Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet

A good days cricket so far. Seems to be well balanced, with at times us looking like we’re smashing it, and then moments later teetering on a position that is underwhelming.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet

Dawson seems like possibly the best option - knows the set up, can bat and field well, and I’d back him to be the most consistent bowler. He’s not going to win matches though. It would be a case of holding up an end while we attack with a rotation of seamers. This would come unstuck on flat pitches ...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet

Leach isn’t the best, but he’s the best we’ve got, and our plans for the last 12 months have firmly involved him. He’s probably the player with the least obvious replacement and it opens up a huge weakness. Australia will target anyone coming in, which will then put pressure on our seamers to bowl m...

If we do manage to score here, extra time will be great fun playing 5-1-4

We’ve got into more good areas in this 5 minutes than we did in the whole first half. Poor final balls though currently.

Doesn’t feel like Evatt knows how to play a team like this. Barnsley perfectly setup to counter us and we are just trying the same things that failed in the first leg. Have absolutely no answers. We can’t we split the strikers and turn them round down the channels? Cos what we are doing isn’t worki...

Not sure I’ve ever seen a team have as much possession yet so little control of a match.

Re: We shall not be moved. Play-off away to Barnsley,Fri, 19th May, 20-00

It’s been a really good season. My gut tells me this one Friday will just be a step too far and Barnsley are just that little bit too strong especially with our injuries. I don’t think it’s the end of the world as I think we need to strengthen for next season and find a way to be in the mix for the...

Re: A Challenge, but not the University one. Away to Oxford, Sat Apr 15th 3-0'clock.

The CCTV clip is being shown on local news outlets and is all over social media, so I’d say that’s pretty damning to the clubs reputation. Everyone now knows who he is, who he represents and what he’s done. We’re certainly taking our time in announcing what to do. I’d have thought we’d have already ...

Thought about this long and hard and, much as it pains me, I think he should go. I very much doubt he will , but he should. What good would that do? Same as if he was a regular employee. A bloke in his 20’s makes a mistake out of work and is dealt with. I’m not convinced there is any scenario where...

Re: The Politics Thread

I agree pay erosion across the whole public sector is universal, and think as a country we hugely undervalue the skill of a wide range of essential public sector workers. I’m not having that private sector employees have had anywhere near the level of real terms pay cuts. Sticking to NHS staff as th...

What are people’s thoughts on the follow on here? To me, NZs only route to victory felt like batting well while follo...

Been that much going on, I missed the fact there was actually a test series on, let alone that we were 1-0 to the good. Thanks for the reminder TD. :-) England put in and get to 21-3 on a green wicket doing all sorts. Went to bed. Expecting to wake up to NZ 4 down or something after England all out...

I reckon it's clearly up to the cashier to make sure the payment has gone through. As for the recovery action, I would be using a different garage now.

Curious to hear people’s opinions on the following.

Needless to say, I hadn’t knowingly stolen fuel. I nipped in this morning to fin...

Re: The Politics Thread

To me it feels like a lot of people are a bit frightened to make their modest arguments around the issue, seeing how people that do try get jumped on. As above, there are some of JKRs comments that I don’t particularly agree with, but they were presented in a reasoned way and were not particularly o...
