    Best grounds to watch cricket

    Adelaide indeed looked like Australia's loveliest venue but then they bollocksed it up.

    Run Up to the World Cup

    I was being facetious (I would've thought the mention of Stevens was the giveaway?).

    Run Up to the World Cup

    If English groundsmen set green seamers England might just win. Dibbly dobble India and Australia out for 40. Get Darren Stevens in the team.

    Best grounds to watch cricket

    Durham's Riverside is pretty good. The view of Lumley with a full cricket field laid out is very picturesque - that is its biggest selling point. The main Pavilion is ironically more old fashioned than a lot of far older grounds because they have all refurnished. The main problem is the...

    Run Up to the World Cup

    When England get booted out I'm sure they'll blame the wicket like during the CT. I'm going to predict India winning the thing.

    Best grounds to watch cricket

    I second Chesterfield. I went to a county game there (Derby v Durham) in 2017 and it was idyllic. I have heard good things about Arundel and Southport. If Durham ever play an one-dayer against Yorkshire at a place called Gosforth (South Northumberland) make sure you go there. It is a lovely...

    Run Up to the World Cup

    I have a feeling it'll go **** up for England. The ECB have chucked all their eggs into one big ''must win the world cup in 2019'' basket. These things inevitably misfire, as they did in the champions trophy.

    *Official* Sri Lanka Tour of South Africa 2019

    When they start getting skittled for 70 you'll know Lewis is working his magic.

    It is a Jon Lewis inspired batting masterclass.

    Joe Root: Nothing wrong with being gay

    I don't see how anyone can judge this case until in possession of the knowledge of Gabriel's remark(s). Gabriel could have called Root a ''pansy'' for all we know!

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Post Anderson/Broad, they need your Stones and Woods to stay injury free, and your Gartons to come through. No doubt there is room for an Overton or Curran also.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    It now resembles a typical WI V England scoreline really, post WI's invincible period of course. Historians will now look back and go, ''hey that series was quite close''.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    True there are no speed guns but you are presupposing that he has just suddenly started reaching c.94mph in February 2019, despite being a first-class cricketer since 2011 (156 wickets)! Probably the fastest spell of bowling I have personally seen, which to my eyes was somewhere around the 94...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    The point I was trying to make though is that people here kept saying ''Wood was rubbish'' yet even the merest glance at his county form would have told them that he is indeed an extremely quick and high quality bowler who has not performed for England because he hasn't had a consistent injury...

    He has done that for Durham for years.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    I've been saying similar about Wood for years having seen him bowl devastating spells for Durham but you lot always claimed he was ''****'' and that I was talking nonsense.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    I once heard Flintoff describe Sobers as ''overrated''. In fairness he apoligised later when someone produced Sobers' stats, but I wouldn't say Fred knows much about the sport really.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    That is true. Marmite side. Incredibly inconsistent. They have been so for years really but it seems more so under Root's stewardship (I wouldn't be shocked if England flatten WI in the second test).

    ***Official*** County Cricket 2019

    Not to mention the usual Yorky politics in the Headingley members'. The fanbase hate Gale and Moxon.

    I think Yorkshire will get relegated.
