Think there's more chance of Compton getting back in. Not that I disagree about the treatment of Carberry.

:lol:

It's been a problem since Strauss retired so it's obvious no one has fully staked a claim. As for a spinner, we need a consistent one before we start talking about match winners. As for keepers, I think Bairstow is good enough with the gloves and it's just a question of whether he can get the runs. Deserves his chance though as has been discussed. Butler's looked out of sorts for a while now.

That's a myth. It's perfectly fine to begin a sentence with 'And' (or 'But').

Aye, lets conjure some players out of thin air

Alreet, Pele

Used to play 5-a-side with Disco Des' cousin. I think we signed the wrong player.

Some good lessons learnt this series I think but it probably raised more issues that it resolved. Also, I see Tom Graveney has died. Was born at Riding Mill. Supposed to be a very elegant batsman although I only knew him as a commentator. Once saw him and a few other stars from years gone by at the lunch break during the Callers Pegasus International Cricket Festival in about 1990. Think Ray Illingworth, Fred Trueman, Denis Compton and Tony Lock were amongst the others there. RIP.

Because Gemmill's already written him off.

Well, he is your mate, so it's a given

Better than being famous for what Thatcher did though.

Aye, obviously well thought of by his media colleagues.

Thompers was from Co. Durham iirc. Just sayin'

The cornicing is to die for

It's so fucking corny it's untrue. The only good thing about it is the butler's ridiculously big ears.

:lol: Hand your cock and balls in on the way out, son

Although I haven't seen many period dramas to compare it to tbh. Either way it's absolutely abysmal.

Caught a bit of Downton Abbey the other week.. It's the first time I've seen it, It's like a parody of period drama.

Nicola Sturgeon moonlighting again I see

Was mentioned on SSN on Saturday was in the last 6 league games or something like that.

First two seasons he was excellent.

Impeccable judge of character
