No it’s not the same at all. They may be linked but they are completely different.
My son has Tourettes and it’s nothing like ADHD.

yes you correct
No offence meant!

No offence taken. Didn’t mean to come off so aggressive.
We were told when my son was diagnosed that Tourettes often comes with a secondary thing ie ADHD, autism, OCD, allergies, diabetes but they are completely different.

Yes dyslexia runs in my family with my son myself suffering.
Both my grandsons have been diagnosed with ADHD and my daughter is convinced my son and I have it.
Life’s rich tapestry!

Things have really moved on in the last couple of decades. When I was growing up there was no such thing as Tourette’s ADHD etc. It was just assumed that you were behaving like a twat and so someone just knocked seven bells out of you and stuffed your head down the bog until you stopped doing it!.
David Warner would be a good place to start.

It sure is my friend I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 25 year my repeat prescription is a long as a Shakespeare play ?

I personally think that the batting order is not helping after the openers I would go root/stokes/ denly/baistow/butler woakes/butler/Ali/broad/ Anderson.
Now that Anderson is out I would have Archer for him and I would have Rashid for Ali and might even drop one of Denly or Bairstow for Curran.

You have 2 butlers. I don’t think Denley has the temperament at this level, but I am struggling to think of anyone else at present.
They have to find a place for Archer as he gives that tip of the spear that we are missing.

Just the tip?

 

[Buggsy61]

Just the tip?

Broad and Anderson are still quality, especially in English conditions and will rightly be remembered as two of the all time greats.
Just been watching the recorded highlights. The established pundit opinion is that Australia only have 2 top class batsmen in Smith and Warner but they clearly haven’t been watching Travis Head - this guy is quality and is going to have a very good test career.

Game is in the balance. Didn't manage to watch properly today, but from what I did see we were chasing wickets a little bit and leaking runs. 3 wickets in a session is still good though, however their run rate is alarming.

We need to take Smith out. He's too good. Just go with a plan, i.e short ball for example, and just set your field and bowl to it. No point just hanging it on 7th stump, he could just leave it for days. Go short take the **** out.

 

[aussiespursguy]

Morning boys.
You guys are still favourites in my book. One wicket could be all you need for the rot to set in.

Still game on.

If the one wicket is Smith I would agree with you.

If not ...

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

New plan: kill smith

I wasn’t serious ffs

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I don't think Root had a very good day as captain yesterday. Again. Losing Anderson is looking like it might cost us the match unless one of our bowlers has a magic spell.

 

[Wsussexspur]

Really don’t understand in cricket if player picks up an injury and he cannot play for the rest of the match such as the Anderson situation why we can’t replace him with a like for like player.i.e Archer or Curren or Stone, seems a team gets penalised for a player being injured as effectively we are a player down for the match.

 

[dagraham]

Ali has bowled plenty of good deliveries, but he can’t seem to keep a consistent line or length to really put the pressure on.

I think that's something they are bringing in soon but only for concussion.

Just don’t think Root is a very good captain. Was thinking it would be interesting to see what would happen to him as captain if we lost this series. As his record is pretty poor but I suspect nothing though.

Suppose also the problem is who would they replace him with.

 

[Wsussexspur]

They were saying yesterday that it is already in place for concussion injuries.

Ah right, I was only half listening
