    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    The thing with Bangladesh pitches, or at least what happened last time, is basically you're just looking to plug away whether batting or bowling. Bresnan was probably England's most effective player last time. So you have more guys who like a lot of Bangladesh's players are more bits and pieces...

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    Batty bowls off spin though same as Moeen. Ansari provides better balance as he's left arm. You could say Rashid takes it away from the right arm bats, but he bowls a lot of googlies. So I'm not sure he's markedly more effective to right or left handed batsmen, as opposed to more orthodox...

    Road to Russia 2018

    Pretty much everyone who's played for England over the year deserves to be ahead of Rooney. As do a load of lower profile names and youth or young players. So yes 50-100 is about right. Trying to shoehorn Rooney in, and all the bullshit whenever he plays or does not play, and the fact that he's...

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    Yes Bangladesh's weakest area is death batting. But a lot of that is genetics/culture. West Indies for instance is always going to produce guys who can potentially bowl like the wind and smash the ball for miles - whether they maximise that potential is another thing altogether. Bangladeshis...

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    This is England's to lose, but then the first was Bangladesh's to lose and even more so than this situation. It is up to England whether they can show that bit of extra quality/temperament where it matters - or otherwise.

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    20 innings for England. Top score of 51, with a penchant for wafting his wicket away as well.

    One wonders how many games Vince would have gotten if he wasn't from one of the favoured counties.

    Road to Russia 2018

    Yea I wouldn't have Walcott anywhere near the squad. He's completely innocuous 99% of the time. Sturridge was abysmal, he seems to play by numbers, it's like he decides when he next gets the ball he's going to do some pirouette thing regardless. Another time he'll have a shot. I think he...

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    Anyway well done Stokes, waiting for the ECB to claim ownership of him as collateral against their scumbag shafting of Durham which gets worse with every bit of information that comes out.

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    I remember the same crap trotted out a couple of years ago about England's seam bowling. Oh well x does well in County Cricket but is crap at international level. Therefore everyone else is shite. Doesn't work like that. Also Rashid hasn't been particularly special in FC cricket, despite being...

    *Official* English Football Season 2016-17

    Yes Gateshead is one of those places they deliberately misspell in order to confuse outsiders. It's actually pronounced Gates-heed. It's classed as part of Geordie-land, so they share a similar level of illiteracy there.

    Well we don't really know that because anyone who does take a hatful of wickets doesn't get picked.

    **Official** County Cricket 2016

    Durham had not been relegated before the Evil Corrupt Bastards shafted them, they were the only team that had been in the top flight since it split into two divisions. Have Durham CCC Been Shafted By The ECB? - Eximo Sports Project And of course Marc wouldn't see it relevant when Warwickshire...

    **Official** County Cricket 2016

    You might want to shut the **** up until you're know what you're talking about. Although given you are moving in on 60,000 posts that advice may be a little late. The ECB made it part of Durham becoming a first class county that they HAD to build a suitable Test venue and stage Test matches...

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/oct/03/durham-relegated-financial-struggles#comment-84552076 You can see from the comments my sentiments are mirrored by the overwhelming majority of people. This is an absolute disgrace. It will be interesting to see how many pundits, professionals etc...

    **Official** County Cricket 2016

    Durham's debt is peanuts compared to Yorkshire. Durham have done exactly what the ECB obliged them to do. Then found themselves in a situation where they have a big stadium but have to bid an absolute fortune to stages matches in the hope that it pays for themselves. And then they get stuck...

    **Official** County Cricket 2016

    What an absolute ****ing disgrace ECB. Go and **** yourselves and shove your competitions up your arse. I will not be following domestic cricket again in the foreseeable future. The only team that hasn't been relegated and they get double ****ed for doing everything the ****ing wankers at the...
