From reports it a committee of 4 who picked Ismael has the head coach. The 4 being Waggott, Gestede, Pasha and Owen. The final shortlist was Ismael or Wagner

We been to Russia for a world cup just 7 years ago. I think we should have gone South America in full for 2030 world cup. Then Europe for 2034, then Asia like Japan/South Korea or Australia

I'm sure FIFA will say its spread the game around the world and no other countries even bid for 2034 world cup. I wouldn't have gone to Saudi for footballing reasons. I would have held solely in South America given its the 100 years anniversary in 2030, then Europe(UK or Spain/Portugal/Morocco) for 2034. Then in 2038, I would look at Japan/South Korea or Australia/Indonesia/Singapore host. A Saudi world cup 2034 is likely to winter one again and wreck the footballing schedule again Didn't people say similar things about Qatar? Did they stop these people attending?

Give it resr RF99. Football decisions should be based on footballing issues and nothing else

Shouldn't come into play. Separate issues. Football should be based on footballing issues and thats it. Other always want to bring in non football issues all the time into these situations

The South America games is based the 100 years anniversary of the world cup. never experience a world cup in South America. The Saudi bid was the only bid for 2034 bid during the process. should Human rights record play any part in Football given its very separate issue or could Football being a full for good Looking very forward to the 2026 world cup still, should be a great tournament

2030 world cup will be held by Morocco, Spain and Portugal with Argentina (anniversary match co-host), Paraguay (anniversary match co-host) and Uruguay (anniversary match co-host) 2034 world cup will be in Saudi Arabia

He's 28 years old now and he played the last Ashes series down under. Played 4 test. Average 10 over 8 innings. I would be tempted by giving Durham opening batsmen Ben McKinney his head now. Supposedly the next big thing and bring in Jordan Cox at 3 perhaps

But his bowling isn't that England batsmen should fear. He's no Glenn McGrath or Paul Refifle. The top 3 batsmen used of footwork is very poor. Pope appalling shot, not at pitch of the ball, Duckett did his feet move to Lyon, Crawley not in position to play a defensive shot

I take another Michael Vaughan or Ian Bell or Jonathan Trott at 3.

Probably tomorrow, normally does it on Friday if its Saturday home game. External ones? Just BBC radio Lancs I would imagine It's will be only BBC radio Lancs and Rovers Tv there.

I'm similar, I don't watch enough. I think the County system and structure when we play our first class games. We need quality over quantity

Is Boland that good Gav? He swings into you and Keeper stood up, isn't that something new? Maybe we should have taken Woakes or Cook? We havent replace Anderson and Broad in terms of quality but also hitting line and length. Lynn always like to take a wicket early, when he doesnt, he goes searching more so why not play on that. Pope's dismissal was stupid..

Is the County championship of good quality? Does it provide good players? If you look at the top 3 batsman county championship div 1 run scores, its 3 players who couldn't perform at Test level. Are younger batsmen knocking the door down to say to National selector Luke Wright and head coach McCullum pick me instead? I think the County game need restructuring to produce better quality but better players? Like why are playing Cricket at County level in Early April, late September and October

Why couldn't their do catching practice on the bench? What's wrong a couple of hours practicing batting and catching practice then rest on a bench before session of catching on the bench for a hour. Sounds fair and reasonable to me

I'm not disagreeing with you over McCullum and the staff. I think our pre test series preparations like a couple of proper warm up games were wrong. I think Vaughan, Tufnell, Botham, Lloyd have slammed that decision. You can not go to Australia and not prepare correctly.

Is ripping up again going to change things, would Pope or Duckett play different under another head coach? I'm not unsure. They played that way and I don't think they can play different. Maybe, the lack of accountability is because Stokes and McCullum think these are best 7 batsmen in county cricket and we don't have players knocking on the door. Would a Dom Sibley or Hameed been better choice than Pope. Should Bethall play even tho he hasn't even got a first class hundred? maybe we need to restructure the County Cricket to focus more on quality or quantity?

Team mentality? Stokes digged in and show some character. Only can do the same?

Nacy's nightmare just continues. What was they thinking when they appoint him?

Where is the foot work from Pope and Duckett in their dismissal? Nothing. Crawley, Root and Brook got good deliveries but could their footwork been better? Probably in Crawley and Brook. Stokes dig in and show strength and character to fight. My biggest questions are:- 1. Are their better batsmen knocking the door in county championship? Top 3 run scores last season were Sibley, Hameed and Lees, who had their chances at Test level and failed. So are players like McKinney, Haines, Bethall ready to step up and coming for those 3? 2. Is it time to bring in James Rew as the main keeper and bat 7? Only 21, but performances like last season, surely it only time with Jamie Smith moving up the order? 3. Did we pick the right bowlers? You look at Neser and Boland playing and you asking if Sam Cook or Matthew Fisher should have been taken to Australia? 4. Why didnt we asked for minimum of 2 warm up games before the first test? What changes would you like to?. Change Captain? Change McCullum? Change which players? Can I ask anyone on here, does anyone watch any county cricket? If so, anyone stood out?

Thanks for sharing. I know NBA tickets are expensive as I looked into pre covid and they were too high for me. Lakers NBA tickets are expensive anyway

I'm going to leave the thread now for while and let you guys get on with it. I've posted my views on the issues and why I will be Ewood Park every home game and won't boycott games. That's my choice whilst I fully others who will others choices. @StHelensRoverI ain't a club plant just for the record. I'm just a diehard passionate Rovers supporter and STH who want to support the players and team. Anyway like I said I will leave the thread for a while and let you guys get on with it.
