I think this will be a competitive total. TMS yesterday was saying that the average 1st innings total was around 260. Also good to see Ballance with a good innings, he started to look like the player he was before NZ and Aus exposed his technique.
I see no issue with this. He’s doing what’s in his best interest whilst also trying to be loyal to the club. If we get promoted this season I've little doubt he will sign a new contract with us since we’ll be in a position to offer him something much more lucrative than whatever it is he has...
CBA to read 14 pages but Duffy would be a BRILLIANT capture for us. He featured in WhoScored's Championship Team of the Year: https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/7/England-Championship#overall-formation-seasonal-content
For clarity, I was referring only to people in a general sense, not specifically anyone who may have posted in this topic or on this forum.
I totally agree with most of your second paragraph, it is absolutely the responsibility of the FA to improve the frankly dire situation we find ourselves...
I'd like to know why some people are so damn hell-bent on having an English manager.
The way I see it, we have a minutely small talent pool of English managers that could be deemed to make the grade. Why arbitrarily narrow down the list of people you would entertain for the job instead of...
The thing which has annoyed me about this whole reshuffle is that Root has been moved to 3. He averages in the 70s at 5 and in the 50s at 4. His average at 3 is about 30. I still don’t agree with them moving him from 5 to 4, let alone from 4 to 3.
James Vince on the other hand actually plays at...
Regards the cricket, JB and Woakes hung around for a long, long time to try and repair the damage our upper order had again inflicted on its own team. Cook simply got a very good delivery as well so I wouldn't blame him too much. The rest absolutely gave their wickets away. Lord's despite being...
If he plays every game or near enough every game I've no doubt at all that he will score 20+. When the support was there last season he was banging goals in. He went through a real proper lean patch during December and January when we were in the midst of an injury crisis. As I've said before...
That's a fair point but consider that Raonic absolutely blew everyone away with it and Murray was able to make it look quite average, so I don't think so. He patted back a 147mph serve like it was nothing.
Murray bossed that final. Totally tore Raonic's game apart, piece by piece, dissected his big serve like a surgeon with a sharp blade. The only thing I felt he could have done a little more of was mixing up his lobs; at one point Raonic was coming to the net about 75% of the time, but obviously...
I've got a full pint in terms of BHAFC. Delighted that *touch wood* we have been able to keep all of our important players so far during this transfer window whilst adding to our strike force. Personal life is also trending upwards.
Almost an empty pint on everything else though. With each...
He made what most would consider to be a positive career decision - moved elsewhere for greater income - and it worked out for him as he got to play in the top division for a while.
I was a little shocked to see him back but I'm sure come the game against Derby we'll all be happy to see him...
