Clueless me but what a way to retire.

Vardy scoring 25 goals to get us promoted and then the winning FA Cup Final goal will just edge it.You will struggle to see a more fitting end to a players career.
I honestly think Vardy has lived all his dreams.Vardy scoring 25 goals to get us promoted and then the winning FA Cup Final goal will just edge it.
It had everything, except an England series win, which was deserved in my opinion.Have to say that was THE greatest example of a Test Series. Well done to both sides. That was a real sporting contest. It had everything
Short memories, I'd say.Have to say that was THE greatest example of a Test Series. Well done to both sides. That was a real sporting contest. It had everything
the change of ball was probably just as significant - the umpires certainly did us a favourI think the rain today helped us too. It was an astonishing collapse but one that Australia have threatened before this series.
I remember when Mars bars were 7p. Things changeI remember when tests in this country started on a Thursday and finished on a Tuesday with Sunday as a rest day.
The next test would start a week on Thursday.
If it was a 5 test series there would be a extra week's rest.
As said previously, it's all crammed in to cater for T20, ODI internationals and now The Circus. Sorry I meant The Hundred
That makes you the youngest on Bentleys Roof thenI remember when Mars bars were 7p. Things change
Of course they change all I said was I remember...I remember when Mars bars were 7p. Things change
The power of terrestrial TV. Such a shame the ashes isnt a listed event.One very good example of how that was the case was the way that it crossed over into wider society and got huge numbers of non-cricket fans glued to it. .
True, but my memories of 2005 crossing over weren't related to relatively few people sat at home watching all day, but it being on the radio in taxis in Ireland, in shops in France, and at train stations in Scotland, etc. It was still on the radio this summer.The power of terrestrial TV. Such a shame the ashes isnt a listed event.
How many youngsters would have been inspired watching it on school holidays? How many of today's squad were inspired watching that series as a kid?
the rotation of test grounds has to have time to recover from all the games.I remember when tests in this country started on a Thursday and finished on a Tuesday with Sunday as a rest day.

The really quick bowlers are always breaking down and getting injured. I’d be surprised if we see Archer in an England test shirt again.Whilst exciting that series was a farce. Half the bowlers broke down because they crammed 5 tests into hardly any time at all to fit it in before the bloody fukking Hundred.
Before August and the Test summer is over.
I’ve seen test match cricket at The Rose Bowl. I’ve seen Ashes cricket at Durham and Cardiff, but believe the Australia series should be played at the biggest grounds so more spectators can get to watch.the rotation of test grounds has to have time to recover from all the games.
Personally i think at least a couple more grounds should be added, and built up to the standard that befits a test match.
I really don't see why they can't add some of the ODI/T20 international grounds to the test rotation, there's nothing in the south west and they could add Bristol or the rose bowl in soton, but both would require investment and building.
ECB have been raking the money in this summer, it's the least they can do.
