    Sports that you've learned to love later in life

    It's not that high scoring sports (looking at you here basketball and Aussie rules) are necessarily worse (or better) than lower scoring ones, I just think what one is raised on plays a massive part in determining one's preference though. Being raised on association football, which is...

    You're just being silly now.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Reckon Wood plays if fit, tbh. Jofra too, but the idea of him being fit for tests is almost chuckle worthy in and of itself nowadays. EDIT: Or what morgs just said.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Yeah, it's a noodle scratcher. It's not even like the selectors can argue "Well, Jimmeh isn't suited to Australian conditions. We're building for The Ashes. & twirling. Always twirling." because Woakes is far worse away from the green, green grass of home. Reckon it's purely a birth...

    Lions tour 2025

    Tis been bumped up to five years now, tbf. The "project players" previously so beloved of Scots and Irish provinces seem to have dropped off a cliff since.

    What have we learned from the 1st test?

    -Both sides' batting > their bowling -Indian fielders can't catch for toffee -Bumrah is awesome but looked to be blowing out of his arse in the second innings -Pant is a generational talent and I'd like to have his babies -Duckett is nudging world class just now -Woakes looks short of a gallop...

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Huh. Only one of those I could've named was Kohli, because (unless I'm barking completely up the wrong tree) Davey Warner also got twins tons for the winning side. Pant not even the first keeper to have the distinction.

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    It's probably happened more than I imagine, but tonning up in both innings and still ending up on the losing side must be fairly uncommon.

    Huh. Suddenly he's on a hat-trick. Reverse jinx duly applied.

    Lions tour 2025

    Apropos of this, is Harry Potter (ex of Leicester and born in Wimbledon, albeit raised in Oz from the age of 11) likely to get a gig for the Wobblies?

    Lions tour 2025

    Well, it's not in itself, but Hansen was a Brumby for about four seasons and never quite nailed down a starting spot for them even, so it's a fair guess he had a lot of wings ahead of him in the Wobblies pecking order. That being so (with the qualifier that I haven't heard him say anything on...

    Don't think my round 1 pick has aged very well, tbh.

    Lions tour 2025

    I mean, I wouldn't say anyone isn't a real anything, because I'm not a **** (or at least not that much of one) and I don't think I'm policing national identities, anyone can feel a connection to anywhere they have links to, but the fact that Hansen represented Aus at U20 level would suggest he...

    Lions tour 2025

    Fair enough, but there's Irish and there's Irish, isn't there? Legally speaking I'm Irish, hold the passport and everything, but I couldn't with a straight face claim to be as culturally Irish as someone who was born and raised there.

    Lions tour 2025

    "Tradition" is likely the correct answer, yeah. It's the last of the great tours in any commonwealth(ish) sport now, isn't it? In League we barely even get an Ashes nowadays (literally can't remember when the last one was), never mind any tour games against clubs/county select XIIIs; in cricket...

    Lions tour 2025

    It's definitely possible. Be interesting to see if Los Pumas or Les Bleus manage the round ball/oval ball double first. Smart money must be on Johnny Frog, but everything looked set up for them in 2023 and look what happened there...
