    *Official* South African tour of England and Ireland 2022

    Saw Rickelton bat for Norhamptonshire v Glos at Cheltenham last month, scored 95 + 68, looked a very fine player, great bloke as well, chatted to the spectators on the boundary. Should make their top order a bit more solid.

    I think that's what they call "comprehensively bowled"

    Andrew Symonds dies in car accident

    RIP, not my favourite but just so sad. :shocking: When players younger than you die, you start feeling very old. The Fox Sports Cricket Comm box is going to need a massive overhaul now after a shocking last couple of months. Hopefull Isa is fine, as she always worked well with Andrew as well...

    County Cricket 2022

    Luke Procter would have to be one of the most unaesthetically pleasing players to watch, but he does a fine rearguard job. They also have an underrated bowling side. Think they will stay up.

    County Cricket 2022

    Nathan McAndrew, overseas player for Warwickshire, :helpsmili:laughing::wallbash:, seriously, he's taken 34 FC wkts at 32. Just the sort of player you need.

    Ryan Campbell in coma after heart attack

    Just heard on radio in Perth that his brother said he has awoken from his coma and doesn't appear to have any brain damage. Hopefully that is right.

    Australia off-season 2022

    My heart bleeds for Cricket Australia, have no sympathy for them at all. They are the reason the comp is ****ed, to greedy, too many games, thought fans were idiots. You reap what you sow.

    I don't actually have it. LOL , but the books title is "Arlott on Cricket" his writings on the game edited by David Rayvern Allen (1984), which is mainly a collection of his writings out of the "Guardian" newspaper. Reckon it's pretty good, might have to look for it myself.

    Australian domestic season 2021/22

    Sam Rainbirds figures of 8-21 are the BEST ever first-class figure by a Tas bowler. :clap: Previous best figure were 8-31 back in 1858 by William Brown. (164 years ago) Previous best shield figures for Tas was 8-95 by Peter Clough v WA in launceston in 1984.

    Best book by John Arlott

    I've got about a dozen Arlott books, they are nearly all very well written. A couple of recommendations, John Arlott's book of cricketers. 1979 A book of essays on 25 of his favourite cricketers that he enjoyed. Around 5-6 pages on each. Some were great cricketers, like Sobers, Trueman, V...

    Ireland and Test Cricket and Full Member status

    The problem Ireland had was when they got Test status, their best players were on the downward spiral, and they don't have the depth to cover. Joyce & Porterfield were right at the end, Niall O'Brien was as well. Boyd Rankin & Tim Murtagh were both the wrong side of 30. Plus I think Irish...

    *Official* Women's World Cup 2022

    Pakistan need to be around 40-45 after 10 overs I reckon.

    *Official* Women's World Cup 2022

    Pakistan would have taken that at the start. Last two overs might have been crucial, 23 runs, maybe 5-8 to many.
