    All purpose cricket thread

    Posted in the covid thread but basically they've been gradually opening up for weeks now. Changes in rules came too late for them to sort out the logistical side for the 1st test. The region has a population size virtually identical to the UK but cases are under 500 a day and deaths in single...

    Kasta Appreciation Society Thread Announcement (KASTA)

    The level we're at financially most signings will have an element of risk, if that risk wasn't there players would be going elsewhere for a lot more money. He's obviously got some raw talent in there somewhere. He's a Dutch youth international at U19, U20 and U21 level. The biggest problem...

    All purpose cricket thread

    Desperately need a wicket here. Resorting to Root bowling himself. Do think he's a bit underrated as a bowler, the downside of central contracts and so much international cricket is he can't get overs in at county level to develop that side of his game.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    They spoke about this on the Talksport commentary in the early hours. Chenai is in Tamil Nadu where they've been relaxing restrictions for weeks now. Technically they could have had a crowd for the 1st test but the change in rules to allow that came too late for them to sort the logistics out...

    Jodi Jones

    Are you suggesting the club, who have invested a decent amount in his recovery, along with the medical staff and Robins know more than a bunch of medical experts on a forum? :ROFLMAO:

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Complete joke of a league. Know its incredibly unlikely but would be funny if someone apart from Saracens got promoted and messed their plans up. At a time they're struggling to get a new TV contract they've just voted to make a big chunk of their games completely meaningless!

    Robins sounding very positive. Says the surgeons reports are good, he's in a good place mentally and working really hard to get back and could be playing again this season. "ultimately he’s a player who could end up being a top player for us". Would say there's zero chance of Robins not...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Worth point out excess deaths and excess winter deaths are not comparable. Is that maybe what is causing confusion? Excess deaths, which people use in relation to covid, is the difference between the death rate now and the average of the previous 5 years. Excess winter deaths is a comparison...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There's been some very irresponsible reporting. I know we're in a clickbait era but surely with something like this it should be reigned in a bit. You see headlines and then read the article to see its one expert who has said something pretty wide ranging but the media have chosen to highlight...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Saw this on twitter and assume it was an outlier but it seems not and the Conservatives are extending their lead over Labour with recent poll putting them 5 points ahead. Can't get my head around the fact that the government seem to be gaining increased support while Labour are falling back.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Couldn't agree more with this. Would love to see post after post on here from leavers highlighting fantastic things that are happening due to Brexit. At the moment we seem to be celebrating anything that isn't worse than it was as an EU member.

    Undercover Police

    That was the gist of what he said. Collecting information and handing it over can help. Arranging to meet someone and streaming it on facebook is a problem.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    In a way you become numb to the figures, certainly to how badly they compare to the rest of the world. I was watching the NHL ice hockey highlights yesterday and they spoke about the possibility of limited crowds returning in the Canadian division in the next few weeks as Canada is starting to...

    Who is Big Dave?

    On more than one occasion I was accused of being a council plant or employee :D

    Undercover Police

    One of the officers made some interesting comments on the facebook style paedo hunters. Basically that while some of them just gather evidence and hand it over a lot of them just want 5 minutes of fame and do more harm than good.

    Supporters forum - 25th February

    Would be interesting to get the breakdown of the data but there's no chance of seeing that, if it even exists. Wonder if its the older supporters, who maybe aren't as up with technology, who aren't bothering. Its a struggle to get my parents to use things like iplayer and that's built into the...
