Who is saying he'd be a second spinner? Also, bits n pieces is a very harsh assessment, he's a genuine batsman who can bowl. Whilst in an ideal world he'd be our 6th bowler in ODIs/T20s, we don't have a Flintoff in the ranks. He had a pretty good tour of UAE and I'd love to see him come in...

Don't know why the hate for Patel, maybe some can't get over his bit of podge? Genuine batsmen who can bat 6 and offer some very useful 3rd spin options. Glad they dropped Morgan, he needs to go back to Middlesex, work on his game and get some runs so he can sort his head out. Happy with that...

I'm just concerned that the Pakistani batsmen will destroy Steven Finn's solid start to this career.

They have KP for that and one of the greatest OD batsman as their coach...

I feel a Titanic moment coming along (that is inevitable doom, not a romantic moment on a ships bow...)

Really? Is sports betting different from poker, etc? Not something I'm particularly interested in, but it's very easily available, both online and in betting shops. Completely agreed on the making tax out of it as well, prohibition on the "vices" is proven to not work and only creates crime...

They should have bought a better stapler.

Indeed, very interesting. Disappointing there seems to be a lack of evidence for the police to prosecute him. Mervyn Westfield jailed for 4 months for taking a payment of ?6,000 for an over in a match back in 2009. Pleaded guilty.

Most of them are non-sustainable and are being propped up by ECB moolah. 2 FC games a year isn't a lot, but FC viewing figures are a bit dead. Counties alone hate them enough, they bring in no revenue whatsoever. They'd be hard for Sky to sell ad space for, it's hard to justify any more than 2...

I've always felt Shah was more talented than his performances, but he's had his chances and his international career is over, I see no way back in for him.

I noticed something today that I thought is an area for improvement, high speed cameras for hotspot. It's difficult to pick up a little white spot when the bat is just a blur when there is such a high bat speed.

You're right in that it will get more accurate, but to suggest DRS will eventually be 100% (which is what you were insinuating and what I'm arguing against regardless of your whimsical side ;)) and that is inevitable is flawed. There will always be a margin of error in the ball tracking (though...

It's not a potential future for several reasons, not least because you'd have to have someone interpreting the technology, this is why DRS, or any similar technology developed in the future cannot be 100%, there is a human implementation of it in several aspects, from the people creating the...

Predict? If only we could somehow measure the distance the ball travels and somehow time how long it takes for the ball to travel said distance. I hear they've invented stopwatches, it's witchcraft I tells ya! We know the speed, could work it out on a bit of paper. It's not rocket science...

Yup, I'm all for giving him a chance against Pakistan in the 4 ODI's coming up (and 3 T20s), now is the right time, the perfect time really considering his form with the Lions and I'm sure it hasn't gone unnoticed.

:p It's a great weapon, in that it is so overpowered you need no accuracy to get a kill. ;)

Wayyy back? When he's been playing professional cricket for 2 years? Give him a chance, I think he's worth a shot, but be realistic in expectations. There's a big difference in hitting A team an county bowlers around and hitting the likes of Ajmal and Gul around the park. Completely agree...

Don't you go dissing Firefly mister! :p Though I suppose it was fairly niche, just frustrating because the River story was just at the beginning and is one of the greatest pieces of character writing I've ever seen. Father Ted was awesome, is still hilarious (better than Fawlty Towers, but of...

Not seen much of Season 5 (first two episodes I think). Thing is, comedies will always have a limited time span, they've already done over a 100 episodes and it will be hard to keep it fresh. I still enjoyed S4 and both 2 & 3 were hilarious. As with any comedy there is no point in thinking it...
