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?

    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
    • Her legacy will be the Deputy leader/Housing Secretary who was the Labour party's sleaze crime fighter who broke the ministerial code for not paying enough stamp duty on one of her houses. As Housing Secretary she probably should have known better.    I wonder if she will defect to Corbyn where she will no doubt be welcomed with open arms and the words: "You did nothing wrong, it was all a media conspiracy comrade......"
