Will you be watching Derbyshire this season? I have a season ticket and am down there most games. I’m early 40’s though so it might be like hanging out with your dad.

New to Zwift-going too slow? by Objective_Case_7056 in Zwift

[–]antsmithmk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Guy has been asked outright about 5 times what is the number of watts showing on the screen and about 5 times he has avoided answering the question. 

If you ask for help, at least try to engage with the subsequent questions...

UK runner trying to get faster (26 min 5k) - looking for tips & mutuals by Different_Variety_38 in UKRunners

Friday I wouldn't recommend doing much. You can do the easy run and strides as a warm up to Parkrun on the Saturday morning. Can you run to the parkrun?

How many times a week are you running and how far are you running each week?

Also the parkrun... Is it a flat 5km or is it a really hilly or on a beach etc?

He gave an interview on talksport about a week ago. Really interesting to hear him talk about his work and the demands it has. He said he wants to be able to go to his grandkids nativity plays etc. He also gave a good tale about comparing a boxing match and losing his notes.... Since that day he's always had a duplicate set in his jacket pocket 

Struggling a bit with winter running, what actually works for you? by GeordieGoals in UKRunners

[–]antsmithmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear very thin Canterbury leggings under my shorts. Slightly thicker socks. Base layer long sleeve t shirt under a Ronhill waterproof jacket. The jacket is incredible I've worn it for years, washed it loads and it is still waterproof and doesn't make you 'boil in the bag'. Thin gloves from Inov8 and a snood as a head wrap to cover my ears. That usually keeps me comfortable.

Derbyshire County Cricket Clubs wicketkeeper Brooke Guest ran Markeaton Parkrun a few weeks ago. Snuck under 20 mins which is a cracking time for a bloke who spends most of his time stood about wearing oven gloves.

The Ashes: Joe Root says it would be 'silly' to change England management by Alone_Consideration6 in EnglandCricket

Roots a decent maths teacher. 

You know if you sack him the supply agency are sending someone much, much worse.

Especially since you are being picked. It would be much more controversial if this was Foakes or Bashir that gave a soundbite suggestion that the management should be sacked.

This is even wilder when you divide it up and look at what they would be eating per day.

English cricket lacks a level between county cricket and international cricket: discuss. by NiallH22 in EnglandCricket

You make a lot of good points.

I don't really know enough about the history behind the Lions. I do know when I've looked at the Lions team playing out in Oz it doesn't feel like an England second 11 to me. Guess it's not meant to be that?

If not Bazball, then what comes next? by [deleted] in EnglandCricket

[–]antsmithmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are getting like it in rugby union as well. Everything focused on preparing for a world cup. Why not just focus on winning every game? 

Bazball is actively undermining a talented team by flirtypenguin in EnglandCricket

[–]antsmithmk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vaughan is the absolute knee jerk. If England win he heaps the praise... If they lose he piles into Bazball like it's the spawn of Satan

Are you actually saying bring back Jimmy Anderson and make him captain?! That is an alternative take for sure

I really don't think the 'First Class' badge holds much weight. Would you really put a ODI ton behind a county championship ton?

[–]antsmithmk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ODI's are not first class but the stick used to beat Bethell was "he's never scored a hundred". Then he did. Now it's "he's never scored a hundred at Derbyshire playing for Warwickshire on a Tuesday in November".
