For people who have been brought up on over 50 years of β€˜traditional’ test cricket I can understand that the change to the new era might be difficult for some.

It was frustrating but you can’t have the good shots without the occasional lapse

Enjoy the ride 😊

Have you ever thought of branching out into Cricket

An England & India combo to celebrate this series ?

Between 10-20% depending on the definition of a scoring shot ?

Might be a good question for Andy Zaltzman

Agreed - but I would like to point out that lots of runs are scored from non attacking strokes
eg defensive edge through the slips for 4

Is he wearing white (batting) gloves?

Only PL player I know who plays cricket is Sean Langstaff

Someone from the 1966 World Cup winning team

Martin Peters?

Don’t get out the habit of going to a match. Simply switch to your local non league team

No problem supporting two teams when they are so far apart (football wise) and the non league team will be much more appreciative of your support

Will you post the outcome of

your complaint (probable they will say their standards were met)

and / or

the meeting with Ed (probably will be determined as being confidential)

I’d love to know what the clue was for One across

β€˜Best team in the North West’ ? 😊

Sadly it happens far too often.

Easier said than done but protecting the ground as a community asset that cannot be sold for development is a must for all clubs.

What is the position for the players. Are they now free agents able to look for another club?

When was the rule changed ?
Was it after (prompted by) the famous Liverpool beach ball incident?

Blueberries aren’t cheap and as they are sold by weight this means you will get less of them πŸ€”

Was Bob Wilson a legitimate contender for the 1970 World Cup squad?

The rules changed in 1970 and he became eligible to play for Scotland which he did in 1971.

Makes me think nobody thought he was good enough for England.

Proposed rule change - if the game is stopped for a head injury, that player must go off the pitch for a full head impact assessment. (should take c5 mins)
Serious injuries demand this time out of the game and it will penalise players deliberately stopping the game as a time wasting opportunity

Not what I said.

Of course I don’t think that peaceful protestors should be arrested

Just pointing out the difference between a pro Palestine / anti genocide protest and positively supporting the Palestine Action Group who have caused millions of pounds of damage which I can’t condone

Whatever the rights and wrongs (and I’m very pro Palestine and anti genocide) a placard that is specifically designed to support the Palestine Action group is sadly asking for trouble.

We can argue whether they should be a proscribed terrorist group but their actions to date are not to be condoned

Hardly puts him on the bread line and as he wants to join Barcelona it makes a lot of sense

If the ball goes out of shape (fails the ring test) does that actually disadvantage the bowling side.

There is no doubt that attempts to change the ball only happen when β€œnothing is happening”

There must be some sort of penalty to discourage frequent speculative attempts

This is obviously an unwritten code between teams / riders but there must be a dividing line between when this is implemented or not

Would be interesting to know what the threshold is

I thought Marinakus had put his shares into a blind trust to safeguard Forest from a similar situation.

He still seems to be in charge ?

Thanks - The final confirmed figure may well support your claim (and I expect it probably will)

But for the time being the key words here are β€˜the investigation is ongoing’

A couple of very speculative guesstimates (and I expect the Telegraph to over estimate) doesn’t really count as evidence 😊

I am quite happy to agree the wider damage and costs relating to various incidents (and obviously the paint damage costs massively exceeded my original thoughts)

However, the article you referenced does not directly support or evidence your claim as the cost of the paint damage is not quantified.

Could someone explain the physics which resulted in that ball hitting the wicket πŸ˜‚
