yes it does tbh.

for me, both Tomlinson and Mahoney should be around the first team/subs. Need a manager who will play the academy players

Goals from today game https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=sHo6mn4kwac

I dont think Tanner has done anything in the past season or 2

South Africa are currently playing Against India in India. They seems to have a new side cos I've only heard of 5 or 6 of them. Like De Villers, Amla(who is captain), Steyn, Morkel, Tahir and Du Plessis.

Very disappointed series result in the UAE. But we are playing against South Africa around Christmas in a 4 test match series. I expect Hales to come in for Rashid. Plus I can see Ali being our spinner there. My team would be:- Cook, Hales, Bell, Root, Taylor, Bairstow, Ali, Broad, Plunkett, Anderson, Finn. I haven't pick Stokes or Wood cos I dont think they will be fit enough or injured. If Stokes is fit then he replaces Plunkett and bats at 7

Good inning by James Taylor. Good player of spin. Hopefully he will stay in the team for years to come.

Tbh, I wouldnt be loaning out Tomlinson or Mansell this season. Much better them delevoping at Rovers under our coaching staff.

Rovers under 21's won 3-2 at Wolves away. We came back from 2 nil down to win 3-2 Lewis Mansell got 2 goals tonight

Really pleased that Rashid got 5 wickets yesterday. Thought the English media reports on Rashid were very much over reactioned on his bowling from the 1st innings Thought Cook's innings were great and the captain leading from the front.

Lewis Mansell and William Tomlinson signed Pro deals for Rovers. http://mobile.rovers.co.uk/news/article/willem-tomlinson-lewis-mansell-blackburn-rovers-2747085.aspx

What a awful pitch to play Test Cricket on. Its flat and nothing in it for the bowlers. Slow and no bounce. Why produce such a pitch. Cook scored a century today. Hopefully Root can do the same tomorrow.

His obsess with agents.

Who says they even have agents at all? Why didnt you attend the Q and A session and ask about agents and things like that?

Looks like Ali will open the batting for England in the UAE. And Rashid will play aswell. With Anderson, Board, Wood and Stokes all playing aswell Not sure if Ali is the answer at the top of the order tbf I would play James Taylor at 5 cos he is good player of spin

Rovers under 21's playing at Ewood Park tonight against Brighton. Free entry Chris Taylor, Petshi, Mahoney, Raya all playing tonight. http://mobile.rovers.co.uk//news/article/under-21s-blackburn-rovers-chris-taylor-brighton-hove-albion-2714405.aspx

James Taylor, Alex Hales and Ansari in the test squad. No Gary Ballance in squad http://m.ecb.co.uk/news?id=15631

Ashley Giles has done very good job as Lancashire head coach.

Lancs win the 20/twenty comp

Arent England/Bayliss bringing in Mahela Jayawardene in for test series to help our batsmen with spin?

I agree with Jim that Ballance will return to the squad for UAE with Pakistan. My squad for that trip would be:- Batsmen:- Cook, Hales, Bell, Root, Ballance, Bairstow(back up wk), J.Taylor All rounders:- Stokes, Ali Wicketkeeper:- Buttler Fast Bowlers:- Board, Anderson, Wood, Finn, Plunkett Spinners:- Rashid, Riley

Rovers wont be involved in a relegation battle IMO. I know some of you wont like me for saying that but that is my view. Will change if Rhodes did leave tho

I would take 3 spinners to the Uae and play 2 of there My spinners would be Rashid, Ali and Riley.

Not at All Al but yet again you just resist but have a dig. I would play Rashid at the Oval and we will need 2 spinners in the UAE when we play Pakistan. I think Rashid is a better spinner than Ali thats is all

Scored loads? Not really. He scored a triple century. Then because Strauss said what he did. KP decided to end his time at Surrey and go and play in CPL. Instead of saying stuff the money and I will play County Cricket for season prove to Strauss that I am still good enough to play for England by scoring 1500 runs plus this season and put pressure on Strauss and the selectors to pick him by weight of runs but instead he choose option A. His choice btw Look at Bairstow who has scored century after century and get his place back into the team by scoring runs week in week out NOT JUST in 1 game like KP.
