I'm really pleased to see Harmy back, and I hope Jones returns as well, genuine pace is needed at this level or unremitting accuracy-Mc Grath. I would have kept Collingwood as he can graft an innings out, and is a useful change bowler. I just hope KP can control his wilder instincts. Captaincy is a considerable burden, my son even at village cricket level always scores more when he doesn't captain. He says its very difficult to concentrate solely on YOUR batting. Cambsaint

If you are coming from the Midlands, then for the Cup Final we parked at a station on the Cardiff Merthyr line. There was a superb shuttle train service on this line, and it saved going into Cardiff. Be veryb careful of speeding in Gwent -I collected my only speeding fine in forty years of driving as I was late for the Cup final. Cambsaint

Rupert & Co saying the right things. Have I missed something? When did he say "I'm selling my shares and disappearing back to Gloucestershire to murder ducks and will never set foot in Southampton again." More seriously, he appears to have sold a partially proven and respected manager, got rid of a few poorly paid underlings, brought in a totally untried Dutch manager-a huge gamble-which may come off; and so far been totally unsuccessful in persuading much of the dead wood which the manager he appointed brought in, to forsake their grossly inflated salaries. We are still just as deep in the financial merde as we were when his henchman and turncoat partner bet the silver on a return to the Prem. Cambsaint
