Very quietly nails then.

That'll be their thinking, but I'd rather that few tests was after he'd proven his body won't break down by playing a couple of championship games before tests, there's 5 of them so no need to rush. Who'd he come in for is another question, Edgbaston is Woakes' home turf, so I would assume it'd be Tongue, unless you go with no dedicated spinner and use Root, maybe Bethel comes in for Pope as well, be a bit of a surprise as Pope's seriously in the runs just now (got an absolute jaffa, second innings). Then there's also Wood, who's hoping to be fit for the 5th Test, nice problem to have I suppose.

Christ !!!!!

Even I wasn't middle aged in 1972. Yes and Pink Floyd for me prog-wise around that time. Never heard of Aphrodite's child.

I would hope Archer has at least one more county game before he comes in tbh even if deemed fit he must be undercooked to play a 5 day test. Not sure how you'd change the team at the minute tbh.

That's another thing, we managed for once!, to skittle the tail, well Josh Tongue did. Evidently Ducket nicknamed him "the mop" when they played together at county level because of his ability to get through the tail, something we've struggled with so far.

Per the bbc, they've won 12 of 14 tests when they've had to chsse in 4th innings under Stokes and McCullum. Also first team in Ist class history to win when other team has 5 centurions.

What a superb five days, the joys of retirement, roll on next week !!!

Evidently Man U have a 20% sell on clause with him so that'll drive up the price they want, he's also still got £9 Mill book debt from amortising his original fee.

Or suggests they don't want to sell, a counter would indicate they do.

Rayvin's running a ballot, give it a go, you may get in.

Some of us have been saying that's likely the case for a couple of weeks in the hope some would stop pissing their knickers.

He's missed some games mind:

Useless BBC, spelled Sunderland wrong

Russia will be happy as it'll push up the price of oil, just the financial injection their economy desperately needed.

He may (just may) have overstepped, MAGA were dead against getting involved. A pre-emptive strike against a foreign nation is not within Presidential powers and must be approved by Congress. I know the rules don't apply to this cunt but a lot were vehemently against this, we can but hope this time the rules may be observed and he could be in the shit. It'll get worse for him again when US servicemen, and possibly civilians, start to die as I am sure they will.

It had democracy and a secular president/society until 1953 when us and the yanks sponsored a coup to install the Shah into power, all to protect Britain's interests in the Iranian oilfields. The Shah of course was another despot, eventually deposed and the nutters in charge. There's no real unified opposition in Iran, if the mullah's lose power there'll be years of carnage, Persians (a slight majority) v Arabs v Kurds v a couple of other major factions I can't recall. Another shit show begins, Netanyahu has played Trump like a fiddle.

Which City are doing, they can because they actually suffered material loss from deals that were rejected by the PL, we haven't.

Not you, KD

It's still June, we have "some" money available but we don't have too much room to manoeuvre until July in PSR world. Chill ffs.

He'll probably elbow his way in at some point.

Chelsea getting hammered by Flamenco, Jackdon sent off for an absolute over the ball shocker. Splendid.

Cod willing

Still down, consortium of corrupt maghackers evidently.
