    Durham/ECB postpone ****-up in brewery citing organisational difficulties

    As anyone who has been following the sports news will be aware the Durham v Yorks 20:20 game was called off because their young spinner Azeem Rafiq was apparently ineligible (or according to Nasser Hussain, illegible - presumably this is because his doosra is unreadable). This is probably the...

    The End Of Motty

    Apparently, Sunday night is going to be his last big game before he hangs up his sheepskin. Am I alone in being delighted? Right up until 2002, he was absolutely superb. Knowledgable, consistent and informative. Then, and I believe it was the early kickoff against Nigeria, he went absolutely...

    England ODI side

    Following on from the debate/dissection in the ODI thread, let's do the selectors' job for them, and pick an ODI side that can actually beat second-rate teams like New Zealand: Bell - really growing into the role as opener Mustard (wk) - what exactly did he do to be dropped? Pietersen - the...

  9. Reasons to be cheerful?

    Not sure if anyone else has figured this one out, but if you've got Bailey wanted by QPR Wolves etc - Francis wanted by Palarse - Clarke reportedly wanted by his old club yet again, then there is a pretty legitamite reason to bung them on the transfer list to get more dosh for em by alerting...

    Week 2 pops!

    A good week here! Craig Browne - 21 yo, BT Rating=69,627 RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, respectable batting form, superb bowling form, sublime fitness. A defensive player with abysmal leadership skills and woeful experience. Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: exceptional Batting: quality...

    England v United States

    And so the recovery continues. Fabio Capello's patient, paternal treatment of the blundering failures who shamed the nation last year is, little by little, beginning to pay off. He hasn't asked them to play in strange formations, he hasn't made sweeping changes, he hasn't even announced a...

    BT Pops - Week ?

    Is this week 18 or week 1 Either way just this for me Eddie Thelwell - 18 yo, BT Rating=9,520 RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, mediocre bowling form, energetic fitness. A destructive player with proficient leadership skills and abysmal experience. Stamina: competent...

    Doncaster's system - could we pull it off?

    Let me be clear from the outset - I'm not proposing that we radically change the way we play after a fairly successful season, I'm just posting this as food for thought. For a while now I've felt that one of our weaknesses as a team has been our inability to create space for our wide players...

    Transfers

    It's that time of the season again, where I get bored of my team and want to change it. How much will this boy go for? Douglas Pedro (1556989) shortcut RH Batsman, RF Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, moderate fitness. A destructive player with superb leadership skills and...

  16. Unlucky Lads

    Don't want to say too much for fear of gloating. We were good again last night and it wasn't the fault of your team that you lost. They never gave in either and you have to give credit for that. Great support too and helped create a superb friendly atmosphere between both fans. Saw a car...

    David James

    It is a testament to David James' resilience that he has worked so hard to overcome his injury in time for today's FA Cup Final, but the lure of the big game is only part of his motivation. James, for all of his heroics this season, is more aware than most that when it comes to the FA Cup Final...

    Glasgow Rangers reach the final of the UEFA Cup

    Glasgow Rangers reached the final of the UEFA Cup by defending doggedly against superior opposition and then snatching chances on the break, but last night at The City of Manchester Stadium, those tactics finally blew up in Walter Smith's face. For 72 minutes, Zenit St Petersburg bounced off the...
  19. A Donny View

    Well I enjoyed the trip last night. It took us 5 hours to get down to your place and then another 5 and a half to get back to Doncaster. The A1 was closed on the way home so most Rovers fans got stuck when a tanker and a car both overturned blocking the motorway for a good hour or so not even...

    Reserve League Play-Off Final

    Liverpool's senior side may not picked up any silverware this year, but on Wednesday night at Anfield, Gary Ablett's reserve team were on hand to show them how it's done. Having won their regional divisional with room to spare, the youngsters were sent out to face Aston Villa's second string for...
