  1. Bazball failing miserably yet again. Looks like it's been thoroughly worked out. Quite simply the England batsman especially are not good enough. Crawley will win you one match in 20, rest of time flatters to deceive. Must have incriminating pictures. Duckett, limited and simply not good enough. Pope, the golden boy, bang average in my opinion, gives way too many opportunities and anytime he does make a big score he's dropped two or three times whilst making it. Root - play your own game and ignore the Bazball shite. Impacted by having to be a front line spinner. Genuinely a world class player. Bairstow, the worst player to ever get 100 caps for England. An average in the low 30s, one purple patch where everything came off. Chucked his toys when didn't get to keep despite being bang average at it. Ben's wee pal. He definitely knows where the bodies are buried. Stokes, looks a shadow of himself, body looks like it's finally giving up. Was a tremendous cricketer now living on reputation. Foakes, A useful cricketer. Excellent keeper. One bright spot is Brook will be returning but for me most of that top order could go. Problems in the bowling dept too. Jimmy needs to have one more test and finally retire. Wood wrong side of 30 and cannot stay fit which is a shame. Tommy Robinson bang average English trundler who is nowhere near good enough. The spinners well er meh. Might help if they actually got to bowl regularly for the counties. Ah well it's a bit of a mess, though having witnessed the late 80s and 90s I've remarkably seen worse.
  2. J k Hewison produced a weighty piece on the period, worth a look but heavy going. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L Shirer is very good. A good depiction of life in the trenches is With a machine gun to Cambrai by George Coppard. If anyone prefers their history with a tinge of drama and a bit of fiction thrown in the works of Conn Iggulden are enjoyable. And if you go out walking I heartily recommend the rest is history podcast. This isn't a bad one from my uni days if you fancy the french revolution. I've cunningly hidden my mills and boon collection. Enjoy, history is simply a magnificent subject.
  3. It's rock paper scissors, any other answer is simply erroneous.
  4. The first time it happened you're like ok they will learn from that. Instead they keep doing it and they have thrown away a chance of winning this test It's negligent from Stokes/Mccullum once again.
  5. Incredibly brainless cricket from England this morning. Drivel.
