Bobo you cynic.

I suspect cider sales will be up aswell, so you get my vote.

If they are fruit flavoured ones then I want a Parliamentary Enquiry.

I'm guessing you're counting apple as fruit flavoured too?

Now you're just being silly. It's a given ... it's just so wrong to fck cider up with cherry, blackberry, cranberry etc.

If you want pop drink pop. If you want pop AND to get pissed, put vodka with it ... but cider is apple, only apple, just apple and nowt else.

And, by the way and whilst we're at it, pear cider already has a name. Its called a perry. Not, I repeat not (and not now or ever before) f*cking pear cider.

2 up - lovely.

If Pietersen & Cooke can sort their batting out for the 3rd test, we should be good for a 3-0 lead

Pietersen's place is under the spotlight for me. It's just that I've no idea who to bring in for him.

Good chance he's out injured anyhow.

Barring injury he's a definite in for me, despite his performances thus far. He can be a liability but also on his day the best attacking batsman we've got, and one of the best in the world.

You're going to get stupid shots from him but I guess that's the package. Long since resigned myself to that. It's why we need the rest to be a bit more solid. Happier now that Root has shown his ability because hopefully between him and Cook one will at least get a start.

I'd persist with Peitersen if fit. His average will always help some in the scoring, more often than not and he's a really useful fielder. Took two good deep field catches against the sun that were real awkward in this test. Not sure who'd go in in his place?

Tried it, once, in The Loft in Keswick. Took one swig, placed it back on the bar and ordered a large G & T.

Is he going in to have his feet surgically separated? They appear to have become adjoined.

Here is a difficult question for you lot ... Which three cricketers have represented both England and another international side in Britain or Ireland. Don't cheat.

[Burnden Paddock]

Eoin Morgan

[Lord Kangana]

Tony Greig?

[bwfcdan94]

Kudos to BP two more to go, I was asked the same question earlier and got 2 of the 3.

[Little Green Man]

Gavin Hamilton played for Scotland and England sides. He didn't exactly shine for either. Robert Croft has played for Wales and England. Ed Joyce has played for Ireland and England.

So that's four we've got without really trying.

Five, if you count Boyd Rankin.

6 if you count Dougie Brown. I wonder which 3 Dan isn't counting?

[Prufrock]

I don't know where I've got this from, as I know next to shit all about cricket, but Robert Croft?

Edit: bastards.

Don't think Robert Croft is one to be fair. Wales have never played any first class matches (or at least they haven't since about 1930)

[Prufrock]

Well I do know next to shit all about cricket

I wont be counting Croft as it is the England and Wales cricket board. Ed Joyce and Gavin Hamilton I will accept. There was also a fourth in Dougie Brown.

[bwfcdan94]

I take it back there are five no Rankin has represented England. So Morgan, Rankin, Joyce, Hamilton and Brown. I am surprised how quickly you got those but I presume some of you used the internet as your guide.

If we're going pre-1930, then Sydney Barnes bagged several wickets for Wales. So we're back up to six.

No, it's just that most of them have been in the last 15 years and are all notable in some way
