Did you read the ICC pitch monitoring process?

is it in the rule book?

Ive just had a quick look at the MCC laws 9.1 to 9.7 - couldnt find a thing about how pitches have to be prepared....lots about the pitch once the game has started but nothing prior...

Thomas Tuchel to replace him.....

"you'll never score alone"

1st test result was engineered to garner greater odds.....

^^^^^^^^^^^^

a little like the Indian team replacing an 'injured' keeper with a better gloveman but when it was time to bat in the 2nd innings, the 'injured' keeper who is the better batsman was OK to bat.....

no Bomber.....where are all the Poo fans with their claims of Man U VAR bias...perfectly good goal disallowed this morning....and BTW...no penalty either...

Langer is a hypocritical gnome

nahhhh...i reckon you are....given you choose what to share on here based on your Facebook comments....

^^^^^^^^^^^^

not necessarily.....by attempting to win, theres a higher chance of losing....

increasing funding to sign great players

given the woman's game in Adelaide is watched by family members and flies, where will this funding come from???

you still havent answered Coopers question...... what makes any of the following any better than what the Aussies did in Sth Africa??? Chris Pringle, New Zealand, 1990. Michael Atherton, England, 1994. Waqar Younis, Pakistan, 2000. Sachin Tendulkar, India, 2001. Shoaib Akhtar, Pakistan, 2003. Rahul ...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

yes...the pitch made it difficult for Australia to chase down the runs needed for victory.....

yes....the silence from Liverpool supporters is deafening....

did Clarke actually complain???

@ NOC
happy for you to have your opinion...as long as you understanding that in the scheme of things...its insignificant.

Might even open a nice bottle of wine to celebrate, 1986 was a good year apparently. ;-) do you really think this mans legacy will be defined by what .85% of the world...

only problem would be definitively adjudging 'intent'....

its easier if theres been no contact but if there is contact how does one decide what level of contact is enough to warrant a player 'diving'???

Probably not, so whilst we don't know as we are not on the training ground, it's a fair conclusion to draw that the foreigners have taught those cheats to dive. love the contradiction....since you admit that you dont know whats happening on the training ground, it would be an UNFAIR conclusion to d...

ahhhh...I can see what you did.... you want to change the conversation away from...."the naughty foreigners taught the English how to dive" to "the naughty foreigners do it more often" I happen to agree that its become more prevalent in the EPL as the game has gone global (movement of players/greate...

cause your assertion is inaccurate/wrong. weve already confirmed that English players were diving and subsequently getting a reputation in the First Division, prior to the ban on foreign players being lifted. This surely contradicts your statement that it was 'foreigners who taught them'... others m...

nah.....still dont buy it... maybe the link is the: * increase in popularity of the First Division/EPL * greater access to televised games * etc etc Either way the notion that diving for penalties is a purely foreign import should be dismissed for the empty generalisation that it is. Footballers in ...

nah...dont buy it...its always been there...

nevertheless, to learn something is one thing.....to chose to use it is another....no one forced them...except the time when Hoddle instructed Owen to fall easily in the penalty area...

Im pretty sure he's learnt from the best eg Young, Ali, Rashford, Kane and Vardy to name a few....

talking about Henderson...looks like hes caught the diving bug....

i think its important to respect/reflect the individual nuances of each sport....
