Hugely impressive and shows the team's confidence. All the more enjoyable for shutting up the moaners in the commentary box who were dismissive of allowing Bell his century (even remembering what Atherton did to Hick when he was on 98) and thought the declaration too early.


A special mention for Boycott who moaned about Trott being 'one paced' and not going after the bowling enough during his double century - this from Boycott of all people, a batsman of one pace if ever there was one, who could bore fans to sleep on his way to a century.

I can't help but think that the current Sri Lankan team is over-burdened with initials. Cricketers historically are called CB Fry or WG Grace or MJK Smith if you're pushing things (Trott, Morgan and Broad all stretch to three of the current selection), but UWMBCA Welegedara, HMRKB Herath and the Jayawardenes (DPMD and HAPW respectively), I ask you!!!

451 for 8 and Pietersen on 183 (been cutting loose since he got to 150) - very good afternoon's work and Kumar got himself a five-for. Tomorrow is looking like a good day to be there Quids - and early too if we don't see England get a chance to bowl in the next 40mins or so.

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
