    Don't worry, Mrs RIS took the boy, I wasn't there. :ph34r:

    Victor Ian has been silenced and cannot post for the rest of the day phase.

    I pitched this to Mrs RIS at the weekend. She didn't seem convinced, oddly.

    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    Clearly selected on the basis of "who isn't playing in the Hundred" but yeah it's been used as a developmental XI rather than an England A side here.

    *Official* The Hundred 2024 thread

    Yeah there's plenty of unnecessary trappings with the Hundred for sure - and in another timeline the Blast could have done the job the Hundred was created for. But the men & women double headers as standard through the school summer holidays, at relatively affordable prices, plus some free to...

    *Official* The Hundred 2024 thread

    My 7 year and his mate had a great time at Headingley yesterday even though the matches weren't anything special. For all the issues the Hundred causes, it genuinely is the best ticket for families.

    Less 20% courtesy of those dastardly thieves in Westminster amiright?

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    For a (probably unnecessarily) serious answer to this: I don't like Barrington as a pick lower down the order, would only really consider him at 3. And especially so given the assertion that the England all time team needed Botham at 6 or it would be too stodgy. May I think is a bit underrated...

    FYI criticism of Chris Woakes is now officially an infractable offence.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Hobbs Hutton Grace (5) Hamond (6) Root (7) May Woakes* (3) Knott+ Verity (4) Anderson (2) Barnes (1) Probably beats the other nations' ATG sides tbh.

    Means I'll just have to to run CBeebies II sometime down the line! More people might get my Go Jetters jokes next time...

    Thankfully I've somehow avoided Blippi this whole time, sounds cursed. Bluey is gun though.

    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    I dunno if there's an element of "it's Sri Lanka at home" in the decision. Let the guy who's been reserve bat for ages get a go even though it's not his natural position. If this was for the Ashes would they want a proper opener? (Might just be that Jennings isn't Bazball enough for the team...

    Ben Stokes vs Ian Bell

    Bell also has a MotS performance in the Ashes against peak Harris. Three match-winning tons in 5 games.

    Highlights of the games

    I think people have covered the main ones already: incredible athletes doing ridiculous things (e.g. Marchand, McLaughlin-Levone, Mondo) and dramatic finishes (e.g. men's 100m, Pidcock, Yee, the Bol relay.) More personally just been a fun event to share with my family. I knew my eldest (7 years...

    Lowlights of the Games

    Actually that horrible fall in the steeplechase was probably the worst moment. I'm still squirming remembering it now.

    Stokes injured in the Hundred. Who steps up to be England captain ?

    SCurran recall was actually my reflex reaction, posted in the Sri Lanka tour thread. Does he even play red ball cricket these days though? (Genuine question!) But I can't think of another allrounder they might turn to if they want to get close to a like-for-like replacement for Stokes.

    Lowlights of the Games

    UK free to air viewing being restricted to just the two BBC streams. There was stuff I'd have liked to watch that never made their coverage.
