We will have to agree to disagree. I watched the opening morning and the ball was clearly swinging and England were playing and missing. Botham identified it and I totally agreed with him. The ball was moving about. Would have suited Anderson, Broad and Woakes. When we did come to bowl the...

We went to Fargo today. It was very nice, but unusually quiet. Supposed to be a barbecue and deckchairs and a bouncy castle, but when we got there, there was just the bouncy castle. Stayed there 5 and a half hours though. We're going to do the brewery, but left it too late and it was closed by...

I agree with Botham. It was the wrong decision to bat first. He called it on the first morning. The ball was swinging and moving about a bit first thing and with Pakistan down after the previous test it would have been a prudent move. Ideal for swing bowling Thursday morning. Could have been a...

Only a few minutes, but he looked very gangly and awkward. Didn't seem to be able to control the ball at all, but that can happen though when players first come on though can't it, so probably not too wise to take any heed from that. On for far too little time to judge is the best answer.

Phil McCavity. Trying to remember all the names. JumpersForGoalposts

Sounds like me with my ex missus.

No finn, just a couple of flippers.

Don't remember that poster. Was that Natalie Coulson?

The ones that make me laugh the most are the ones that are like A Fan For Life, or Cov City Forever and then say they are not going up again, or not buying a season ticket, or are NOPM. Which there were more 'CovCity4EverIfItSuits' type names.

There have been some very good ones, but I think GMK had the best names. Will have to have a think.

Yeah, would guess so, but will be a shame for the lad. Was thinking initially that McCann would come in for the left hand side in place of Haynes, but now of course we have Page. McCann can play at the back too mind, but would be a little surprised if TM put him in the back three.

Thought Stevenson outshone Ghadzev myself.

Spence is raw, but he is full of trickery. If we can harness that we might have a great little player on our hands. I agree on Stevenson. Harries definitely needs to bulk up a little and he didn't have any great big lump of a forward to mark, but he still had a very good game. Was very...

Funny how you mentioned 'butler' and four minutes later Grendel appears. ;) A little buzzer must have gone off in the pantry.

Clearly had an injury. Both Clive Eakin and Dele Adebola alluded to it and he was limping a bit at times during the game.

Jones was carrying an injury. I'd didn't think Rose was terrible second half, just that he didn't do anything and that was because their fullback played a lot higher line and nullified Rose going forwards so much.

Well that's why I couldn't just go to another turnstile. The security guys wouldn't let me try anywhere else and directed me directly to a particular gate and when I got there they wanted to check my bag again too.

Haven't you just described Sky Blue Sam?

Yeah, would say that is pretty much spot on, apart from Ricketts, who I would have as a 5.5 - 6. I know Reid got MOTM, but he is incredibly wasteful in good positions. Maybe what rival fans say about him is indeed true. Does all the hard work and then his shooting is all over the place. He...

Weirdly enough though, first half I thought the ref was having a good game. Second half he seemed to lose the plot.
