Right  now  I'm  celebrating  the  fact  that  I  didn't  get  SKY  so  I  could  watch ( so  very  nearly  said  enjoy yell)  the  England  v West Indies  test  cricket.  After  all  the  wonderful  reports  of  how  the  team  is  building  up  into  a  World  Beating  Side  it  seems  that  it's  just  another  race  to  the  pits.  I'm  getting  the  feeling  that  watching  Sunday  football  between  a  couple  of  over age  pub  teams  will  bring  much  more  excitement  &  pleasure  until  Easter Egg  Rolling  commences  wink

Sad news indeed. It was recently reported in the paper that he was ill, and having seen his wife suffer from cancer before her death, he was in support of assisted dying.

He was a really good spin bowler and captain. I couldn’t understand why he left Yorkshire and went to Leicestershire as he did, but knowing how Yorkshire operate there’s sure to be a back story.

RIP Ray Illingworth

I see the numpties playing down under have yet again shown how brittle their batting is.

That’s goodbye to the series and now all they have to play for is to prevent a whitewash.The chances of that are, I’m afraid, slim to say the least.

I believe Yorks would not offer the contract he asked for and was snapped up by Leics

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.

I am not in the least embarrassed by the performances in Australia, Jonray !!  I have been well aware of the total incompetence of the crikit Authorities in these islands, and have been posting away on the strength of my knowledge , alas, for three years or more.

I am, now, waiting to see :_

         A)  if the team changes will be as before, 2 batsmen (!) and three bowlers.

         B)  if the Australian Cricket Authorities allow England & Wales cricketers to remain in their Southern fiefdom despite having proven themselves to be total incompetents trading on their betters reputations,  dodgy as some of those have been !

         C)   if the international organisers demote E & W to the level that their cricket performances deserve.  { Notice carefully that I say  "Their Performances "  not the level that many years of organising World Cricket has given them to believe they merit  }

Brian, I couldn't agree more and hope t'authorities on t'other side of planet boot us out, if only t'save the inevitable whitewashing!

Agree with UTTRog's comments and sentiments earlier (26/12)

The final comment from Brian !!

 

Apparently there was a quickly arranged, VOLUNTARY, training session for England this morning.  Not sure if it was attended by EIGHT (8)  or  TEN (10) of England's finest .

I hope that the idea of training this morning {  Antipodean Time } was proposed by the players, not management,  and that any fit but absent player has his full Touring Fees cancelled/reclaimed/ blocked  forthwith !!

I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want the b****rs working their passage back. Let the Aussies keep them. They must be useful for summat like sweeping the streets or sewing mailbags.
