    *** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

    TMS saying Stokes has 127 (for 0) against 94 balls in his Test career against Morris.

    *** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

    TMS making the point that Cook's conversion rate used to be almost 50% (25 out of 54), since then has converted 5 out of 31 50s into a ton.

    One of those kinda bad decisions that remains out on batsman review.

    Ironic because England don't seem to have analysts any more. They have people who look at numbers on a computer screen. Actual technique and assessing character is out of fashion.

    Nerves might swap to the bowling/fielding team now they're favourites.

    Umpire choking as well?

    England continuing to choke the final then.

    England doing a good job of choking so far.

    ***Official*** English Football Season 2017/18

    I would be surprised if Barkley did well at Spurs. I think he'll bomb actually, but you know if he does anything flash 'pundits' will dribble on about it for the whole season.

    I can hardly make out the number in those grey circles they're using, stupid. The impressive thing about the 6s Kaur was hitting is almost all of them were 6s on any limited overs ground. Most of them were 70+ metres. Feels like women's cricket is reaching that tipping point where bowling...

    I don't think Jennings is too bothered where he bats. Him opening is a fairly recent thing. Apparently Bayliss has never seen Stoneman bat in the flesh. Awesome.

    That's the English selectors in a nutshell. They're useless. You may as well get rid of them all and just use PCA rankings with a filter for seamers who bowl 80mph or less. Proper selectors can identify talent, can see glaring technical flaws that need to be worked out so that the prolific...

    Yea the whole experience thing is absolute bollocks. Frankly I just think Bayliss and the others just lack the capacity to actually look at someone and see something in them that will translate into a good Test cricketer. Partly because Bayliss can't be arsed looking anyway and self-admittedly...

    Going to have to start putting people on ignore - writing people off based on their career average is moronic in the extreme. Stoneman averaged sub 30 in his first few seasons. That's not really relevant to now, he has scored plenty of runs the last 4-5 seasons. There are plenty of batsmen...

    Ballance needs to go. Permanently this time. I expect Dawson and Wood to make way. Woakes will presumably come straight back in for the latter. You'd think Rashid will come in as you'd think The Oval will be quite dry/flat, but who knows with this lot. You'd think Stoneman would come in for...

    *** Official*** South Africa in England 2017

    What an absolute shitshow. It was always around the corner with England though, who have this bizarre logic that you can't change a winning side and show similar rigid thinking towards the balance of a bowling attack (sticking to the same makeup in a tour or series, regardless of the pitch or...

    Yea Cricinfo still has the Hawkeye for most of Wood's earlier matches which has all the bowling speeds on - he's a bit quicker in all of them. He does tend to drop off in pace slightly after 10-15 overs of bowling. Although having said that he bowled a bit quicker in the second innings of this...

    *Official* Zimbabwe in Sri Lanka 2017

    Yea that's top notch. I guess it won't happen very often because it's usually a lot easier to just get up and throw it to the keeper. But to do all that in one quick movement is impressive.

    Glad to see England have gone from a balanced position at 130-3 when I last checked, to having basically lost the game. Good stuff.
