    ODI World Cup 2023 Fantasy Draft

    Just as well he's not; would be a couple of thousand points ahead by now. #notbitter :ph34r: Seriously though, it's top stuff. Quick Q for the great man: I'm assuming we can't change our skipper and/or vice captain now we're started?

    Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

    Bombing the feck out of the Gaza Strip. Too soon, sorry. He was in contention for the Tonga squad but got left out with a bung knee.

    Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

    Yeah, that's pretty much hitting the nail on the head. I'd even go so far as to suggest a play off between whoever finishes bottom of the 6N and the winners of the Rugby Europe Championship. That way, should the latter triumph, there can be no complaining they don't deserve it. Closed shops...

    Pool C - Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal

    Hats off to the Portuguese. Got to be up there as shocks in WCs go. Probably still have Japan surprising the Boks in '15 as #1, but this is up there with Western Samoa (as was) beating the Leekists in '91, Tonga stiffing (eventual finalists) France in '11 and Uruguay downing the Fijians last...

    *Official* Match#5 - India vs Australia

    Huh. No turn at all according to ball tracking.

    *Official* Match#5 - India vs Australia

    Ooo. Heading down for me. Reckon I'd have had a look.

    *Official* Match#5 - India vs Australia

    Good to see Chris Brown has time to fit in some third umpiring around his important smacking seven shades of **** out of Rihanna duties.

    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    Insert your "calm old head" cliche there. Danny Care in excelsis.

    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    Gotta be very close to a yellow here. Samoa deliberately wheeling the scrum right in front of the sticks.

    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    Honestly. Fecking amateur hour.

    Pool A - New Zealand, France, Italy, Uruguay, Namibia

    More than a grain of truth in that, actually. England in 91 were coming off a Grand Slam and would repeat it the following year, Scots had one of their own in 1990, NZ held the Bledisloe and were reigning world champs. & NZ in 99 were considered shoo ins before the tournament too, had a...

    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    So forward this. Bit windy of the ref not to call it in normal time.

    Pool D - England, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, Chile

    Few hens coming home to roost here, I think. Defence has been embarrassing, Samoa getting over the gain line almost literally every play. And, I know tackling isn't really Jonny May's thing, but his effort for Ah Wong's first was pretty bloody pony. We're massively flattered by being only 6...

    Football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I vaguely recall she bonded (or so his anecdote would have it) with Reg Dwight over both of them having had tens of thousands of footy fans regale them with ditties about their putative enthusiasm for a practice beloved of the denizens of Sodom.

    ODI World Cup 2023 Fantasy Draft

    Yeah, hats off to @CricAddict it's a really well designed spreadsheet. :notworthy So much so that I can see my points per player average (50, less than half yours, he notes somewhat bitterly) is actually faintly two bob (6th overall) and I'm top almost entirely thanks to my largely inadvertent...

    FAO Arsenal Fans

    Yeah, you did mention it. He's absolutely staunch, as one understands. Hugely, hugely clever guy too; humour in music is really tricky to pull off without tipping over into being a comedy performer who happens to use musical numbers, but our Nigel successfully walks that tightrope. Next time...

    FAO Arsenal Fans

    For years in my mental rolodex Tranmere Rovers = Half Man Half Biscuit, Awaydays by Kevin Sampson, John Aldridge, Dixie Dean and Jason McAteer. Now it's just pretty much Corrin though. To all intents and purposes he is Tranmere Rovers as far as my mind is concerned.

    *Official* Opening Match- England v New Zealand- October 5th, Ahmedabad

    I think we've discovered what happened to that canoe bloke who faked his own death:

    Kudos to EnZed for putting our batting effort into perspective. I mean, it's no secret the Black Caps' strength is their batting, but then so is ours. How we let a team with two proper bowlers (or maybe two and a half if one counts Santner) restrict us to ~280 is criminal.
