Ha, Kyle having a tonk, wouldn't it be great if we say make 97 or so for 8 or 9 and then it rains for 2 days.

Biggest question now is will we make 50. We probably need to complain about the pitch, no way that Harmer should be on 11/5 on the second day of a match. Jeez I hate Essex and everything it stands for.

Well what a forlorn hope that was, Alsop and Rahane gone already either side of lunch and we're 5/2 again. The county must adress the problem of openers if we're ever to be anything like consistent again. If it means that there's no money for an overseas player then so be it. Markram was great, Rahane looks feeble against fast bowling and the new ball. And now Northeast has been stupidly stumped by totally not paying attention. 16/4 now, Rossouw comes in, hits four and then gets out next ball, do we have some sort of problem that is provoking our players into wanting to lose? That's it, Donald out to another, stupid, stupid shot. We'll not even make them bat again as likely as not. When's the next game ?

Why would anyone want to waste a million £ on him when they know full wel that he'll be available for free in a year or so and that we'll loan him out to whomsoever asks first?

Not all of them though. In last night's game one of the Americans' goals came from a corner that wasn't. The ball was put out of play by an American but a corner was awarded anyway. As the Chileans couldn't defend against centres for toffee it was a gift goal.

Well well, some seemingly excellent bowling by Hants pace men, aided apparently by a ball change, has limited the Essex FIL to 96. Now we need some really stubborn batting from our openers, need to see them both there at the close, although it's not likely to happen.

So, Essex now 6 down for 199, of which 5 are leg befores. Edit, make that 6 out of 7.

The same problem or one each ?

Ah but do they always annoy you. I mean today I'm hacked off about Hampshire's batting and Clermont's fly half but those are things that change all of the time.

Vince isn't really the answer opening in 4 day cricket. Far too impatient, if he gets bogged down he'll always try to drive one through the covers that he shouldn't.

Doubt it. The USA girls are by far the best side in the tournament. Their game even approaches real football at times. Mind you that's probably normal, they've all probably been through their collegiate system just to play football and get some sort of social sciences degree.

Another batting fiasco at Chelmsford again yesterday then. Why is it always at Chelmsford, seems to be virtually every season. Now Bopara will make about 350 and we'll lose by an innings. Obviously we haven't addressed to problem of openers again and whilst we persevere with these young chaps, who are hit and miss, the real batsmen at 3 and 4 will be exposed to the new ball on virtually every occasion.

But yes, you know very well that for every summer tranfer window we have to buy at least one player who is totally crap. Might as well go for some cheap rubbish from Jockland than waste some serious money as we did with Boufal (who's not crap, just totally inapt for English Football both physically and mentally).

Don't know where you got missile from. You can control a drone to do whatever you want, deliver Amazon packages for instance. Anyway the truth will come to light soon, the Gulf of Oman and Straights of Hormuz are under surveillance 24/24 365 by at least 8 nations. Someone knows exactly what happened and will let us know if it suits them.

Deniability? Getting a "false flag" limpet mine shouldn't be any too difficult; Getting a false flag drone launched missile wouldn't be so obvious. There are always bits left behind you know, bits that are identifiable quite easily down to the day and point manufacture

Perhaps a mine attached by a drone, would be theoretically possible I think.

A fair few of these matches aren't really contests. Sri Lanka looked to have Australia under control today but the Aussies are just showing that they can up the rate whenever they want with their top order. They'll make about 330 no doubt and bowl Sri Lanka out for about 260. England, Australia,New Zealand, India for the semis. Might as well cut to the chase and start on best of 3 semis .

Ahem; This is where it's at lads. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?61018-Women%92s-World-Cup#.XQS9BxYza1s

Pretty soft penalty that the French got yesterday evening ?? I mean the norwegian cleared the ball and just kicked the french woman a bit on her follow through.

I seem to remember they had a dodgy one dayer on the last day of a rain affected match for 10 points and we got nothing at all. Might have been a different year though. I remember being in Honiton for some reason or other at the time though.

Well yes but it's rubbish anyway so you don't really need to know what it says. Adrien Rabiot will not sign for a non-CL side no matter how much money they'd be willing to pay him (in this case a signing on fee of 15 million euros is cited).

Well of course it's BS, latest I heard he was even considering staying at PSG because his mum is such an a/h to deal with. Every time a club thinks they've agreed a deal with him she comes back with a new list of requirements to be tacked on.

Don't do that, his mum will come over and beat you up. Proper mummy's boy is notre Adrien. http://i.f1g.fr/media/ext/1152x648_crop/sport24.lefigaro.fr/var/plain_site/storage/images/football/ligue-1/actualites/veronique-rabiot-estime-que-son-fils-est-otage-du-psg-949712/25584279-1-fre-FR/Veronique-Rabiot-estime-que-son-fils-est-otage-du-PSG.jpg

Or even better do away with women only competitions entirely and have just mixed gender events. Let them see how it feels to take a 25-0 or so beating by a middle ranked men's side. Pay to be based on results of course. I agree entirely with equal pay for equal work but in this case it isn't is it.
