Draft this week. Always interesting.

He's eligible under ICC rules. English father. Pace bowling weakest part of the side. Not been particularly good for a while. Heavily reliant on batsmen and spin options You pick your best players available. If he can get in on merit ( not reputation ) then he should get a place. Players...

Former Warks youngster Tom banton going well for Somerset. More than a few of 19-21 year olds playing in the 50 over form already this season.

just watched a 20/20 spell he's bowled this afternoon. He has ridiculous skills. Not very often a quick bowler is a match winner in 50 over cricket these day- this kid is. Don't see the issue myself. Played his 1st cricket over here nearly 6 years ago, english father and we're now in line with...

Millwall just not worth the hassle. used to be like going into a war zone with all the police etc. Just as likely to get thumped by someone not even at the game. Old Den was a grim place,

Difficult. Seamers been inconsistent over last couple of seasons. Still a side often bailed out by batsmen. But green wickets, English conditions, But Archer is a real talent,

Woakes right that it would be morally wrong to include Archer? Don't see it myself

they reckon he'll be the first 200m contract

nice contract. 65m signing bonus, 35m a year. Going to be some more monsters this year with 6 or 7 other starters due new deals/

part of a rubbish myth that they only used to fight other hooligans. End taking and they'd steam into everyone and anyone

Seem to remember there being about 4 or 5 charges each time it seemed to be calming down . Was it 1st season of no fences and all seater? Quite a few games with fans on the pitch that 1st season and the seats getting ripped out.

I was about 14. That was one scary night. West Ham everywhere behind our end. Cops couldn't contain it. Everyone thought we going to get mullered but for some reason (not sure whether it was because it was a semi or it was West Ham) there was a large number of City I hadn't seen before there...

Remember that one well. Game was moved after the carnage of the 1st game at Highfield Road. Don't think I've ever seen so many on the pitch fighting. Some of theirs got in top of west stand. Kicked off when they threw beer over Julie Curtis (George's daughter). They were being thrown out when...

A group of 10-15 of us had the bright idea of renting a minibus for away games in 83 so we could have a bit more freedom going to away games. Gave up before Xmas. Every away game was some sort of trouble even though we were obvious scarfers on the lash. No idea how many minibus windows we had to...

Ayresome Park late 70s and they were throwing those old plastic pub darts at us (the. ones that used to get bent and never fly properly). Steward said that normally they had some big boards to slot into the fence to protect fans but someone had nicked them that week :)

went to an old firm game way back and there were load of Chelsea with the Rangers "firm".. Would have thought that Sunderland having some sort of hooligan alliance with Feynoord says more about their supporters looking for trouble about football than what a small handful of Cov kids get up to.

tried their forum once but even Google Translate couldn't help me understand what they were trying to say

On a lighter note don't know whether Rees Mogg has a strange sense of humour of just strange but the names he's given his kids suggest some rough school years for them.

Out of the so-called big counties very much 2nd class atm. Just don't seem to be able to compete in the market atm. Though this season few counties have done much business. Think Worcs just needed Clarke out and other counties bit reluctant to take him on with all this Hepburn business and his...

Think Patel only bowler playing from that 2nd game. 1st game we threw away with a poor 1st innings though Belly did look like he could win it in the 2nd. For now just got to compare 3,4,5 batters atm. Way down on experience. Bell going to be a huge miss for now. Warks recruited badly in all...
