It's a perfectly okay thing to say regardless of the supposed reason for saying it.

Where is the ''none of the above'' choice? ;)

It does sound like a good idea, I agree, but the trouble is fitting it into the English season, which has already been extended at both ends to potential breaking point. As you say, it could do without any razzmataz.

I'm unsure as to what sanctions are available to a court with regard to foreign passports: in the case of a UK passport then an order to surrender it could have been made, short of revoking it.

I disagree with your assessment. He is far from idiotic, that being the problem. He totally knows what he's doing and what he and his mob are intent on achieving, and he's been treated with kid gloves so far by the legal system in the UK, leading to the ridiculous decision to give him...

A bit like a red ball Hundred then?

I've got to be pleased, if only because his name is so close to my own.

I might, if I knew what that was. :smile:

I attended Bristol University in the mid 1980s. Some students were getting exercised about the Wills connection even then, believe me.

English county cricket gets more and more like the Premier Division, with a very few sides, all playing at test grounds, attracting all the best players.

Heads should roll, I'd have thought. WorstGroup never learn, do they?

Given that many of the people involved may also have been associated with football hooliganism, and some with the attempted far-right Whitehall Cenotaph 'protection' last November, it's highly unlikely they'll be dissuaded by the weather. It's only the 'hangers-on' who might disappear.

Actually, they mean ''may I have?'' :smile:

Northants are a First Division side. though. Playing for Second Division Worcestershire didn't stop Josh Tongue coming to the fore, nor Sussex's place the fast bowling Ollie Robinson. Poor Glamorgan can only help top batsmen like Labuschange into the Australian test side! The way things are...

No surprise, particularly as Monday's Plymouth-based Western Morning News plastered over the front page the message that two groups opposed to each other's viewpoint had each announced this well in advance. The local news Spotlight programme at 6.30 pm featured a reporter talking to and...

Burning books was a favourite of the Nazis and is also favoured by the Ayatollahs in Iran. I suspect the culprits in this would far rather be compared to one rather than the other. <(

Borthwick should be considering his future, surely? A bit like Kent with Billings and (Joe) Denly. Unless he has a cricketing brain like Mike Brearley's to apply to the captaincy, his performances seem underwhelming at best. too Gay seems an exciting prospect. Do you think Lees will ever get...

Once you start going down this road there's no end in sight. You really will get the modern equivalent of 1984's factory churning out amended newspapers with long-past dates on, eliminating any inconvenient news or person to 'prove' the prevailing viewpoint was followed even then. So now your...

'Do the arithmetic' is far more satisfactory, but it'd get downgraded to 'do the ariths.' :smile:

I admit to finding this incredible, but I believe the official position on Yaxley-Lennon is that he is on unconditional bail and so long as he makes his next scheduled court appearance in London in early October then no warrant for his arrest will be issued. His court appearance is on a charge...
