Publish and be damned.

Yeah having thought about this I tend to agree. I was wondering if India’s bowlers would benefit from the rest but it’s just as likely they won’t be able to ‘recreate’ the high they were on.

Play done for the day. Who does the delay help more?

Root gone. Starting to look sketchy.

I suspect what he says in public and what he thinks in private are two entirely different things.

Yep. 2-1 is better than 2-2. Sounds obvious but apparently these days things are more complicated. 🤷‍♂️

Is that a version of Schrodinger’s cat?

Perhaps we should all attend the next one 🤔🤔

I applaud his agent for keeping a straight face in negotiations.

Bat sensibly, tire out their seamers, take advantage, win. Or…

Early days but it looks like Martin’s ego is exceeding his players’ abilities again.

Some serious box ticking going on there.

Seemed to think quicker too.

All in one innings too. I think I heard it mentioned this is the first time it’s happened to England since 2009.

I see you’re feeling generous.

Cheap punts and cunts. Rovers 2025.

He’s far away.

Where’s Cantwell?

500,000 rupees maybe.

Beat you to it 😁😁

Same as us then.

But spending up front would be an advantage as it’s a rolling cycle so no ‘long term’ championship club has that luxury. I agree the rules are as clear as mud - in terms of promoted clubs they say what they must do (provide the figures as I mentioned earlier) but don’t make clear as to why they must do this. In terms of their spending - their turnover was above ours* in their league two season (for reasons I seem to recall you alluding to earlier) and presumably has only continued to grow. Whether this assumed increase is enough to keep them within whatever FFP rules apply to them I guess only time will tell. * I think this is correct, if not it was very close to being so.

I think (as I said earlier) next year counts as year three of their cycle. (They definitely have to now provide financial info for promotion year and the one preceding it). It would be one hell of a loophole if clubs could spend what they wish for two years after reaching the Championship.

An ever increasing turnover plus relatively low losses in previous years.

I believe they are (why else the requirement to provide the info?).
