Saw a piece on SSN saying that Stoke have narrowed the pitch for league games. Have a look next time they're on TV.

Never has the chorus been more apt..

Statement on Radio Leicester in the morning (around 7.10 am according to Twitter..)

County to stick with selection policy If we were able to retain our top players, this attitude might make sense. But as things stand, our decline towards minor county status looks like continuing..

It wasn't that long ago that the fans (or at least the members) did own the club.

I bet Monty would've ended up with his best bowling figures of the season against us, if he'd been playing..

The problem is, the likes of Pietersen and Flintoff are injury-prone enough as it is without forcing them to play more county matches. There would have quite rightly been a national outcry if Strauss or another key England player had been forced out of an Ashes test because of an injury sustained in a county fixture. That's the reason central contracts were introduced, in order to manage the workload of international players.

Nadal & Federer may have something to say on that.. So did I..

Richard not Raymond..

I don't think it ever pretended to be a factual account of WW2. But it is an agreeable way to spend two and a half hours, and a welcome return to form by QT.

Two wins in two days! That rounds up an excellent sporting weekend.

All credit to him for being open and honest. We look forward to a time when his counterparts in football can do likewise.

Shameful losing in that way. Hop we're better on Tuesday in the floodlit (Sky?) match against Kent.

Depends on how much of the season McDonald plays. New, Cobb and Taylor will become more consistent with experience. But that still leaves another seven places in the team to be filled by players who may or may not be good enough for county cricket. Unless we manage to find a sugar daddy from somewhere, it could stay grim for a long while to come.

Absolutely hammered at Edgbaston today. I had an invite to go but turned it down. No Nixon, Ackerman or Dippenaar in the team. We seemed extremely uncompetitive.

:laugh:

Shocking collapse against Glamorgan today. It looks more and more likely that we'll win the wooden spoon this year..

So no different from any other TV "talent" act then?

I hope that's the wicket to be used for the Test, especially if England still has a 1-0 lead..

Expect so, given that only SEVEN wickets have fallen in three days..

Monaco - What Do You Want From Me?

A man who lived in a block of apartments thought it was raining and put his head out the window to check. As he did so, a glass eye fell into his hand. He looked up to see where it came from, just in time to notice a young woman looking down. "Is this yours?" he asked. She said, "Yes, could you bring it up?" and the man agreed. On his arrival she was profuse in her thanks and offered the man a drink. Because she was very attractive, he agreed. Shortly afterwards she said, "I'm about to have dinner--there's plenty. Would you like to join me?" He readily accepted her offer and both enjoyed a lovely meal. As the evening was drawing to a close, the lady said, "I've had a marvellous evening. Would you like to stay the night?" The man hesitated then said, "Do you act like this with every man you meet?" "No," she replied. "Only those who catch my eye."

A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three very large, leathered bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's milk and then he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either, he just backed his big-rig over three motorcycles."
