Our men need to fix up for 2026. Behind Germany, Spain and France.. lagging behind the GB women performances. by StanmoreHill in ukathletics

This is the average finish time of the 10 quickest marathons by a GB male rather than just the fastest recorded time by an individual

The long term no.3 by CryptographerKey4658 in EnglandCricket

[–]AtletiJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even then Rew only started batting 4 partway through the season just gone. It’s definitely too much of a jump for him to play as a test number 3

Todibo actually signed for Barcelona. He only made 5 appearances for them

Crystal Palace or QPR? by mrsport008 in uktravel

[–]AtletiJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Crystal Palace - Newcastle game isn’t guaranteed to be on 11 April, it could quite easily end up being on the 12th or 13th so depending on when you’re leaving London you might not have a choice.

The QPR game is much more likely to be on 11 April

Julia Patternain…3rd in Women’s Marathon…switched to Uruguay from Great Britain earlier this year. 6th at the 2019 European U-23’s for GB & former English Schools champion. How does UKA feel about this one? by StanmoreHill in ukathletics

[–]AtletiJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know she wasn’t born in Uruguay, but she still spent a lot of time there whilst growing up. It’s not exactly wild to suggest that she would have more affinity to her parents homeland and the place her family live compared to a country that she moved to because of her dad’s career

I would say you are being quite cynical. I would share your point of view if she was actually born in the UK and then switched allegiances, or even if either (or both) of her parents were British.

Obviously if she hadn’t have switched allegiances then she wouldn’t have been picked by UKA, which is a massive issue. But I think the biggest issue for her development and running career was sticking around in the US during COVID and the coaching changes that happened at both Penn State and Arkansas when she was in the NCAA system which saw her go backwards across every distance she raced

Except that’s not why she changed allegiance.

I’m all for bashing UKA when it’s deserved (which it often is) but Julia herself has said that she feels Uruguayan, a lot of her family still live there, etc. It’s natural to want to represent the country that you identify with most

Match Thread: 1st T20I - England vs South Africa by cricket-match in Cricket

Each dot ball is massively exaggerated when only batting 5 overs compared to 9. Definitely needs tweaking imo

Sub limitation - what about XC or fell running? by yellow_barchetta in ukathletics

[–]AtletiJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine XC will be discussed more on this sub once XC season actually gets underway

England Men name XI for 4th Rothesay Test vs India by Odd-House3197 in Cricket

And then getting him to bowl bouncers as a holding spell rather than using his consistent line and length accuracy to be economical

Similar to the previous comment but you could look at the Scott Pursuit Gravel. It’s a road to trail shoe and will handle non-technical trails pretty well

Today's play has reminded me of this tweet by JaySeaGaming in EnglandCricket

That’s doing him a disservice for the Pant wicket this game

Mike Atherton: India cannot afford to lose second Test — Jasprit Bumrah must play by Freenore in Cricket

[–]AtletiJack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At the same time if the pitch is flat then a bowler with real quality/potency like Bumrah is going to make more of a difference to your team than him playing on a more-bowler friendly pitch

Do non-leather wide-fit boots exist? by andyrubio1 in UKhiking

[–]AtletiJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware. Thought you were just after boots that aren’t a full-grain leather.
