    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    I wonder what Gill would have done if India had won the toss. I think Woakes needs one of these 'almosts' with the new ball to be successful.

    It's not that unusual. And he did get Jaiswal in both innings at Lord's, iirc from that line of attack..

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Ignoring the penalty count, Sweden's 4-1 win against 10 person Germany and said's subsequent performance against France does put our performance against Sweden look a wole lot better than some people were saying at the time.

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Carter was actually pretty sloppy against Wales, but the match situation meant that it didn't matter, and obviously her performance in that game by-passed the typically hopeless commentators due to the scoreline. Shame, because she was pretty good in the world cup, but not now. Williamson...

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Yup, 2 tests from Wood this winter would probably be a bonus. He's 35 ffs, no wonder his body isn't up to it much of the time.

    **Official** English Football Season 2025/26

    Yeah, Everton had a terrific side who had just won the ECWC. They must have been appalled to miss out on the European Cup to the actions of some of the supporters of their nearest and dearest. And again when they won the league two years later. I suppose the thing about Luton and us was that...

    We finished third in the old First Division but English clubs weren't yet fully readmitted following the Heysel ban.

    **Official** English Football Season 2025/26

    Yeah, seems an eminently avoidable ****-up. Whereas 1991 was nothing to do with us.

    Jadeja to have a bowl at Stokes before lunch?

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Ah well. Bowled behind his legs according to cricinfo. Surely some mistake there.

    3rd Test (Lord’s) - 10 July to 14 July

    Maybe the six-ball was a response to the two scoops?

    Didn't Rob Key make a test double once? Explains a thing or two.
