Re: the Starc catch, the issue was whether he was in control of his movement as well - the umpires confirmed they felt that he wasn’t.

I take your point that a draw can be exciting but… Would we want a boring draw with Burnley or an exciting loss to Burnley? - surely it’s always the former? - Why would this be any different for cricket? (particularly, as you say, against ‘this lot’) I’m all for starting off with the mentality of trying to win rather than trying not to lose - but at some point the draw does become the more desirable option.

You missed out the bit which says: Although employers can refuse to give leave at a certain time, they cannot refuse to let workers take the leave at all.

The rules were followed for the Starc catch (and as you say for this incident too) This doesn’t stop the Aussies being arseholes (both last night and this morning)

Is an Australian ever in control of his body…

Maybe they deemed he wasn’t in control of his movement when the ball touched the ground?: 33.3 Making a catch The act of making a catch shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with a fielder’s person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control over both the ball and his/her own movement.

The pitch is two paced, that’s why playing the short ball is so difficult. 371 is a long long way off.

371 to win - feels like too many given both the pitch and the Aussie attack.

Any chance of a yorker?

IF we keep chipping away at the Aussie batsmen, we could bat ‘traditionally’ and still reach the target. I’m not saying we would reach the target, just that the RPO required might not be overly challenging. Of course we’d probably try and chase it down by lunch tomorrow…

Let him use it - instead of his bat 😁

They’ve said Lyon will bat if necessary.

Five - Slam Dunk (Da Funk) The start of the video for this is how Rovers should walk out of the tunnel before matches 😁

That’s a better five minutes, even allowing for the drop.

I’m sorry to hear about your health and I hope you have a great holiday with your family. No one can question your loyalty to our club, you’ve done more than most over the past decade in support of it. To answer your question (which I know was rhetorical) sadly I don’t think there is any loyalty from the club - well not from ‘those in the suits’ anyways.

I presume this will cause Cardiff ‘issues’ with FFP compliance?: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-66071830
