    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    Has CW ever made Southee's use of the crease a meme? I guess it's a big part of his bowling so not really meme worthy but it is mentioned every test I ever watch of him.

    Spark with this avi is going to take a while to get used to

    *Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

    Tbh it's a bit rubbish if it wasn't the first thing on global, but at least they give you a way to somewhat tailor it.

    DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

    In my head I've always viewed Root as, if all goes to plan (which it kind of hasn't in the last two years) being England's best batsman since the 50s, with the idea of Compton and Barrington being level or better. Maybe this shows I should be even more ambitious with my hopes for him.

    DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

    That 2010-13 peak was so massive for his career. Given it happened when he was 25-28 it's really gutting that he was only ever decent after that. :(

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    European refs are absolutely awful for adding time on. They absolutely never account for stoppages within stoppage time itself for unknown reasons.

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    Majority of Liverpool fans I know are absolutely fine and wouldn't negatively impact my life if/when they win the PL. They didn't after the CL. After last season I find it hard to resent their success anymore. They have a few likeable players and a very likeable manager, and have fully earned...

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    Chelsea are in a weird spot where I don't think the odd result like today really matter that much. They're comfortably better than those below them, but much worse than Liverpool and City.

    DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

    Random but was just going through the bowling thread again and realised you don't count UAE as home matches for Pakistan players. I wonder how high Younis Khan could be with that in mind. Edit: Hmm he only averages 6.5 more in UAE than all his other away matches, so it bumps his non-home...

    *Official* England in South Africa 2019/20

    First time I've noticed an SA boxing day test not being played at Durban. Has this happened in the last couple of years or is it the first time in a while?

    CWPL Grand Final - Pixie Caramels v Avengers

    Conceding a 684 run first innings lead in a final is pretty impressive.

    We're beyond saving now. No new manager bounce considering where we were under Emery is staggering. Only thing that will do it now is if the club somehow fluke a Klopp or Pochettino calibre hire despite being incompetent.

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

    The squad, especially with Pogba out, is so much better suited to big games. Ball winning midfielders and fast wide forwards, but no passing and no prolific, proper centre forward.

    Bob Willis passes away

    Shri's thread is in the similar threads tab so I checked it out and every single video is blocked in the UK by Sky. I guess just stopping people watching cricket isn't enough, they have to stop us enjoying a couple of minutes of a Bob Willis rant too.

    :( God I didn't even know he was ill.

    Tim Paine

    Yeah, all fair. The fact it's not actually a clear cut case of him being picked purely for captaincy is why I haven't really gone on about it before. I did think about it a lot when Smith was coming back from the concussion in the Ashes though. My instinct would've been to drop Paine and have...

    Tim Paine

    Yeah I get that. I think because cricket cares so much about the captain it's actually more important than it could/(should?) be and is in other sports. I guess my point more is that this doesn't have to be the case. The coach can just step up and it can be much more his team than the captain's...

    Tim Paine

    My hot take is cricket just cares too much about the role of test captain. No reason it should still be such a huge thing in the days of the head coach/full backroom staffs. Test sides should be picking their best XIs and just choosing whoever they trust most to do the pre/post-match press...

    *Official* England in New Zealand 2019

    Three tours in a row England haven't won a test in New Zealand (albeit it short ones).
