Which helps prove Jim’s point because they had Brook at number 3 for the first innings. Replacing one ‘not a number 3’ with another ‘not a number 3’ does seem a strange tactic to me.

That’s an awful lot of ifs but I do admire your willingness to share your optimism on here. For what it’s worth, I think we’re currently looking at 10th - 12th. With the ‘right’ signings for right sided attacker and centre forward, I’d probably change that to 4th - 6th.

I don’t know enough about all the other clubs to answer either of those questions. What i do know is having the best pair of teenagers ( if indeed we do) and the best DoF/coach combo (again, if we do) is not the same as having a top two squad.

Prince & The New Power Generation - Cream

The following are the past and present shareholders in 1991. A certain Mr J Walker was busy…

M People - Search For The Hero

Elton John - Tiny Dancer

He did okay today 😁

Maybe I’m misremembering but wasn’t Bairstow’s best form when he was in the team as a batsman and Foakes had the gloves (2022)?

I’m not surprised but I am disappointed (re: Foakes)

Take That - A Million Love Songs

It’s one of them…

‘Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t - you’re right’

Arrested Development - People Everyday

I thought Pope had been ruled out for the rest of the series.

Please can I have next week’s lottery numbers?

Never in doubt 🤪

Queen - Seven Seas Of Rhye

Tears For Fears - Mad World

I don’t think we can read anything into whose in which line up - but let’s do so anyway… Kaminski first choice?

I was more focussed on the price list on the right - £1.50 for a Mars bar!!

The Beatles - Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

From a 2017 interview with Smith: In England, people with the last name Smith, well, cricketers anyway, all seem to get called Smudge. Huss (Hussey) had obviously played a lot of county cricket over there and he was the one that started it. After that, it just stuck.

No it isn’t. I’m concerned about the quality of the ‘safety assessments’ given they deemed the already reduced capacity to be safe until another ‘real life’ situation showed them that it wasn’t. Even without the awful history of that stand, surely it’s better just to close it down.

Is it the stand that’s unsafe or just the access to it? (I guess you could argue that’s one and the same thing)
