    No play today, umpires have called it. Forecast is better tomorrow, 2 days to get 19 wickets.

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    Good to see WMCA and CCC talk to each other to make sure they aren't both working on the same thing!!!

    Very rough figures and obviously it could take months / years to have the data properly analysed but it looks like around 10% of excess deaths are under 65. Are you suggesting deaths of anyone over the age of 65 are acceptable? Life expectancy in the UK is over 80 years so drawing a line at 65...

    Which is why you need the opposition to highlight it and give a viable alternative. This idea that Starmer can hold off until everything is over and there's an enquiry is a joke. Already see Conservative voting friends, who are far from politically engaged, calling him Mr Hindsight.

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    Is this what you're thinking of? Suspect that's another project where a politician, in this case WM Mayor Andy Street, makes a big announcement only for it never to be heard of again.

    Would love to be optimistic but just having Johnson get up and say everything will be back to usual by Xmas while the experts are saying the opposite doesn't give me reason to. We're just hearing soundbites from the government, there not showing any actual plan as to how they will achieve...

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

    Astonishingly this isn't fake As well as Botham its being reported their will be peerages for four former Labour MPs, Frank Field & Gisela Stuart (who both supported Brexit) and Ian Austin & John Woodcock (who both told Labour supporters not to vote for Corbyn).

    Whitty pretty much implied that today. Said "when children go back to school we may have to put in other measures to make up for that".

    Ricoh is confirmed?

    A useable pitch shouldn't really be an optional extra when hiring a football stadium!

    Ricoh is confirmed?

    Didn't we sign a multi-year deal for St Andrews last year with a get out clause if we wanted to go back to the Ricoh?

    On one side you've got Sir Patrick Vallance FRS FMedSci FRCP and Chris Whitty CB FRCP FFPH FMedSci, on the other Johnson. I know which side I'd trust.

    To get completely accurate data could take years. People will need to drill down in to it and you will need to offset figures for later this year and into next year. For example if cancer patients have tragically died earlier as they havre stopped treatment then that will be taken into account...

    To get back to the original subject while it applies to gigs not sporting events Music Venue Trust have issued a statement saying they were working with the government on how to reopen venues safely but the government have blindsided them with an announcement they knew nothing about and aren't...

    They're getting absolutely desperate to deflect blame. Anyone who has been paying the slightest attention to the figures knew there were issues with accuracy, its not something that's been hidden. Its the reason most people are looking at excess deaths as the most accurate figure.

    Surely they can give it a go now. Bowling doesn't look that dangerous and there's potentially a rain interrupted day tomorrow. They're in danger of not giving themselves enough time to bowl them out twice.

    Palace v Man Utd

    Could not agree with this more. You can easily get rid of diving in the game. Start at the top, every PL game reviewed and 5 match ban for a dive. Might sound extreme but they'd soon stop. Imagine Grealish having to explain to his manager he'll be out for 5 games because he tried to cheat...

    This might come as a shock but it seems the promised £30bn spending might not be quite what it seems. https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/14938

    Not sure much is being based on science tbh. The science seems to suggest the virus ideal conditions are cold and damp but we're opening ice rinks.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    8 miles from the council house, maybe they'll build us a new stadium!
