Yeah

Probably good in the long run in that in precipitated a change in the coaching set-up but still...

Shame we weren't playing like this 12 months ago

It's just as an extra option really. Plus both Butler and Bairstow are excellent fielders.

Not even convinced he watches us as surely that in itself would suggest more caution on the predictions front

Maybe they did [/wolfy]

Easily. He's easily good enough to play as a specialist ODI batsman if they fancied having Bairstow in the team too.

Hope you're right tbs

Did anyone see this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/35482072

Given we've only scored 6 (YES, FUCKING SIX!) away goals all season (Sunderland have scored 15, Villa 10) then a draw would be agreat result.

You see the Mankad by the Windies in the u19 World Cup btw? Fucking shocking Hope they go out in the quarters after that

Yeah, probably more realistic though.

Stop chipping off, you two

If we can't finish above Narge and the mackems then we'll well and truly deserve our fate. Not sure we will finish above them mind

Aye, it's like arguing that stalking Beyonce (or Denise Welsh) is showing ambition

Yep

You couldn't make this shit up

Fargo is mint. Loved both seasons

Heard about that this morning. One of the things I like about Khan is how he was prepared to go over to the States, learn his trade and he's never ducked anyone. The likes of Brook and Frampton talk about being superstars in their division but they've both fought once in the USA. Also think Khan's style is much better suited to the more cautious, focussed since he's gone over to Golden Boy. Under Freddie Roach he got involved in street fights which didn't suit his style and exposed his suspect chin.

The crack about the Scottish borders is quite funny given they're much closer to Wales than we are to Scotland.

:lol:
