    Yeesh. Collapsing in a heap.

    Ugh.

    ***Official***Match #25- England vs Sri Lanka- October 26th-Bengaluru(D/N)#BottomDwellers

    Couldn't quite get why Ward was going on about Stokes being in trouble if Anglo has got it to come in. Rather ignored the obvious point that it pitched a good half foot outside leg.

    Other stuff

    I'd turn the clock off until the ball's in for a start. Pretty sure that would cut back on the fannying around. Oh, and start to call crooked feeds too. Similar to rucks though, reffing them isn't an exact science. There'll always be an element of interpretation except in the most obvious...

    Well, from a strictly logical perspective, Mbonambi actually saying it doesn't require any assumptions based on the extant evidence. Curry hears himself being called a white **** by Mbonambi, Mbonambi does not deny accusation, simplest inference is that he said it.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Bit of a kick in the nads to Willey (pun intended) given he's actually in our current ODI squad. Also: Jonathan Bairstow? La-di-dah. Literally never heard called that before. Why not Joseph Root, Christopher Woakes, Benjamin Stokes or Oliver Pope too then?

    Semi Finals

    True, but the simplest explanation is that Mbonambi actually said it though. I mean, I'm no linguist but even if he said it in Afrikaans ("wit kont", if Google is to be believed), Curry would likely have understood the gist. That's not to say that he did say it, in fact the audio probably...

    Semi Finals

    From that it really doesn't sound like he's yelling abuse at someone, rather barking an order to defend. It might boil down to what standard of proof the authorities apply. If it's "beyond a reasonable doubt" then there's no way Mbonambi will be found guilty, and, for me, even on the balance...

    What is the best ball to take a wicket from a non regular bowler?

    Think Rahul Dravid definitely qualifies as a part-time part-timer. Here the great man nabs Saeed Anwar (on 95) who tries to monster an offie that leaves him just a touch:

    What is the best ball to take a wicket from a non regular bowler?

    He got two, actually. Speaking of bowlers with two test wickets, I give you Damien Martyn at the WACA bowling a well set Bob Key through the gate with a little pearler of an inswinger:

    The Final

    NZ marginal favourites in the UK at least, which seems about right: extra day recovery and far easier time of it in their semi. If one's looking for a value random punt though might be worth sticking a couple of quid on Arundell for top try scorer. He's three behind Jordan, but the 3rd place...

    Semi Finals

    We lost essentially for two reasons on the night and (arguably) two reasons that existed beforehand, but the latter inform the former. On the night: 1) Genge and Sinckler were pathetically overmatched and had their heads pushed out their backsides 2) Pollard is a better place kicker than...

    Nah, **** off. Not having that. If one can't appreciate a game like that one's missing something pretty fundamental about union.

    Semi Finals

    Hard not to think Genge and Sinckler have cost us that. Much, much better showing than I thought though.

    Bugger. That is all.

    It's been coming. Big ten minutes this.

    Semi Finals

    Our scrum has gone completely to hell since we took the old blokes off.

    Semi Finals

    Good spot from the ref, because initially I wondered how the feck we'd got a pen from that. Been about as good a half as I might've dared to hope for. It's the hope that kills you though.

    Semi Finals

    Billy V looking like a bloke who wasn't ready to come on. Also looking a tad well fed, even by his standards.

    Yeah, it's one of those calls that'll be called genius or madness, depending on the result.
