We did last season, he couldn’t have looked less interested!

I think there definitely is a new generation, they’ve just been blocked of opportunity by loyalty to some of these lot.

Worst bowling changes I’ve ever seen taking the spinners off

This was the best day. It was all those years of smugness and abuse from glory hunters at school getting their faces rubbed in it. Of course the next 18 months was wild but still.

It shows how much we messed up in 2022/23 when I think that we’d be ok going into the prem with Jakub as our first choice keeper.

Only recruiting managers/players from certain agencies seems like an act of self harm, is it common in the game?

Not being funny but of course he’s going to have a better win % than them. Doesn’t mean he’s a better manager.

Mason Greenwood on loan if OGS comes in.

Aussies can go into the last game v Scotland knowing exactly how many they’d need to win by to send England home on NRR (provided Scotland beat Oman).

I know it’s small but we must have the loudest and most devoted fanbase?

Don’t get why Kimber didn’t bowl last night, the spinners were the best bowlers for both teams. One or two overs instead of Currie couldn’t have been worse.

Just watched the highlights. Iceland’s goal was superb build up if you ignore the terrible goalkeeping. It really doesn’t bode well even if it was only a fitness exercise, it’s not great for the confidence and matches some of the results of the past couple of years

Really missing Scriven I think

Just put £5000 on Kjetil Knutsen so hopefully he’s the favourite now and Rudders gets on the phone.

Lovely stuff, now Pakistan to beat India and Pakistan and USA to knock India out on net run rate

Remember this is just the prelude to Scotland v Namibia

Gous played for Sileby town in 2019

We’re stacked in attack but I worry about the defence. Several of the stronger members of the team over the past few years are over the hill, and the squad just doesn’t have the depth of recent tournaments.

Very funny

Biden doesn’t stand a chance in November. His speech is declining (I know he had difficulties anyway) and he has aged so much in the last year. Trump being coherent will be enough to win it.

No Madders in the squad according to Ornsstein

Ancelotti does have a philosophy, it’s more psychological than technical though.

Hmmm not sure given the way some people are drawing their lines. Macron especially seems on a wrecking mission to put us at war. Terrifying as he doesn’t have children either.

What are the chances that NATO actually sends fighting troops in the end?

I reckon Hull gets an England cap in at least one format before the end of the year.
