Its somewhat different to the atmosphere when I paid an old "tanner" (i.e.Under 3 pence) so watch the Teatime session at The Vauxhall End of The Oval after our Grammar School lessons which were 50 yards away...


John Edrich, Micky Stewart and Ken Barrington would not have approoved...:)

Can I just say that I am absolutely LOVING the 20/20 cricket! I know that I am missing my football but I find these matches so entertaining! None of these 5 day long cricket matches and then they say its a draw.......how does that work?! Anyone got any spare tickets to sell?

It was no surprise that SA were going to beat England decisively. But hey-ho it?s not real cricket, just a bit of fun, ungraceful slog-fest etc. etc.


Unfortunately that argument would only really hold up if England were any good at any of the other forms of the game.


One thing though. What?s the deal with the twonks it stupid clothes doing the break-dancing?

I've been boring strangers to death telling them to lump on South Africa heavily. Nearly the whole side played IPL, and most did well in it. They bat hard and long, and have most areas of bowling covered.


Also, Parnell and Steyn possess the sort of pinch-cheeked hunger usually found in depression-era New York street gangs.


The dancers are a homage to Billy Bowden's boundary signals.

Yeah, I know it's not a startling piece of knowledge, Quids, but I fancied Saf from long ago - although I have no idea how the odds looked then.


You have to look at how the groups stack up as well - and the ICC handily made that very predictable with their seedings.


If Saf win their group (they have to beat India, which I think they will) they will probably meet NZ in the semi. And I think they have too much game for NZ - similar teams, except Saf have the extra bit of class.


I think SL are the biggest danger to Saf because of their spinners, and the top order will put Parnell and Steyn under pressure. That's the final for me - SL v Saf. Either that or India v Saf, with India having done SL in the other semi.


One caveat: the very top of the order seem to have come off their peak a bit, but I'm trusting Gibbs to play at least one of his specials in the tournament.


Also, as I said, they are supremely rat-faced, which counts for something.

      Point is.. top two have quit.. BBC is now what? From being well respected world wide.. not only for news, programs, no idea about pod casts.. Only thing we as a country do well currently is broadcast remembrance service…. Lets face it.. only country that I know of who can release wrong people from jail.. one gave himself up if news is to believed and the other is where? Only country I know of who actually pay people to leave, flights etc and they are back in country .. all heard via Radio 4…

      It doesn't matter what channel it was on, how pernicious the subject is and when it happened. Mis-representing the truth in broadcast is not only morally wrong, it's against the OFCOM code of ethics.  Everyone in the industry is trained in how not to do it, most are made to take the BBC's own 'Safeguarding the Trust' course, even if they aren't making BBC programmes.  There wasn't much fuss at the time, because no one knew about it.  "Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings". What the programme makers personally think or feel should never affect how they tell a story; to do so is deeply unprofessional and a sackable offence.  It's the job of the BBC and of all programming to inform viewers of the facts and let them make up their own minds. Even in campaigning documentaries.

      Hadn't realised that the Panorama programme that people are up in arms about was over a year ago.  There wasn't much fuss at the time so why drag it up.  Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings. The programme was clumsy, but the vast majority of us know that Trump had an influence.  So the Telegraph has played into his hands.

      I tried a Lime bike once, too heavy and bulky for me but I understand that many really like them.  And very much support the concept.
