  1. They should be because that is what they are.
  2. Apparently, the age of consent can still be 14 in the Vatican, as long as the girl is married and sex is with her husband! https://www.ageofconsent.net/world/vatican-city
  3. Sorely missed by the Scorchers last night
  4. Can only think of Sarah Palin as VP
  5. And Ball was awful. Hopefully, this will be the last time we see him playing for England.
  6. Just being courteous on Friday, cos of Oz Day, giving up 5 wickets to make it more interesting. Oz still nearly blew it then, and did yesterday, when we played our third team bowlers.
  7. Maybe we got a good result against Swansea after all
  8. I understand he has been rubbish in the BBL this year
  9. Please don't beat about the bush
  10. What about Hales at 3 (he was an opener and only lost his place due to refusing to tour Bangladesh) and leave Malan at 5? Not sure it is worth having Buttler and Bairstow in the test team. If he comes back, Stokes should be at 6, Bairstow at 7, Moeen at 8, with Broad, Anderson and another making up the numbers.
  11. Used full time in the A League now in Oz. Worryingly, there are still problems with interpretation by the VAR officials (there was a clear offside decision which was not given earlier in the season, which just gives credibility to the Danny Baker's of this world), but it will get better (and quicker).
  12. Must have been the crowd egging them on.
  13. I was talking to a friend of Alan Kennedy on Christmas Day. He said Alan was asked by Lawrie McMenemy to sign on to "get them out of the division". He did by taking them down
  14. There's already one when he comes on to the pitch
  15. Is it only me, but I am concerned about even having Hayden in the team at the moment. While I want to have a box to box midfielder, I think his priority at the moment should be covering the back four. I noticed a number of times him ambling back to cover when he was caught out of position, and he should have been the player covering when Perez was forced to do so (not that that excuses Perez for being caught out himself). He was the furthest forward when Joselu scored as well. He was very good in the Championship, but he seems to have the Tiote disease now of trying to do more than he is capable of doing, instead of just doing the simple stuff first. There is a reason why Arsenal were happy to let him go. Also, Merino is clearly one of our best players, but players who do clever flicks off the side of the boot better make sure they hit their man, or they end up looking very stupid.
  16. Even if he was free of criminal proceedings, which is unlikely, it is just not worth it with the Ashes gone.
  17. It is the same thinking again and again. Bouncy Australian wickets, so bowl short. Of course, not what the locals do, but that is what it says in the manual. Given that our bowlers are 10kph slower (at their fastest) than the Aussies, line and length must be paramount. Why do they keep making the same mistakes?
  18. That's a bit of a sad recommendation for a bowler
