    The Cricket Thread

    I’m English. I got a little heated yesterday (sorry everyone) so I feel the need to explain myself a bit better. I posted not as whataboutism, but because I think the whole thing is a storm in a tea cup, and reached ridiculous proportions with the PM bothering to answer a question he could have...

    The neg reps are there to be used if you disagree. Or are you suggesting no one should use them? I'm not using them any differently than anyone else "Snowflake about it" - it's this kind of personalization that i really hate It's possible to discuss without making assumptions or being...

    Bairstow's quick, and single swipe of his crease with his foot from 20 yards back wouldn't have been obvious to Carey, who caught the ball and threw back in the same motion. It's not like he waited

    Lol! Then neither do Strauss or Nasser - they were both fine with it

    Bairstow didn’t ground his bat - you’re taught to do that at school and wait for it to be called over it wasn’t called over to suggest “they’re not the same” is not true

    Competition / rotation option for Son, young, relatively low cost / risk with proven premier league experience. We need more squad depth - he provides it

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    He’s actually one of the best in the league at retaining the ball, with one of the lowest turnover rates there’s a reason two of the best coaches in the biz used him so much he’s just been overplayed

    If reports are true, you couldn’t get a better microcosm of all that is wrong with our club than being willing to spend 18M on Rodon, 15M on Spence, but not 15M on your first choice manager you hope will transform the team

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    Been thinking the same Our form since the world cup (20 games) is 11th We've been dire and the squad disharmony and quality requires a radical change in approach, and investment Perhaps we need to hit rock bottom before we that happens But the manager choice is a sticking plaster to a...

    This appointment just speaks to the total poverty of ambition at the top of the club. We tried to bring Conte and Jose down to our level, and now we're finding a manager who will be comfortable operating within constraints and with few expectations of making demands to do what it takes to win
