Years since I lived in Wolverhampton and the wrong side of town for me now (on a match day) but wasn’t ‘that’ Dixons a paint store not the Dixons that was synonymous with Currys?

I was there as well. My only ever reserve game which considering I’m at over 1000 first team games is slightly odd!

I had £600 in my favour until an abnormal bill wiped it all out. Not problem with the meter though when checked...

Shocking umpiring (cheating I would call it) denying Pakistan a run out at the start of our second innings. One of those really easy decisions that in club cricket makes you spend the rest of the game chuntering 'cheat' under your breath.

He played for Lancs for years, epitome of a decent county pro and got some England caps while Bumble was the team manager and Lancs team mate Atherton was I think still captain. Never played a test and has been an umpire since retiring. Similar umpiring and playing career - never quite at the...

I'm the opposite. I loved the fall* and rise of the 80's because it all happened so quickly and there was a real connection with the team, players [many of which as you say were from local football] and fan camaraderie. * admittedly the fall only became lovable/bearable because the rise back...

I don't understand this. T20 Blast or IPL or Big Bash are hardly stuffy bacon and egg tie cricket.

Clearly Rovert47 has access to other channels as he states he 'was always happy watching the T20'. But his wife or son never watched those, so while terrestrial TV will have been an argument for some, it was something else here.

This is the bit I don't get. Why would someone [your wife and son in this instance] start watching a game that is in two innings of 100 balls but never watched/watches a game or have any interest in a game where they play two innings of 120 balls? I'm sure it's not because Surrey are call the...

Pretty much this and unless he was blocking someone's progress or wasn't still the best pick available, he should be playing. All that said, what a great career.

I’ve seen Bellamy the coach when he was at Cardiff’s academy and the characteristics we knew he had as a player were still very evident and even their other coaches were embarrassed and apologised for his arrogance and tantrums. Six years ago but I’d be surprised if he’s changed that much...

2023 Lemina I agree, 2024 Lemina struggled to warrant a place in the team. We don’t want a Max type scenario where the captain has to play regardless so I think Cunha could mature with it and cement a long term stay here like Neves did.

Captain?

What could possibly go wrong…?!!

I remember Gallagher as being very much a Hughes, Dawson, Bennett, Curle type signing. Hoping that their leadership skills had outlasted and compensated for their declining physical attributes. Unfortunately, as I remember, Gallagher was a busted flush.
