That one's gone mate!

Really? Maybe I don't know about their signings to play with Sargent but better than anyone's?

Winners - Liverpool Rest of the top 4 in order- Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea Relegated - Sunderland, Burnley, Wolves (nearly tempted to put Brentford given how many players and the boss they've lost) Surprise package - top 3 to be separated by only 3 points at end of the season Top Goalscorer- Haaland (28) Player of the season - Reijnders or Salah First managerial sacking - Scott Parker

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/aug/06/chris-woakes-interview-dislocated-shoulder-england-cricket-test Back to discussing normal cricket. What a fighter Woakes is! The bit where he describes getting treatment in the immediate aftermath sounded excruciating!

Why Norwich? I think they'll be around 9th or 10th and have stints at threatening for playoffs. But there are stronger teams I'd say.

It's not the biggest fee we could have got but I suspect getting his wages off the books will be more beneficial for us. Good luck to him. Thought he could do better than Turkish league but so be it!

Making light work of the chase nonetheless...

National rail commentary at this rate too

Is there not a better camera angle that doesn't have the view of the stumps/wicket covered by the umpire Can't see any lbw shouts!

Sounds like it's heading that way with the expansion after 2027 or 2028.

Is today's game on YouTube?

Think they face RB Salzburg or Club Brugge, so much tougher!

Wasn't that Jamie Lawrence?

Hamza should be absolutely nowhere near it.

Wait til he's sold on deadline day to someone like Fulham

Man City u23. York. Mansfield. That's their pre-season they've had. The latest one vs Mansfield being on 26th July. Even with the off field issues, that's a terrible preparation for a gruelling and lengthy Championship season with a thin/thinning squad. If we don't win on Sunday we might as well call it quits.

It's really frustrating isn't it Krishna was serving up some absolute rank deliveries but then actually got some pretty big wickets at times!

Combined XI from the series? Jaiswal Duckett / Rahul Gill Root Brook Stokes Smith / Pant Jadeja Bumrah Siraj Tongue

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/eng-vs-ind-5th-test-the-agony-the-ecstasy-56-minutes-of-test-cricket-at-its-most-glorious-1498015 Great article here encapsulating the morning and the series. Despite the above, it's still hard to truly put into words what this series this summer has given us all. And what it's given to Test cricket's reputation too.

Rahul too potentially.

Do you think Ahmed will go?

Already?! How so?

I can't believe it got so close. How's everyone's heart rate doing Brilliant series. One for the ages and if anyone ever needed to understand why test cricket is so popular, enjoyable and entertaining and HAS to remain so, these last 6 weeks have been it. More twists and turns than an epic roller coaster. And that's the beauty of it. I know there's been some back and forth sometimes but we're all friends here at the end of it

CHRIST!

Bazball vs Aus. That'll be some contest if England connect. If they don't, it'll be lots of low scores...
