    Atherton vs Stewart? Old school 90s english cricketers! Who was better?

    England opening batsmen since 1990 - a distinct "the wheel is forever" feeling about this list.

    *Official* English Football Season 2015-16

    No, for some reason I've never been tempted by that. Can't think why. Really should have stayed home today and watched the T20 instead. Only saving grace is it turns out that Sixfields is only 50' from my house. Seriously considering a bit of Dagenham & Redbridge on Tuesday night...

    *Official* English Football Season 2015-16

    Today's a bit of a rarity - a Saturday afternoon with nothing on the calendar, so time to check another new ground off the list. Sixfields, Northampton, which has the dubious honour of being the first place wher I've ever sat down and thought, "hmm, a little lacking in the legroom department in...

    Yeah, let me on too, please. Figure he could be pretty dangerous in school cricket next summer.

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2015

    More importantly, Oxfordshire took another step towards top spot of the MCCA Western Division with a third-wicket partnership of 98 between two boys with a combined age of 31 helped set up a 382-run lead ahead of the third day's play in the top-of-the-table clash with Cornwall.

    *Official* Fourth Test at Trent Bridge

    I think he meant flawed, rather than underperforming, in terms of being below-par.

    County Youth Cricket: A Blueprint

    This year we have three Oxfordshire players in the Bunbury squad for the first time ever - this is my 2010 side coming of age (see previous posts). This week, one of these boys is making his debut for Gloucestershire 2nd XI (he is 1* overnight with the task of saving the match against Glamorgan...

    Fine line between being aggressive and just being thick.

    It was probably high/umpire's call on height. Actually, did England review that or did the umpire refer it? How long have they been able to do that for?

    Can someone explain why we didn't check for LBW having established that there was no inside edge on it?

    Someone double check the laws on this one?

    It's been fairly challenging wanting all four teams to lose during these play-offs.

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    I don't think you can pick them as 3rd and 4th seamers in home Tests. I could just about buy Jordan as 4th seamer but Stokes is nothing beyond a 5th bowler at this level, and we need another out and out seamer for the summer. Whether this is Wood or Plunkett or another (although I'd imagine...

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    It had disturbing echoes of ODI selections of the 1990s. None of Stokes, Jordan and Moeen performed at a Test standard with either bat or ball in this Test series, and with Trott a passenger, you can't win a game with seven players.
