    England making a hash of this.

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

    At least they're leaving most of Jordan's overs for the end this time. It was daft last time having Wood/Willey/Jordan split the overs 2-2-2 in the opening 6. The first two are *clearly* better up front than at the death.

    Ireland and Afghanistan awarded Test status by ICC

    Good stuff, I'm still of the opinion that new/weak teams should basically play each other and concentrate on home Tests against stronger teams - tours should be against the A sides when you're involving the big countries. Ireland playing a tour in Australia is pointless, likewise how Bangladesh...

    Glad to hear on the highlights that England were 'marginal favourites' chasing 143... Hmm righto Mark Nicholas.

    Back to the complete shite that has been Durham's season so far.

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

    Trying to think what England's full strength side would be if they played a Test tomorrow. I don't think Hameed would play given how awful his form has been this year. Cook Stoneman Jennings Root Moeen Stokes Bairstow Woakes (obviously injured at the moment) Broad Wood Anderson Stoneman is...

    No they'll have different nerves/anxiety. Most players, particularly English players get progressively more anxious from repeat experiences of failure and getting slaughtered in the media. Thanks for playing.

    15th June - 2nd Semifinal - India vs Bangladesh

    39.3 Ashwin to Mahmudullah, 1 run, full and flat, angling down leg, swept to the right of long leg. One of Dhoni's gloves was on the ground and the throw hit it, so Bangladesh get five penalty runs It's usually a helmet that has been left behind the wicket-keeper, so this particular method is...

    14th June - 1st Semi-final - England v Pakistan

    England were chasing the game. Having quicker/taller bowlers was a disadvantage, a number of edges went for 4 or 6. Once you've a significantly below par score you've pretty much lost as you can't chase the game or force the pace when it's such a dead, tired pitch. That sort of game is the...

    14th June - 1st Semi-final - England v Pakistan

    The ICC rule that you're not allowed fresh pitches for a semi final is utterly farcical - do they want attractive cricket for the biggest games, or do they want arguably the best all-rounder in the world to be scoring 30odd off 60odd balls and unable to hit a single boundary? That'll spread the...

    FFS Sterling into the box, taking his time and still against 10 men there's only two other white shirts there to pick out. Pathetic. If England are trying to play for a draw they could do a better job of defending.

    Someone kill all the 'pundits' banging on about lack of experience with Mbappe. It's anxiety/nerves you ****ing imbeciles. Without those he'll be scoring for fun.

    *Official* English Football Season 2016-17

    Last man preventing a scoring opportunity isn't an automatic red any more. Deliberate fouls still in that situation are. Which include holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball in order to deny a goalscoring opportunity. Under...

    The high foot rule is garbage and inconsistent. If Sterling puts his foot up there to challenge for the ball he gets a free kick given against him. The French player doing it alone? Nothing.

    That one was a penalty, but the red card is rather harsh although he's clearly not playing the ball. Tricky.

    **Official** County Cricket 2017

    I was going to moan about Rampaul being a good example of everything that's wrong with County Cricket, unfortunately he seems to have nicked a few wickets. Still, pathetic that Slurry can't find a young English bowler who's at least of a comparable standard, or buy one.

    That one there was more dubious, the first one the French guy simply grabs and pulls his shirt on and off for a number of seconds. Some of it inside the box. I wonder if the 'pundits' will bring it up.

    Referee doesn't bother reviewing a blatant penalty. Then less of a foul given resulting an equaliser seconds later. Not much point having that system if they don't use it properly.
