Pietersen to come back, Bell was ill and Prior will get over his wobble. This was the first test for a while and the bowlers were on top form - plus Lords not aways best ground for England.

Whoah there - 3 Tests, 3 draws.


Ist test - 1st innings a bit of a shambles but great recovery in 2nd innings;

2nd Test would have won if rain hadn't come along (made NZ follow on);

3rd Test - a bit of a shambles but no Pietersen


Pietersen still the key imho.

Like Tuffers said - given away a few cheap wickets but the overhead conditions have played a part. Still, anything Siddle can do Anderson can do better*; wouldn't bet against Swann belting a few first though*.

Am now torn between wanting to see tail wag and seeing JA have a crack.

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
