If it’s doing stuff for Luis Reece, it should also hopefully suit a bowler like Holland. But really this is pathetic. From what I’ve seen the pitch isn’t doing much at all.

33-4 today. Potentially the hour that we threw promotion away. Really poor stuff.

Not even going to get 4 bonus points. Only scored 6 runs in the first 7 overs

No he’s doing the opposite because he knows he’s screwed if he stands down. He is also the image of Ukrainian resistance, I can’t imagine we’d support that and what we and the Americans say matters. A few of the people around him are obviously very corrupt, handing out drone building contracts to their own companies that were started only a couple of weeks before. It’s ironically very Russian (or UK March 2020).

Yup, sadly coming at exactly the wrong time on the frontline too. In fact they think the two could be linked, the Zelensky faction consolidating power over what will prove to be a bad next few months. Ukraine gotta stay the distance if they want to eventually join the EU, which would be a good outcome.

Misleading stats when you’re chasing the game. Best team won but the game was a lot tighter than the stats say

The way it’s been falling for us, the Germans will beat the Spanish tomorrow

Not interfering with play so it doesn’t matter. If it were Toone then it would be

About as stupid as the German gal pulling the hair the other day.

this is a carbon copy of the men last year. Dreadful and undeserved yet pulling it out the bag. Italy have nothing left so we’ll win 3 or 4-1.

https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2025/07/22/7522951/ My Ukrainian friend seems pretty upset by this as do a lot of the sensible ones on X. Last thing Zelensky needs to do is drive a division in the country.

There are tricky things and then there is trying to understand the American political system.

Another oddity is that the Raglan Road pub has been raided many times, which is odd as it seems like an unremarkable Irish bar both inside and out but there must be something sketchy about it

Liam’s voice has been great for a few years now, gave up the cigs and took up running, seems to have done him a world of good. Seems a lot less uptight too, everyone just having fun, maybe they just grew up.

Not liked her since her red at the World Cup, terrible attitude.

Is Lucy Bronze always this much of a thug, she’s just going around kicking Italians haha

So 93 from 14 overs to get the extra bonus point. I don’t think it’s worth going for it to be honest. Get to 400 before 110 then see if we can get up to 600 hopefully before tea, then declare.

Rehan also isn’t a golfer and Bethall is (no that isn’t a joke).

Yes it’s a must not lose. It’s doing bits off the pitch now so having three spinners will be a godsend. We just need the runs to put the pressure on.

If we won this we’d be around 50 points clear of 3rd with 4 games to go. You could then afford to draw every game, even lose a couple provided it’s not too catastrophic. That’s how big this game is.

Kookaburra ball on a pitch doing little but spinning? I think 450+ is a minimum.

Yesss! Now make it big!!

Can see why we batted first now, there’s a lot of turn.

He needs to make a massive score, not just 100 and out. Bat out the day, double it up etc. But yeah from what I’ve seen he makes batting look very easy.

If it’s any consolation, apart from Hull, you’d say Patel and Budinger are our two least reliable batters in the team. Just hope these two can see off the new ball and get in, plenty of runs to be had if so.
