Its not doing the basics that drives you mad. That's 5 drops now, you aren't beating Australia with that. Interesting stat from CricViz "England's pacers have taken 3-33 at 11.0 average with deliveries hitting stumps compared to 3-298 at 99.3 average with deliveries missing the stumps". You...

Think officially it takes a week or two as everyone involved has to sign off on the minutes being published. Unofficially you might get some bits and pieces from Pete.

Desperately needed those couple of wickets. do England have it in them to tear through the tail? If we can and limit them to a lead of around 100 that would be a success from where we were. But then relies on some sensible batting from us in the 2nd innings.

This game would be a lot fairer if Australia would try and hit every ball out the ground and throw half their wickets away

I'm sure Trumps targeting of Somalians has absolutely nothing to do with his weird obsession with Ilhan Omar, the representative for Minnesota. Must just be coincidence that she happens to have been born in Somalia.

Your number 11 being the third highest scorer of the innings is probably a sign that the team haven't managed this innings properly

Add in a couple of others throwing their wickets away, should really without too much trouble be looking at another 150+ runs which would take them over 400. That would really give the bowlers something to work with. Hopefully we've got enough on the board and / or the Aussies bat like us...

Really happy for Root. But he does seem to be the only one in the side who knows when to go for shots and when to be sensible. I don't think anyone is saying to totally abandon bazball but they need to learn there's times when they just need to reign it in a bit and not throw the bat at...

Or maybe it will all be over by the weekend :ROFLMAO: Away from the test the county game seems to be heading for some big issues. Middlesex want to cease to be a members club as a first step to moving away from Lords and there's a weird rumour that The Blaze (Notts white ball side) want the...

Might actually get to watch some cricket at the weekend!

good to see you approaching it with an open mind

It's 10% I think. But that raises the question of how you calculate maximum capacity. You'd want to make that 10% of available seats so you can deduct the number of seats we can't sell on the balcony and any taken away for segregation. There's also the get out of a lower allocation for safety...

1st December, whack the ads up to maximum to pay for Christmas

Stokes showing a great understanding of England supporters frustrations at the pre 2nd test presser "Australia is the best country to tour away from cricket. There are so many things to do. You can go out and about and see things that only Australia has to offer, great golf courses, coffee...

He was in Australia and was running a session with the England Lions, at the invite of Flintoff, a couple of weeks ago so its very sudden.

Former England cricketer Robin Smith. What a player, absolute joy to watch him batting.

Yep, the supposed nationalising of rail is nothing of the sort. They aren't even attempting to do anything about the ROSCOs and little more than nothing about the failing infrastructure.

I don't think that's old fashioned, I think thats normal. In the larger scale UBI trials the percentage of people not working doesn't shoot up. Most people want to work and contribute to society, they just want to feel what they are doing is worthwhile and be adequately rewarded. Now a lot of...

this story is pretty nuts. the regulator cut several services, essentially because they are incapable of running the service on time. it seems they didn't think to check with anyone how that would work in practice. what they actually created was a situation where the train, as well as the staff...
