Waddya mean a negative? That sounds like it could *be* the England side...

The Irish team is also made up of a handful of South Africans, Kiwis and Australinas with a brace of poms thrown in for good measure.


South Africa has also got in on the act. Chronically unable to grow their own spin bowlers they have stolen one from Pakistan.

Eek, good show from the dutch boy from port elizabeth.


So, almost 300 to chase. Who reckons KP trys to smack it around and is out for two?

Then we panic and play defensively for the next fifteen overs, then look like we might get back into it before a quick collapse?

And you missed a cracker - moving from easy confidence of an historic win while Strauss & Bell were batting to despair as we lost quick wickets during the Power Play (why do England always, always fall apart during a power play) to that most rare of results - a tie. Good stuff and infinitely better than my son's preference for the Carling Cup Final game.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
