ahhh i watched it to see some decent cricket but after 2000 odd runs it got a bit boring :-)

yes it does, well did. we try to arrange it for everyweek. Its nothing serious, not league or anything, just a kick around

mods!!! sticky pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sticky please mods

i think last night could well be a point gained rather than 2 lost. Derby are on good form and passed the ball well in first half and we were lucky not to lose it when they hit the post. To play badly and not lose for us is a good point. QPR is a different matter altogether.

Right who is IN this week? Not bothering with the maybe list as no-one from it ever comes so if you are definately coming please say so. *sticky please mods* IN Justmike +1 Robsk +1 Barcelona MiniBarcelona +1 Gav

hard game that one, Derby are a good, strong passing side and made it difficult for us to break them down, plus they are on good form at the moment so a draw maybe a point gained rather than 2 dropped. Saturday is huuuuge now.

just got my ticket for tonight..COYR

i'll come work for you

haha why?

yes you heard correctly, he clearly has made a difference, that and maybe monty being dropped was the kick he needed. Impressed by Anderson today, deserved his wicket just before tea. The thing i am impressed with both Anderson and Broad is that they have consistantly bowled a good line and length and on another pitch else where would have had a hat full of wickets between them, just hope they dont get too downhearted about their efforts on batsmans pitches and carry this form into the home games v windies and then the aussies.

agreed, its been..well...boring. Thank god for the digicel girls :-)

his action is ok for me apart from when he releases the ball he is looking at the ground directly beneath him ala Anderson when he first emerged. If he can find a way to produce some of his good balls consistantly then yes, but on current showing id rather have Harmison. On the game itself, Monty has come back well, a good mix of pace and delivery, Anderson was unwell so i hope he is 100% today and we get the wickets early, if not, a draw and a series defeat it is.

here is a thought, instead of people moaning that they cant come on here on match days, why dont you just go to the game??

i do feel for Bopara but Shah has been on the fringe for a while and deserves a chance, not just one or two games here and there but a few back to back, give the selectors a chance to have a good look. My guess is they will play him in the 2 test v Windies here as well, if he fails then i guess Bell, Bopara or even Vaughn will be considered.

we win toss and will bat, Khan, prior and monty in for ambrose, sidebottom and bopara

they might just not like him :-)

dont get me wrong im a fan of Harmison, he should have played in the 4th test instead of Sidebottom imo but he is just 'out of favour' with the selection panel for one reason or another. Khan is very fast, tall hit the deck bowler, very much like Harmison

Khan, thats the chap.

i agree but id be surprised if Harmison is recalled going by what Flower said after the 4th test. I like the idea of Swann and Rashid too. I cant remember the name of the other young bowler that joined up with the squad but i wouldnt be surprised if he was included.

whats the team going to be then? 4 or 5 bowlers?

lol just a suggestion :-)

if demand is high we could always run 2 or more of this. The whole thing goes on from 1-17 with both day and evening KO times?
