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?

    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.  
    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
