the freehold to the Tesco part. Was sold to Tesco for 42m + paying the decontamination costs 17m. Ricoh cost close to 60m. Relative build costs in terms of capacity & facilities aren't so far apart. Swansea council had owned the land the Liberty was built on already...

Problem is authorities playing catch-up with IPL. What do England cricket players get paid? Ashes stars salaries revealed | Metro News IPL wages blew the rest of cricket out of the water. ECB need to realize to fund these contracts they have to have a successful Test side or TV contracts will...

Stand to be corrected but the difference also comes from how the 2 stadiums were developed. Wasn't Swansea's financed by developing land next to the stadium and not taking on a large loan? Ours was hampered by not having the proper finance in place to start with and the council taking on large...

won't be the last. Used to think people like Holding were exaggerating when they said 20/20 would kill off Test cricket. Cash (and the power it's giving players) usurping cricket authorities. Can't help thinking we'll reach a stage in 2/3 years when there will be another big radical overhaul...

problem is not facing decent spin in domestic cricket because 4 day cricket calender doesn't encourage sides to play/develop spin. Going to uproar this summer when we collapse at home to Indian spinners.

Lack of spin bowlers affects the batsmen as well. Just seen the Lions results on WI tour. Being destroyed by spin bowling.

My bad. But to be fair I ain't searching through pages looking for something I didn't know was there

Maddison running Ipswich ragged. 3 ycs already trying to stop him Turned into a good player - someone's going to take into Prem this summer
