I quite liked him in previous seasons, but even with the injuries I don't think we do. He just looked so far off the pace when he's come on. Lads v dads/ traffic cone scenario. I wish him well, but moving on wouldn't be a bad thing. Please don't play him v west ham |

I did have a bet on the draw and Wednesday to win, but thankfully we did win. Thought we looked a bit dodgy for a fair bit of the second half, but we got there in the end. Great strike by kolli, he was limping at the end. Hope he can play next week! |

I didn't think the first half was too bad, but once they got ahead we had no answer to the time wasting. I do think today part of the problem is the 4-4-2. I think the reason more teams play 4-2-3-1 now is you have that extra body in midfield. Kone and burrell weren't able to hold the ball up and the extra man got Norwich possession time and again. That and our wide players weren't that great, which negates what advantages 4-4-2 brings |

Do you have a tape dispenser? I was bad at wrapping, and remember trying to badly wrap stuff getting hacked off continually losing the end of the tape. Absolute game changer, I'm fairly good at it now relatively speaking anyway |

Whilst we don't have a top class spinner in England, one of the main functions of a spinner in international cricket is to hold an end up. I think any county spinner would have been a better option than throwing jacks to the wolves |

What's the relationship between tnt sports and discovery plus? The game is on discovery plus, but when you look it up it talks about tnt sports. Id like to get a ticket, but I think that's unlikely. But tnt is doable |

Excellent post and excellent knowledge! I think with most things, there's a balance to be struck. It's ok to look for the attributes that you want, like bowling at a certain pace for example, but in just picking this way they have discarded so many players. They picked Sam cook but he was bowling at 77mph .Hameed as you say should come in, and probably Sibley too. I don't see why leach wasn't in the squad. They've made it a closed shop and fundamentally the likes of Crawley and pope are not good enough and it's all come crashing down now. Definitely time to include some more county players, providing their techniques look the part |

Added to that we will play Bashir come what may, until the ashes, then we won't, but we don't have a reserve spinner. Don't get me wrong, I think will jack's can do a decent job for England in the moeen mould in the future, but it's crazy to just chuck him in in Adelaide as the only spinner. Cue Nathan Lyon with a few wickets second innings |

Sibley has improved since he last played apparently. I'm not sure about bethel either, but he needs to play some cricket early season for Warwickshire. Last summer he was basically on the sidelines watching |

Well that's that then. Will be time for a few players to move on. I would like Stokes to stay, but I'm not sure he will. Could be a very different team in the summer, possibly a good deal worse but who knows. |

A bit of a worrying position, especially as we know England have the potential to be bowled out in about 30 overs. We don't want the Aussies to have much of a lead |

That is part of it yes. The multiplier is less, which is what the government is claiming, and the discount is going as you say. But the revaluations are cranking up, so the upshot of it is that a lot of pubs are facing a 78 percent rise in business rates. Considering they made a big play of reforming business rates to help pubs and shops is massively bogus |

I'm not sure, if it's conspiracy or cock up, nearly always it's cock up every time. I can't believe Rachel reeves stood up at the budget and said proudly we are reducing business rates and said about a new golden age for hospitality, whilst in the knowledge that the business rates were likely to rise massively. Surely she didn't know that was the reality. It's either a whopper of a lie or incredible incompetence, but surely if she knew she wouldn't have said that, as she would have known she'd be found out pretty soon |

The landlord was featured a bit before the budget on a Facebook group called London pubs saying that costs have gone up by £ 22000 this year and if taxes go up he might have to close next year. Then in the event of the budget the business rates debacle has made it a lot more likely that thousands more pubs will close. They were supposed to be helping the high street and pubs, but are adding many thousands to pubs business rates instead |

I take your point, and I remember bishops Stortford being in that division. But at the moment it's a bit ridiculous for Truro or Torquay to travel to Gateshead or vice versa.
Some of the teams like Fleetwood or Newport only have 75 fans for their long trek away games, and regionalisation would make sense to me |

Very sad. Great player. And another one who I forget has aged that much( though 62 is no age.) |
