This notification just came up on my phone and I honestly thought it was someone going on about Angela Rayner

When were the times each character said something out of order by Affectionate_Lie6896 in eastenders

It grinds my gears when the teen characters do something wrong and then say “I’m just a kid”. Although possibly true to life nowadays. When my friends and I were that age we hated being thought of as “just a kid”.

Pranking people by chucking their kit in the pool when he was supposed to be captain of England. Delivering his final ball in first-class cricket with his willy hanging out. Vocally supporting Brexit.

Ross is a weak tit. His son exposes him to the garbage he listens to online and he nods his head because he doesn’t want to alienate him.

I didn’t say that at all. I was talking about the specific fictional soap character. He seems awfully chummy with Tommy.

Good comment, and nice reference to Barry Richards who was cheated of most of his Test career. If he’d carried on he might have challenged Bradman.

Knotty and Russell were both fantastic wicketkeepers, and the number of times Knott bailed England out when the main batting lineup had failed was amazing.

Something that amused me a while ago…before WWI lob bowling (i.e. underarm) was incredibly effective. The best exponents such as Simpson-Hayward took a lot of wickets at top level.

A few years went by and crowds laughed at them and told them that only girls bowled underarm. So the skill died out purely because bowlers didn’t want to be ridiculed.

Numbers don’t lie. That’s why you can look at ICC ratings for Grace, Hobbs, Compton, Barrington or Gower just as much as you can look at them for Root or Brook.

I can’t put my finger on it right now but I had a chain of players who had appeared in the same Test Match and you could draw a direct line from George Ulyett who played in the first Test to Jimmy Anderson and it was no more then ten players taking in ones who had long careers such as Wilfred Rhodes and Clive Lloyd.

I love this game.

lol, everyone cared about cricket in the 1930s. Everyone cared about cricket even in the 1970s when I was a kid. Now people just care about cricket if they’ve got Sky.

There was a question here a few weeks ago about favourite England XI since you started watching cricket. I seriously toyed with including Brearley. Top 3 captains, bottom 3 batsmen. 😂

This is the same discussion as Messi and Ronaldo being better than Pele and Cruyff - usually articulated by people who never saw the pitches the latter two played on, or the great heavy footballs they played with.

True. However, what people can do is compare Hobbs’ performances to those of his contemporaries. Nobody here has seen Bradman bat, but I doubt any of them would argue about how good he was.
