The biggest thunder storm in a while has just shook our house heading towards Leeds, I hope they've got the covers on

I guess it keeps the office staff in a job!

Sheff Weds are charging £59 for Cat A Championship football. The owner spent 10 minutes slagging off Carlton Palmer in the press conference to introduce his new manager. Foreign ownership? You can keep it.

How did they blow that….

It reminds me of Atherton and Glenn McGrath at times.

Booooom! Who got Warner? One 1 guess allowed 🤣

Absolutely! Support from Wood too, tremendous passage of play.

I was fortunate enough to attend the Old Firm game at Ibrox at the end of last season and although it was pretty much a dead rubber, with no away fans, the atmosphere and experience was superb. We are off again to watch them play Aberdeen in the early part of the season, if you get the chance, go and see the old firm, you'll not regret it. Ps - Glasgow is a great city too, one of the best, food isn't bad either - https://www.crabshakk.co.uk/

Moeen didn't play that way for the most part, he was trying to stick around with some quality shots at times. Woakes was bounced out trying to project himself. Its not all bazball as some would have you think.

The shot by Bairstow, as den says, was awful, but your point still stands. They're the best side in the world, we should keep that in mind.

He needs to attack now as Bairstow goes cheaply.

Not a great start.....but very very good bowling.

It’s an interesting analogy, I was in JW upper for the Norwich game last season, it’s also frequented by a significant number of former hooligans and criminals for the local area. Flat noses, scars and stone island were all over the place, not a flask or blanket to be seen.

It didn’t look like going down to the wire at one point Asia, it was a good fight back. Lancashire tonight 👍

Drop one, catch one, we'll be batting before the days out!

That wasn’t a drop, goodness me John, it was out of his reach off Smith. England could be batting before the days out here.

Warner gone - Broad!

Wooooo wait a minute, she/he/him/her can't say that! Cancelled.

Early look at the wicket:

This ashes series so far has been terrific, despite the results, absolute theatre on each day. I can hardly wait for 11am to come around, hopefully the weather stays away, we win the toss and put Aussies in under cloudy conditions. Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I’m sure this will resonate with many on here:

Amen to that Ian 🙏 Test cricket in this country has never been so popular.

Ironically he told one poster to stop living in the past when discussing cheating and sandpaper….. Hope you enjoyed the weekend Dreams, despite the result.

Ben Stokes has just produced one of the best ashes innings of all time: 214 balls 155 run 9 fours 9 sixes

They used to queue to get out when Boycott was batting, not queue to get in….
