Duckworth Lewis is only used in one day matches mostly because it takes a further 5 days after a D/L decision for everyone to figure out what the hell just happened and why. The sport of cricket, or indeed the international membership of mensa, does not posses the necessary intellectual capacity to apply it to 5 day matches.

They?ll get one session in tomorrow which will be enough for England to bowl Australia out without having to bat again.


Pietersen finishing with bowling figures of 5 for 20 and the furrow between Ponting?s eyes reaching a critical point where it exceeds the external pressure of his head causing his entire noggin to collapse in on itself and form a singularity of seething rage a few inches above his shoulders.

So what is all this about Wareny being asked to return?? Is there not something about sqauds for these series, in that they must be picked before the start of the series and therefore limiting the players available? If not then there should be!!


I would love to see Warney back in action as he is a legend, but I cannot see it!

Warne's been out of 1st class cricket for 3 years. He wouldn't have the same skill or fitness. The publicity's good and I'm sure he's having fun teasing the media & England but he'll not play for Oz again. Why would the most successful Aussie spin bowler want to risk his reputation by playing at sub par himself and risking his reputation with the current, losing, side?

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
