I think Downs would love to be the ones to put the final nail in Brahma's season.
Plus they're going for an undefeated season so there's still a bit to play for

Annoys me a bit the vastly significant differences in results when Tests are held only days apart.
Makes for an unpredictable series though

On the other side - having Savoy in Div 1 next year will be fun for a lot of teams and their supporters
Would expect some busloads to head up the highway next year - let's hope their bar is fully stocked to cater!

If WA Raptors don't get a result this week - they're down

Group C is a cracker

That was VERY impressive.
If England can get Jofra back for the Ashes next year all of a sudden the bowling attack looks a lot better as well.

Day 5 is going to be a cracker tonight - couple of early wickets makes it very interesting but currently England looking good

Absolutely

Is it a continuation of the previous series or just a one-off test for the Test Championship points?

Have really enjoyed the England v NZ test series - some quality cricket from both sides. Can't remember the last test series in England without any rain delays but it's made for 3 excellent test matches. Bairstow has really lifted and suddenly that middle order looks strong with Root, Bairstow and S...

Fair to say the 'Double' achieved by Madrid this year far outweighs the one achieved by Liverpool.

There's choking and then there's City this morning

Normally I wouldn't get too excited about beating the bottom side - but last night just felt really good!

Poland 2 vs Sweden 0 Portugal 2 vs North Macedonia 0 Strange decision imho that Sweden didn't bring on Ibrahimović with 10 minutes to go. So we made it. Oh well, at least I'll have one team to keep my interest in this WC. Who would you support if Australia drew Poland out of interest? Poland for me

Excited that Poland made it although our performance in major tournaments recently doesn't fill me with any great expectations

GIAE - Are the English boys homesick or are they just not very good at the moment?
Haven't won a test in a long time and about to lose the series to the WIndies

Bump
The Glimt continue on their merry way

It was a road - but both teams got to play on it so a draw was always likely to be the outcome. My issue was with the scoring rate of the Pakis - went at less than 3 an over for 2 full days despite only losing 4 wickets. That killed the Test (or at least any hope of a result for either side) but the...

Kohli
Anderson
Ashwin

He's not the best keeper in the country so he shouldn't play Test cricket anymore

Turns out it all happened back in 2017 - of which Cricket Australia knew about - and yet they still made him captain.

Complete and utter joke.

Hopefully it now elevates Alex Carey for a test debut this summer

You say it's pretty conclusive but you can't say why. Whatever you do, don't call your dog Kevin. Your bias is showing. I think the players he's accused of making the racist remarks who have since come out and said they have apologised to him for saying those things would show that at least some of...

We had some great battles with Raptors back in the day when they played at Trinity Gardens PS.
Good to see them doing well and hope they go ok in Div 1 next year

Poland to lose 1-0.
We love flogging the rubbish sides but traditionally struggle to score against decent sides

double standards/hypocrisy come to mind when referring to Hawksey

How is it hypocrisy when I agreed with him that we didn't win it in 50 overs.

Didn't win it in 51 overs either

I said the removal of the rule.
If 2nd leg was 3-1 it would have gone to extra time

The removal of the 'away goals' rule would have made it easier for AZ Alkmaar as they only needed 1 more goal to take it to extra time.
Good effort from Ange's lads to not concede in that 2nd half

Admins delete this topic please or at least mute these 2 from it

I'm really surprised the English blokes on this forum aren't more pleased. Yet to concede in the competition and thru to the semis. Tournament football is not about looking good - it's about results and at the moment England's have been almost perfect (the Scotland game the only blemish) I'd be on t...

I think they're a legit chance of winning the league - which would be the worst possible result - albeit an amazing one given the way it started

GIAE - what are your thoughts on Robinson getting stood down from the squad based on some tweets from 8-9 years ago (that he has since apologised for)? I personally don't agree with punishing behaviour from so long ago just because the nature of people's tweets would be taken so much more out of con...

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if this was covered on the news over the last 24 hours Heard on the radio there was a massive brawl at a girls junior footy game over the weekend. Apparently a 14y.o umpire was assaulted (as was his dad) according to the reports. Roo & Ditts had a couple of comments abou...
