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!

    • Yiddish is written in Hebrew script, traditionally, so any attempt to use 'Roman' script will be transliteration, as noted. Hebrew script does not have vowels as such, so any vowels used will try to copy the Yiddish sound of the word. Bagel and Beigel are both correct transliterations of the Yiddish word. 
    • Have they still not fixed it? that's pretty shabby. I took this picture on New Year's Day and it's been like this at least since before Xmas.     
    • To be fair, if I saw you eating any of the parcels I'd have walked out. I noticed last night that the illuminated sign now describes this place as the POT OFFICE. Presumably THC vapes are more profitable than being a drop-off point for bloody Evri
    • Housebuilding isn't that profitable and housebuilders don't have social responsibilities. The affordable housing component is just a tax on new builds. It's a total failure by government - a fantasy belief that the private sector is going to solve the state's social housing crisis for free. It's like expecting Tesco to solve child humgrr by giving away a percentage of its products. It's not gonna work - it just slows down and disincentivises private sector construction of new housing. The only solution to the housing crisis is a massive increase in the supply of housing, not a couple of "affordable" flats in a new development. The state needs to solve the problem of NIMBYs (one of whom is prominent on this thread), get out of the way of private sector developers building private rentals and homes for sale, and borrow to build a huge amount of social housing.
