    Match #42- Super Eights, West Indies vs England (N), Darren Sammy Cricket Stadium, Saint Lucia-- June 19th- Group 2

    Wouldn't have happened under SR Waugh. Some of us still remember the 99 WC group game where you chaps tried to nurse the Windies through to the Super 6s by chasing 110 very, very slowly so you would carry through the two points you'd won against them rather than the two you lost v NZ. Blatant...

    2024 Olympic Games

    ****ing hell. That's like taking an eye out, losing an ear and smashing your front teeth whilst combing your hair.

    Official Rugby Thread

    It's a self-imposed wound though, tbf. RA just needs to get real and select the best Australian-qualified players regardless of where they play their club rugby. Saffers do and it hasn't done the Boks any harm, has it? Fair to guess union's a far bigger deal in the Republic than Oz too.

    I actually broadly agree with your point, but currently:

    The Golf Thread

    Not quite up there with Van de Velde at the 99 Open or (surely the field leader) Norman at the US Masters in 96, but still a bottle job for the ages. Still only 35 though (Faldo was 38 when he won his last major) but it's ten years now since Rory claimed one, so yeah, dunno.

    Do tailend runs affect your cricketer rating?

    It's one of those issues that probably doesn't matter when one's hypothetically assessing the merits of two ATGs. If I selected (say) CEL Ambrose ahead of GD McGrath it wouldn't be because Sir Curtly was a 9/10 and Narromine's leading chunterer was an 11. However when actually selecting an XI...

    Players with no peak

    I was gonna suggest Lord Gah. Average settled at 44.53 after 21 tests and ended up at 44.25 after 117. Highest 45.71 and lowest 40.94.

    England team selection T20 World Cup 2024

    Jacks and Livingstone absolutely stealing squad places at the mo. There's always the argument their slow stuff elevates them over Duckett, but Malan's leggies (and Root's offies, if it comes to that) compare pretty favourably with Jacks's efforts with the ball thus far.

    Wales are very much in a transitional phase (read: are a shower of sheep ****) just now so think yer Wobblies should get a couple in the "W" column there at least.

    There's a Twitter account called Full-kit Wankers that does some good work in this field. Like this, um, gentleman who got married in full Gooner attire: Or, the wankers' wanker himself:

    Well only is as much as Worrall has an English father and an Irish mother, not vice versa as in Eoin's case. :ph34r:

    Well he might be 57, but he's still Mike Tyson. He connects and it's red rover for Mr Paul. Looks in pretty decent nick from his training clip:

    England players and selection discussion thread

    See what you mean, but we've picked umpteen Anglo-Aussies over the years. None of whom have been that fantastic, now I think about it, but that's for another thread. My take is it'd be a wee bit arbitrary to exclude him on the grounds he was good enough to actually get a gig for our criminal...

    Leading players who had a disability etc (e.g. Len Hutton's arm)

    Bloody hell. I realised he was short, but not that short. I thought he was Dave Boon/Mushfiqur Rahim kinda height.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Well there's this lad Anderson from Lancs; expect him to get a gig come the first test.
