But it's the batting like it's a one-day game that keeps on seeing us get out cheaply. You would hope with so many explosive batsmen at least one could string something together but they never get anyone around long enough for it to happen.

The development proposal had space for numerous office buildings (17 I think), residential apartments and at least one hotel, but did have two originally. It has since changed because they've not managed to get many of the offices built. The government quango ended up next to the Butts instead...

I've never understood why you can't make a bowler captain. They're the ones with the ball in the hand so should be cpable of knowing where to set a field to how they're going to bowl. Captaincy is mainly about fielding and the bowlers will be prepped on the weaknesses of opposition batsmen...

He may be hanging on, but half the time that's what an opening batsmen is there for. It's still more than most of the rest have done for a while now. Ideally you'd want someone else in in his place, but who do you suggest? Everyone concentrates so much on limited overs because it's where the...

We can't follow on because Aus didn't make 200. You have to be 200 runs or more behind after the first innings to be made to follow on.

So which part of the ACTUAL law does it break? Maybe the wording is wrong, but the law is what the wording states. In that case the law states that only a part of the foot needs to be on the line. Therefore under the laws of the game it'd be legal.

But it must be hard to go from being a regular starter to a bit part. Having worked his way into the team he'll probably be a bit narked he's not in now. But like you I think he'll get his chance.

Our failure to bowl at the wickets for Warner/Labauchagne could well prove costly. We went past Warner's edge so many times yesterday that aiming at the wickets he'd have let through or edged one. They're making us play.

It does make a difference. If you're used to coming in with a ball that's 20-25 overs old and softened up a bit and then suddenly coming in with one that's practically new it's like a completely different game. Yes, he needs to get out of the bad spell but a big part of that would be getting...

All depends on injuries. Next game someone could be out for months and he's back in the team as a regular. But he could end up like Davies if that doesn't happen. With McFadz's age I think to lose Hyam would be a loss long-term, even though MR seems to very highly rate Williams.

His move to three hasn't helped. Especially when you've got an opener who won't last more than an hour.

Proportionally the homeless are a bigger drain on those services. Poor hygiene and living conditions will result in far more health problems and quite often there are issues like substance abuse that takes up more NHS and police time, as well as social care etc although that is largely provided...

I'm not saying he wasn't harshly treated - he most definitely was and didn't deserve to be sacked for a 'big name'. We were playing some very exciting football and I found it a very enjoyable time to watch us. When it worked it worked very well but when it didn't we really struggled but the fact...

Fuck, a duck.

Why did you only stay 20 minutes? I know Birmingham's not that great but was it really that bad!

And there he goes....

No it wouldn't. The law is that 'part of each foot' must be on or behind the line. So a long as even the tiniest part of the heels are on the line it's a legal throw. Like bowling in cricket.

It's really difficult to compare over the years. Like you I have JH as the best because he changed our fortunes so much and led us up many divisions is quite a quick time and completely changed the way the club interacted with the community. He was well supported in that quest though. With...

As I said in the other thread, no they didn't. Friargate has always had space earmarked for at least one hotel since its inception a decade ago. The land and the potential usage has been there all that time. It's been showcased at various exhibitions numerous times during that period so the...

He's made a very good start but it's way too early to be making comparisons. With his really big pace you've really got to make sure we don't over-use him and bring on injuries. Anderson looked a bit wayward early on in his career and Broad can be incredibly frustrating with his over-use of the...
