Re: Other games 16th & 17th March
Dulwich are very well supported at that level. 3,500 when I went there with Horsham earlier this season.

Re: Books you are reading
Mayflies by Andrew O'Hagan. Really magnificent novel, best I've read in a long time. Told in two halves, riotous and hilarious in the first, then much more contemplative and moving in the second. A life-affirming tale of male friendship.

Re: England Cricket 2024
Focusing on the positives: Crawley finally looks to have settled into the opener role. Hartley and Bashir have been great, shown a lot of pluck and courage, excellent signs for the future. Badly missed Brook, that middle order will look a whole lot more secure on his return. 700 for Jimmy. We'll nev...

Or in England's case, as per 1 win in 17 before the Stokes and McCullum era, they don't.Bend it like Repka wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 8:15 amGuess what, you can't totally reinvent a game that has been played for over a century, some things are boring and traditional because they work

Re: England Cricket 2024
Stokes is an unstoppable force. Not bowled for nearly a year and then serves up a worldie like that with his first ball.

Re: England Cricket 2024
Bairstow and Stokes averaging 22 and 21 for the series shows you the middle order is where our problems have been.

Re: West Ham United v Brentford : match thread
"What a deeply unpleasant fanbase West Ham have. It’s funny, most times when you meet a WHU fan they’re half alright but when you go to the ground you actually see the pond life that follows them." - LostBee This really made me laugh for some reason. Sounds like from other comments their a...

Re: Books you are reading
Re American Crime fiction - No one has mentioned Ed Mcbain yet? His 87th precinct stories are a cracking read - and what's more the books are a bit like a TV series - they have a villain that pops up now and then in various books (the deaf man), the detectives lives change dramatically during the s...

Re: Books you are reading
Can anyone recommend any good crime fiction? Either US/American or in translation? It's a genre i've neglected over the years but am delving into it a little. I've read one Ian Rankin and didnt like that at all. I'm something of a connoisseur of American crime fiction, Elmore Leonard has already be...

Re: England Cricket 2024
Of course the dressing room will deny they listened to any outside noise, but Root, Foakes and Robinson all played steady sensible cricket, rather than trying to blast us out of trouble. A proper dose of good old fashioned test cricket has meant we now have a real chance of levelling the series. Vi...

Re: England Cricket 2024
I'm not surprised, getting a shooter on the first morning makes this Test a lottery really. No idea what a good score is.

Re: England Cricket 2024
Yet another 50+ opening partnership for Crawley and Duckett. Fast becoming the most reliable opening pair in Test cricket.

Re: Six or More
I remember this one solely for a stonewall penalty we should have got at 6-0 down for a foul on Joe Cole. It was on TV and I got very irate about it. Absolutely no idea why that sticks in the mind but there we go.Pop Robson wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 12:10 pm Record FA Cup defeats

Re: England Cricket 2024
Amazing how Bazball is affecting everyone's mentality. Gill said it was 70-30 in India's favour! A 400 run chase in the hardest conditions in the world, which has barely been done before, there's no way an away team should get anywhere near. And yet...

Re: England Cricket 2024
Really pleased for Hartley after his problems in the first innings. Stokes is a brilliant captain of spinners, they are thriving under his tenure.

Re: England Cricket 2024
Easily Pope's best innings for England. Reminds me of Cook's 176 in 2012, in a losing cause then, but set the tone for the rest of the series.
