Sussex have finally got round to appointing a permanent batting coach ... and it's Michael Yardy. While it's good that we have a coach and it's good to someone with a Sussex pedigree (even if he was born in Kent and supports West Ham) but, judging by his stance by the end of his career, I'm not...

I'm rewiring a table lamp but the lampholder doesn't have any indication which terminal is live and which is neutral. All the instructions I've looked at just say connect to the correct terminal but none of them say which is which. Does it matter? Or is there a way of finding out? (it's a...

Some deaths hit you harder than others. Hearing about Jaki Liebezeit, the drummer from Can, is certainly one of them. It's hard to put into words just how much I loved Can - have all their albums, seen them several times, blah, blah, blah. Even now, 40 years after they split up, they're...

Sussex have just announced they've got David Wiese back for next season ... but as a Kolpak this time. That's Van Der Zyl, Philander and Wiese in the team this season (and we can still sign another overseas player as Philander is only here in the first half of the season). We're going to...

What TV connection do I need for an Xbox 360 to work? Mr Google is being less than helpful on this and keeps giving me links to how to use an Xbox to watch TV, not how to get an Xbox working. What I want to know is whether a working TV - that's not connected to anything - will enable my son...

In 2000, Wisden asked 100 journalists/former cricketers, worldwide, to pick up their best five players of the 20th century. For a completely trivial reason, I was looking this up this morning and saw which England players had been mentioned. So, your starter for 10 (and without looking it...

The all-powerful All Blacks' record-breaking run has come to an end ... and in what style Not many teams get 40 points against New Zealand. What a game

It's been talked about for some time but he's finally won Right out of the blue that one

Durham can't pay their bills. They get rescued by the ECB but the price is relegation AND a 48 point deduction. Imagine if the FL took this stance with every club in financial grief - we'd have clubs with minus points at the end of the season. While I wish the FL were a bit tougher, can't help...

I'm writing an article on SAP and I have a quick couple of questions for SAP users - I know there are some of you out there, Simster has some, er, interesting views on the subject of SAP What's the biggest pain when it comes to dealing with compliance issues when running SAP. Things like risk...

And Chris Jordan strikes in the second over: Worcs 6-1 Sussex looking a bit weak without Joyce (and Luke Wells is missing too) Nash, Hudson-Prentice, Cachopa, Salt, Wiese, Brown, Robinson, Jordan, Archer, Briggs, Magoffin That's a batting line-up to strike fear in an opposition

We've lost a couple of tiles from our roof. Anyone out there a roofer - or know anyone who is? Any idea roughly how much it costs to replace two tiles (they're right on the edge, if that makes any difference)

Sussex struggling to raise a team: no Joyce, Wright, Finch, Jordan, Machan, Archer, Whittingham or Garton Danny Briggs Ben Brown (c/wkt) Craig Cachopa Tom Haines Fynn Hudson-Prentice Steve Magoffin Chris Nash Ollie Robinson Phil Salt Ajmal Shahzad Luke Wells David Wiese Bring your boots, might...

Seeing the mentions of Alan Duffy and Brian Dear on the other thread, got me thinking about, er, more generously proportioned Albion players. Apart from those two, I'll add Warren Aspinall and Guy Butters to the mix. Any more?

I've seen no thread about this - have people given up on Sussex after their dismal season? We do however need just one more Gloucestershire wicket to wrap up the game - and they're still 42 runs short of making Sussex batting again. It's been a good performance all round and provides some hope...

For years I've been rolling up to games and watching the football. Apparently, I've been doing it wrong and should have paid £20 to have lessons in football watching, http://www.howtoacademy.com/courses/how-to-watch-football?mc_cid=49ce8a33d6&mc_eid=444d1ba4ba Rope. Money. Old. For

Interesting interview on the BBC site about why Sarah Taylor is taking a break from from cricket. Good to hear that Robbo has been supportive: mind you, he must be used to this by now after Yards and Monty. It's rather worrying to hear about the number of top cricketers with mental health...
