It's a worry when your top scorer by quite a distance, only got 30.


What is going on, is it just the perfect bowlers wicket, or are we just that rubbish today? Hopefully our bowlers can do similar later on... In fact, hopefully our bowlers can outshine our batsmen with the bat too!

Not a good outing at Headingly - but us long time England supporters have been thru' this so many times before.


I'm betting that the team will lose Bopara to be replaced by, in order of likelihood - Trott, Key, Shah. Ramprakash & Trescothick are not likely bets, despite the chatter. No other batting changes - tho' Bell remains flaky, only I can't see an obvious replacement.


Harmison will have his radar retuned by playing county cricket and if they opt for a second spinner for the Oval we'll see Monty back - and lose either Harmison or Anderson (if he really does have some kind of fitness / illness issue). Personally I'd drop Harmison, Anderson would be playing for the future - Harmison as one last fling.


PS: I'm still interested in any Oval tickets going spare??

God I hope not! People are saying that it may have been different with Flintoff in the team, but I don't buy that. A general all round batting display like that, is not down to one man... Although the bowling may have been better had he been there.


There is a lot of talk of a one off recall for Mark Ramprakash, and why not! It's a win win situation for him, he gets recalled, and could be a total hero, and if it doesn't work out, then he's hardly to blame!

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
