Unless I’ve missed it on another thread, there’s a wildfire approaching (9miles) from a European city of 300,000 people. Which seems like quite a big deal?

It’s so stupid, I actually quite like him but he’s completely fecked if there. That and now Burnham taking over Labour will probably be the end of the Green’s resurgence for now.

Kelly’s not in the squad for tomorrow anyway.

My adopted team saints (used to live in Liverpool) are struggling this season. Never failed to reach the play offs but it’s great to see Wakefield do so well. That Jake Connor kick (albeit with the wind) was insane yesterday.

This reminds me of the Schumacher F1 era when it was so obvious who was going to win. Price has played brilliantly so far and finds himself 4-1 down.

Both Green’s were ‘rested’ and I think Alex might be secretly glad given his average & strike rate. Poor Hull is really struggling with his confidence. Looks like he needs a break. Why Holland kept banging it in I have no idea.

Lost the first 4 wickets for 22 then the next for 340 😂😂 Bailey’s opening spell was great but like @Bert said, you can be spilling so many chances. Just need to bounce back against the scum on Tuesday now.

Somehow we’ve managed to save our net run rate here.

Shaikh is great, great wrists, plays the ball very late, kinda reminds me of James Taylor against seamers.

Think Kelly is back for the next game.

The only glimmer is that the pitch has done sweet FA. Chasing has also worked so far but it’s gonna need someone to do something special for us.

Time this relic of past imperialism was put to bed. The athletes don’t care, no one wants to host it, the standard is poor etc.

LUCY PINDER’S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY

Bloody eck, we’re winning the lot

I want him to just stick with these young lads. He’s clearly a capable coach, he’s just a bit up his own arse, hence why none of us wanted him. But he could turn a few of these into superstars.

It’s not as if england haven’t been picking our players though, I just don’t think his average/technique is good enough for international cricket. Being at Hampshire is hardly going to help that cause either. I’d understand if it were a bigger county. Maybe he is just ready for a change/wants to be closer to family.

This is class, I’ve always liked him anyway and it’ll be interesting to see what happens when the first ‘crisis’ arises (he was great during the arena explosions) but honestly isnt it nice to a) have someone that isn’t a robot b) someone that actually gives off a vibe that the future just may be better.

This is someone that had an England lions cap at 18 though, and clearly is our future. Thornley truly was a product of the joke banter era, think Robbie Joseph too.

It’s a shame if he’s left because we couldn’t offer him enough money. I think having leaders like him around the club would be key.

To be fair our batting line up does look a bit light but if Shaikh is genuinely the real deal, we are all of a sudden massive contenders because the bowling line up is the strongest in the competition.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That may be the stupidest dismissal I’ve ever seen. Take a single you muppet.

Shaikh haters feeling silly now. Looks absolutely class considering he’s 20. Wonder how he’d go in the red ball stuff.

Seems he’s played the role perfectly. We just need to finish the job now.

Sibley playing for them so they should make the 150 before 50 overs!
