How the hell does Kane not get an assist for the 2nd goal tonight?  Presumably the fact that Alli took two goes to score it, but still ridiculous.

Technically the right decision with regards to FPL but Kane's killer pass made the goal plain and simple. Without technicalities though we would have a lot of arguing!

I'll be amazed if we win an away series against anybody bar the minor nations. On the other hand, I'll be amazed if we ever lose a home series.

Problem you have is, and it's not just limited to us, all the major cricketing nations tend to have their own area of expertise.

Australia = pacey, bouncy wickets. They have the bowlers to exploit this and their batsmen are used to it. Give them a swinging ball under cloud cover and Steve Smith looks about as good as I am. And I'm shit.
India/Sri Lanka/Pakistan = Dusty, dry, spinners paradises. I think I read somewhere that India haven't won an away series in about 10 years, yet rarely lose at home. I wonder why...
England = Green, wobbly seamers. Look at Anderson/Broad/Woakes - up there with the best swing bowlers in the world. Our batsmen can play anything seaming off a length at 80-85mph, but shove it up their noses at 90+ and they're shitting themselves. To be fair, I would too!
South Africa = Same as Australia but their main issue is that they don't pick the best 11 players. Granted, neither do we, but their quota system royally screws them over.
West Indies = When they can get their main men to play Test Cricket, they have a shot. Unfortunately, just not good enough but their pitches are very much like Australia.
New Zealand = NZ are the only conundrum. On their day they look brilliant in most places (except the sub-continent), but they've been off the boil for so long now...

We'll always win at home because we're the only nation that plays on green seamers so naturally all the test pitches are like that. I know the CC has tried to fiddle with the rules to make spinners but that isn't working. There's no point trying to make roads or hard, pacey wickets because if you do, it pisses down and all the work is ruined. You want to make more fast bowlers, preferably ones that can swing it? The ECB and Counties need to accept two things:

1. Our counties play FAR too much cricket a season.
2. Accept that young pacemen growing up are going to concede runs when they get it wrong. Deal with it. Don't do what they did to Steve Finn and ruin his action because his economy rate was too high.

If I'm honest, I think we have too many counties. The Aussies and Kiwis have 6 teams. The South Africans have 6 franchises made up of 13 teams. When the 13 teams play separately, their FC games are 3 days long. End of. The Indians have 28 teams but play a maximum of 9 first class matches a year. We, on the other hand, play 14 FC games across 18 teams. That's a ridiculous amount, plus OD and T20 on top. It's too much.

South Africa tend to win more key test matches/ series overseas than most though?

They've won recent series in NZ, Australia and Sri Lanka where conditions haven't necessarily been familiar.

Jurgen Klopp has suggested he could step down as Liverpool boss if he was to win silverware with the club: http://skysports.tv/7RTfb2
More likely gets asked to walk as we are not winning silverware when we can't defend

This.... wonderful to watch but what is his legacy going to be?

when does the LMS start i think there is 26 teams in it and only 26 game weeks left


I think it starts gameweek 14 which leaves 2 teams for the final gameweek if I understand correctly.

Unless Vardy has a blinder I fear I am going to be sent out of the cup by the "average" team Sad

Great start.

So sad to see both the West Indies and Sri Lanka play so poorly.

With the administration of the game in both situations, improvement does not seem likely in the near future.

I understand you only had five for the Ivey H2H league. Are you happy to play the season out as a five or do you want to redraft as a group of 6 or more if a suitable time can be arranged?

Would have loved to have more than 5 but I'm going to find it tough to make it for a mid week re draft. Season starts on Friday I think.

5. £30 Cups package (open to all)
Open to all comers. Again the cups have a lot of variance. There will be a Champions League (£15), an FA Cup (£10) and a League Cup (£5).


Do we sign up separately for the Champions league (15), FA cup (10) etc or is it an all or nothing deal?

I love Matic.. pay them the £50m even at 28.

Unsure about a paying a similar fee (£48m Has been mentioned I think) for Peresic tho. Also 28.




Matic any day.

I think having two genuine all rounders in Ali and Stokes means England can think outside the box a little bit.

Heard Atherton talking about Ben Foakes being the 'best wicket-keeper in the world'. No-one could argue that Bairstow is a genuine test batsman who would more than get into the team as a specialist. I think his technique and ability to be flexible in the way he approaches batting makes him an ideal #3. Can dig in, can accelerate, good against both pace and spin........ just a tremendous batsman.

What about dropping Dawson for the 'best wicket-keeper in the world' ( not seen too much of him personally but Atherton is a pretty shred journalist in my opinion) and playing YJB as a specialist batsmen at 3, Ballance at 5, Stokes 6, Ali 7. Think the team would be far better balanced?

This.....

Not too sure about Balance though.
