I’ve tried not to comment on the independence stuff as it’s likely to derail the thread. All I’ll say is that goes against precisely the issues we’re discussing. Further retrenchment to borders, further splintering. Imagine Cardiff bay standing up to trump - I mean give your head a wobble...

It’s almost like post war Germany when they rightly had a period of de-nazification as the population was so brainwashed at the time. It’s like we need a truth and reconciliation period to remove the poison. Again this would be much easier in a different time but we now have the musks of the...

Agreed. They were warned, they’ve had overwhelming evidence ever since. But no who’s the guy for them Farage?!! The guy who smashed it up. But as you say it’s a global phenomenon, with people in the shadows pulling the strings and the idiots walking off the cliff like lemmings. I don’t see how...

Oh agreed but that’s also linked to a lack of preparation and focus on the hundred 20/20 shite

It’s the rational thing to do but it won’t happen because we have weak leadership and a brainwashed electorate

Other Nations are playing an updated version of the old game. Only England play bazball nonsense.

My word. This decision in retrospect just gets worse and worse. All the “project fear” stuff just looks more in hindsight like everything was completely underestimated. The “intellectual” wing of the Brexit vote was about a global, “sovereign” Britain. A free trading nostalgic shift towards...

I think one attacking opener is fine. I don’t mean bazball but more aggressive. Need to have a proper wicketkeeper. More fundamentally it’s the basics though. Proper test cricket techniques, match awareness and line & length. I sound like bloody boycott. I don’t want negative cricket. You...

Spot on their best did better And their worst did contributed a bit more. Aussies weren’t brilliant but they were intelligent and didn’t make lots of mistakes like dropping catches. I’m glad England lost last match it means changes will have to happen. Well done to Bethall and a strike rate...

Radical changes in structure of game. Binning the hundred, reforming central contracts. Sacking Baz. Focusing the setup on Test cricket and taking a Duncan Fletcher approach identifying players in county game with right mentality. Unfortunately retiring the likes of Wood and obviously binning...

Thanks for the update

Good start but I can’t help thinking it would be a different story if series was still Live. Wholesale changes need to happen but likelihood is they can sell a 3:2 as close when in reality they’ve been well beat

It’s genuinely astonishing how even someone with an IQ below 80 cannot see how this is beyond disgusting. But hey it’s an old right wing guy so it’s fair game. I’d rather be with the new arrivals in the trenches than these white fifth columns

That’s assuming mid terms happen and this Presidency is ruled by exec orders largely so won’t make much difference.

Someone has learnt their lesson.

100% papering over the cracks. This wicket suited a bazball style all in approach because it moved so much you can get a scratchy 30 or 40. I don’t take any joy in this win. The series is over it just stops the 5 zip embarrassment

That’s fair

I strongly disagree. You can be aggressive but still have a brain. Playing one of the all time greats with a reverse sweep when the ball is pitched in line with the stumps is dumb. When outside the line it makes some sense. It’s percentages, if he is to be a top player he has to add a little...

Harry Brook for all his talent should be dropped for the next Test. Absolutely disgraceful way to lose your wicket. Unforgivable. They need to radically reshape this team and some need to go back and learn how to play Test cricket. When you think back to the 90s that team was constantly beat...

No need to apologise you were right to challenge the point and it’s in poor taste. That doesn’t stop me having serious concerns about the prevalence of this foreign imported tat. It reminds of back in the day at the vetch when fans would try to take over the north bank and visa versa. It has a...
