England Cricket chat

Well it was Smith that beat us basically, sure they have a decent bowling outfit but it boiled down to Smith.

In all honestly if you had said to me at the start of the summer that we’d win the WC and lose the ashes but dramatically put up a fight for the latter I would have taken it.

Ok next, Rugby World Cup starts in 12 days, what a year of sport, phew

Once they are on Imgur, select that photo, & on the right hand side of the page a selection of Links will appear.

You want the bottom one, which is headed;


Linked BBCode (message boards)


Just C & P the Link underneath that onto here, job done. Even I can manage that, so it can't be hard. (There's probably a much easier way, but you'll have to wait for some clever to come along & explain that).

You always managed to upload photos to blonde when on your travels, what has changed?

I lost photobucket basically they wanted to charge me a stupid amount of money. The imgur app (as opposed to the website) doesn’t have the same function and provide forum codes on the right as you mention. When I try to click that on their web version it just just puts me back to the app which doesn’t have that function.

Maybe if I delete the app?

Well for me, yes, I don't use Apps, I just the website.

If not, if you can PM or e-Mail me the photo, (probably not) I'll upload it for you.

I had the same problem with Photobucket, once they started charging I swapped to Imgur, & it works just fine for me. Red-Dog promised to teach me a better way, but after the 29th line of instructions, I fell asleep.

Ok sussed it now. Am sure the ‘website’ works. Because I always use my iPad that is a ‘mobile website’ which now doesn’t work for pics. Any idea how I can just use the normal website and not the mobile ‘website’ from an iPad? I appreciate your IT skills are probably no better than mine and the answer will probably need to come from someone else 

[Woodsey]

If this works I’ve sussed it....



Nope lol

[tikay]

Err, this......

Probably fair enough though? 

Hope you prove me wrong 

[tikay]

My IT skills are close to zero. As in the wrong side of zero.

Well it made me realise I’m not much better

Steve Smith is all I can say.......without him we would have won already. Pains me to say it but he is unbelievable batsman 

I wish Steve Smith (as well as the way cricket has gone in the short forms) had been around when I was in my pomp as a club cricketer. Any pretence of trying to look 'correct' could have gone out the window and I could have fully focused on smashing it about in any style necessary and just carried on stacking* up the runs.

*Some license on the word stacking

I was thinking exactly the same. My coach at school was very much in the 'get in line, show the bowler the maker's name' style of batting coach. Steve Smith would have driven him insane!

Not just batting. I used to get slated by the coaches at school for not being side on when bowling. Think I woulda been chucked outta school if i bowled like malinga or bumrah though

His quotes appear to have been taken from aninterview on Today on R4 this morning which dived into this.

Are you not just a bit uneasy about this?  I don't think the interview helped his cause; agressively raising your voice to one woman and dismissing another fairly offensively probably isn't the best strategy when you are trying to persuade the listeners that you aren't capable of domestic violence.  Expecting Boycott not to be beligerent in the circumstances is probably a stretch though. 

I'd be a bit meh, 20 years ago school before I heard the interview, but I don't really get why they made it a knighthood; there are lesser honours if you worry that the candidate might not fit the criteria for a knighthood.

Having said that, all kinds of scumbags get honours, but they are usually foung guilty afterwards.
