@WG_RumblePants I’m sure these guys were all very talented - but it does look somewhat ‘gentle’! 😊

@nickgoff79 That's very funny - I'd have creased up if I'd heard that while keeping.

@joni_askola @Kasparov63 Germany’s socialists appear to have a misplaced sense of loyalty to Russia that they acquired from propaganda in formative years in the GDR. Have seen it most in friends & colleagues aged 40+ either playing down Russian actions or complaining about cost of supporting Ukraine.

The European far right and far left are just two sides of the same Russian coin. Whether they shout about sovereignty or pacifism, the result is always the same: They end up repeating Kremlin talking points and trying to dismantle the alliances that keep us safe from Moscow

@StickToCricket What an incredible comment from Cook, Liam’s comments should be dismissed because he has a grievance??? So, because he was dropped from the side he makes stuff up? Weird attitude to have.

“I keep hearing how great the set up is!” Have England made the right decision to stick with their management team? 👀

@WG_RumblePants @chuckadolphy Trott I like… did a good job with AFG - a very difficult team to man-manage and with a language barrier. Top candidate imo.

Unpopular opinion: has anyone actually got a better suggestion than Baz McCullum as England coach? Heard a lot of whining but not one alternative suggestion.

‘Leopards don’t change their spots' ~ Geoffrey Boycott He wrote in his article for The Telegraph “It is ludicrous nobody has lost their job after shameful Ashes. For the ECB to clear Rob Key & McCullum without guarantees that things will change is an insult to England cricket fans.”

Hiring companies - your cycle to work scheme is no more than a greenwashing tax dodge unless you actually offer secure bike lockups and decent showering and changing areas too.

How did we all get duped into the lie of "comfy old jeans"? Jeans are not comfortable and they never have been.

@NoContextCounty LBW. Ridiculous form of dismissal. Only there to stop batters deliberately ‘padding’ the ball away. But all this ‘clipping the bail’ & ‘umpire’s call’ nonsense is way over the top. But unfortunately there’s no alternative. LBW must stay. Sadly.

@bushontheradio Sadly moved into slipper zone a few years back. It’s a sign of age. But I’ve learned to accept my fate. And my feet aren’t cold any more.

@WG_RumblePants Used to be our arch rivals - the only artificial strip on the Island back in the day. It was fast and they had the fastest bowler on the Island too: Jeff Hose (father of Worcs batter Adam Hose). The slope was odd because the ball would often plug, robbing you of a boundary.

Some photographs you just cannot understand. I saw this in the newspapers and for the life of me could not fathom how a batsman as technically accomplished as Mike Atherton got clean bowled, middle stump, while attempting what seems to be a hook against Courtney Walsh. Port of Spain 1998. #cricket #England #WestIndies

I know many people miss the sound of Richie’s voice on commentary. He’s probably still widely regarded as the best tv cricket commentator. But, if Richie remains at #1, who would you put at #2? I’m genuinely interested to see who people pick. Radio commentators need not apply!
