    Bit of a contrast in approaches. The Test world champions going to India on those prepared pitches and looking like they'll win a series.

    not sure I've seen a more confident City side than this Lampard one.

    Again England's bowlers struggle to put 2 innings together in a Test match. With the current mindset they'll probably see Head's innings as an affirmation of that their batting approach can work. Biggest criticism is that there are no shocks about the pitches or how Australia will bowl but there...

    That Dutch dnf was massive for points and not his fault. Start is massive with Max looking to really pressure him. Still a track that should favour the Red Bull but a podium ahead of Piastri would put one hand on the title. Wouldn't be surprised to see another Piastri mistake.

    That's why Root is the key wicket. He's got to bat his normal game and let the others get on with it

    Bowlers done great - if this is to be a low scorer with not many overs more chance to squeeze an extra Test out of the quicks.

    Home office figure for illegal immigrant accommodation 2024/25 - so that's not the total cost.

    could depend on what shape AJ is in. 4 weeks until the fight isn't long. AJ looks sharp in training and wouldn't surprise me if Paul picks up a mystery late injury. On paper it's straightforward - Paul hasn't fought anybody, couldn't knockout a pensioner etc. Joshua is probably done as a genuine...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Democrats had access to /control of the files for 4 years. If there was something really damaging to Trump in them surely they would have released/ leaked it when they had the chance?

    Yep. Wasn't concentrating ( much like most of the players in the warm up game). Rest of it applies though.

    This team has the ability to do well just needs the brains. Got to get through the first 25-30 overs of the Duke ball without losing too many wickets then capitalise. Quicks have to be able to bowl with discipline particularly after the 25-30 over mark. Has to be a big improvement in the...

    Seems to be a constant theme from recent overseas tours that we don't prepare properly with games against local opposition. Touring sides to England nearly always have preparation games against some sort of Lions team. I'm a lot less confident about this Ashes series having watched some of the...

    Don't get having a warm up match against the Lions. Is Root bowling 14 overs for over 100 runs just to protect the other quicks?

    Albon and Gasly are also talented drivers that coudn't drive the Red Bull. Danny Ric basically walked because RB had become so heavily focused on Max. Tsunoda got the 2nd car because Honda paid RB a big chunk of cash. You'd think Red Bull would get drivers from their junior teams into Max's old...

    Think people are being a little harsh on Lando. He's upped his game and driving much better than he did at the start of the season. Stopped the silly mistakes, stopped letting Piastri push him around on starts and most importantly qualifying better. Also it's obvious Red Bull have improved...

    Strange driver Norris - that Dutch retirement looked like it had finished his challenge. Still think his major weakness is his starts and lap one driving - something Verstappen excels at and Piastri had been very good at. Puts himself in bad positions that he struggles to recover from - that...

    Thought that was a good race (apart from the VSC). There's a lot of driver talent out there.
