    cricket 2023

    I thought about that when I made that post. Came in, had a brilliant debut but not enough for this obsession with everything going at breakneck speed.

    cricket 2023

    This is terrible. They’re batting like it’s a t20 when it’s clear someone needs to get their head down and build an innings. Just throwing wickets away.

    cricket 2023

    It's absolute madness. We're struggling in an international tournament in a format the players haven't been playing and when this group of players need to be replaced our current options will be players who have only played 50 over cricket if they were deemed not good enough for The Hundred...

    Cwr supporters forum tonight

    Haven’t had chance to listen yet but going from the comments it doesn’t sound like Robins and King don’t get on which I think has been rumoured before. Also the idea that King was signing players without Robins knowledge has been categorically ruled out by Robins, good to hear.

    Cwr supporters forum tonight

    This is happening at the next supporters group meeting isn't it? Sure Pete mentioned someone was coming down and they'd have a look at the away and and explain why things are the way they are.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Fucking hell 😂😂😂 This just seems completely bat shit crazy. Move to Worcester for a few years where they will not exactly be welcomed with open arms, and presumably run at huge losses as you'd imagine not many fans from the London / Wycombe / Coventry days will bother. Then somehow persuade...

    Accrington Stanley / iFollow Beef

    Looks like the fans have had enough of him as well.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Michael Sheen's Valleys Rebellion on iplayer is a decent watch. Gives an insight into why so many people are politically disengaged, obviously it's about Wales but I'm sure the same reasons for disengagement apply everywhere.

    Cowards

    I think there may be something to this. In our world where we're rarely even spent £1m on a player for years the amounts we've thrown around this summer are huge But in the league overall are those really the sort of figures you'd expect someone to come in and from day one be in 20-30 goal a...

    London trip advice

    I stay at the Travelodge in Docklands when I'm at the O2. Pretty cheap, well for London, and like you say near the observatory. Depending how old they are and if you fancy some time to yourself you could dump them at the arcade / cinema at the O2 for an afternoon and make use of the many bars...

    cricket 2023

    for all the pre-tournament talk of England batting deep and nearly everyone who bowls being an all-rounder after these two you've got Willey, Rashid, Atkinson, Wood and Topley. Not seeing 300 runs there.

    28-3 needing 400 and a huge let off for Stokes. You can clearly hear he hits it but no spike

    Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Oct

    This is getting way off topic but I bought a decent-ish not super expensive (were about £80 I think) pair of wired headphones and they are so much better than my AirPod Pros. Having said that isn't he using the really shit free headphones you get with your phone.

    Sweden v Belgium shootings

    seems that way. amounts to keeping an eye out and if they're arrested for something else or are noticed doing something unusual then action might be taken but other than that it seems pretty much meaningless

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Had this pop up on my feed, not much changes does it. In fact just this week all members apart from the US, UK and Russia voted in favour of a UN Security Council resolution calling for a humanitarian pauses to deliver aid to Gaza, the US actually voting against to veto it.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Anyone watch the doc about the housing crisis on BBC recently? Nothing earth shattering on there but was some interesting insights from people involved in policy decisions and implementation. One of the factors sited as contributing to spiralling house prices was cuts to stamp duty.

    South Africa going along nicely. If England lose this one they're in big trouble, going to be a real battle to get out of the group stage with 5 games left including India, Pakistan, Australia and Sri Lanka.
