    IR Bell pretty little fifties thread

    A quick fire 87/from Glenn Phillips, that may yet decide the second Bangladesh v New Zealand is definitely worthy of an entry here!

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

    From what I saw, England looked a lot leggier in the last part of the game. Even so it is tough to be critical of them for yesterday.

    *Official* West Indies A Team Tour of South Africa- 3 Unofficial Tests, 4-day Matches- November 21st to December 8th, 2023

    Perhaps an odd 'staunch' Rangers supporter might think that way, but even so!

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    I will confess I wanted him gone after the WC. There was a bit of General Meltchett like behaviour where after the SA game, he still put the opposition into bat on a few occasions when he won the toss. Utterly brainless for me.

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    I would have said that it was a 'thanks' to Windies after they agreed to tour England in 2020 during Covid. I can see that there is more context for Windies who are trying to rebuild.

    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    I was perplexed to see Sam Curran in the squad after him being so utterly useless in the World Cup. I know that this is one of the most meaningless series that we could possibly play, from an English perspective, but even so we should be looking at players who can really be part of the setup in...

    How do Williamson/Root/Smith compare to Tendulkar/Ponting/Lara?

    Smith, Lara and SRT in no particular order.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Not that I've watched him much, I don't have TNT, and don't watch much on the box but is Onana one of these blokes who's meant to be good with his feet? I just can't help smile when certain clubs have gone for keepers for their ability with their feet but overlook key handling/actual keeping...

    *Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

    I find it hard to criticise either's overall record but criticism of Williamson's record in 'A' list seam/pace countries and Root's in Australia are hardly invalid criticisms agreed. For the match itself, clearly any runs NZ can muster together tomorrow will be invaluable. 20 or less Banglas...

    Football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Is every yellow card going to result in a sin bin, or will it be for offences that are 'orange'? Just don't know how it might work. Otherwise you are going to have a lot of teams down to a few players at different times. Not quite sure about this for football.

    In the first test match played since version 2.0 of this subject was launched, the inaugural test match entry goes to Mahmadul Hasan Joy of Bangladesh who scored 86 v NZ, falling to Ish Sodhi.

    *Official* Australia in India 2023

    SKY clearly has a poor record in ODIs and he's 33 years of age. Different gravy in t20 although the value of these games is next to nothing apart from for Indian money men. Not really surprised to see Australia fail here. Pointless series with many of their blokes clearly having a few games too...

    Everton look as though they can’t hit a cow’s a**e with a banjo. Man U look dreadful in possession.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Is it really that crazy that the non-league route is one that they take. There are always stories of insanely talented players at that level who miss out due to a multitude of factors. Having that talent must get you noticed at some point if a player has that focus.

    IR Bell pretty little fifties thread

    I was the only person running the board, and I needed to deal with issues relating to us having very out-of date software. I have to admit that I simply lacked the know-how to get that rectified although I did try and do so I just wasn't able to figure it out. I am hacked off about it and I did...

    IR Bell pretty little fifties thread

    By nearly all clarifications, this should be strongly out of scope, but I think a score of 77 from Public Enemy no.1 for many England fans is worthy of entry, from a meaningless 'legends' match!

    Where do you rank Shivnarine Chanderpaul in all-time best batsmen?

    Surely Chanderpaul is more a 'very good' rather than a great in all time terms. Don't know if he is even a Windies great given the players they had between the 50s to early 90s.
