    ***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

    Starc's action is closer to Johnson's than Hazelwood is to McGrath.

    Depends if Dhoni continues to keep in the same way he kept in England, I'd guess.

    British sports personality of the year

    Remarkably not close in the end - Hamilton 209,000 vs McIlroy 130,000. F1 always seems to get very well represented in SPOTY.

    *Official* English Football Season 2014-15

    Pretty much the same thing he did for the first, namely getting into a tremendously imbalanced body position that committed him completely to going to his right hand side and being entirely unable to work back/push back onto his left. Jak Alnwick did the same thing for Cazorla's first yesterday...

    Collectively some of the worst team defending and goalkeeping I have ever seen. No effort to close anyone down or stay with men, followed by Jones getting out the way. Now it should be obvious why Mignolet was #1 for so long...

    Matt Grimes to Swansea for £1.75m - allegedly. That would change things.

    Yeah, so, like I said... I am starting to think that Bopara made some kind of deal with the devil to the extent that he would never be allowed to actually finish a game.

    ***Official*** England in Sri Lanka 2014

    It's been a great effort from Ravi thus far to be fair - he has really started to look at home in this lower order / finisher role lately, particularly in terms of pacing his innings and remaining unflustured by run rates (unlike Stokes, for whom three dot balls was too much). Still haven't the...

    It's going to be a typical Bopara innings in a run chase, though, isn't it? Sparks of potential, a few top shots, that brief moment when you start to think that we might get there and then caught in the deep with the end in sight.

    James, I know I'm not very active at present but when we get this finalised, let me know and I'll chip in as required.

    Was there anyone watching that over not think that Stokes was about to get himself out?

    I haven't seen the boy play a great deal but from everything I've read he sounds special. I hope we get a stack of cash for him after he gets us promoted.

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2014

    Good to see Harvey Hosein make a good start with the gloves. It looks like Derbyshire are going to back him given that Cross has moved on, and he has played for England all the way through the age groups having played 1st XI club cricket from a very early age. In other news... Schoolboy, 11...

    NX Cricket or TCS are both paid apps but superior to - and more reliable than - CricHQ in my experience.
