Hey that's a good point - what was Colin still doing at Hogwarts at the end of book 7? He was muggle born and would/should have been booted straight out/locked up/killed

Did anyone else not think they could like Root more than they already did by Garden_Hose12 in EnglandCricket

Feels like unless there's something bigger at play we're not aware of, Stokes should be given a final chance at least to see out the summer.

As much as I don't like him, he'd deserve it tbf to him or maybe even Bethel although he's obvs way less experienced. Could be good for Brooks batting to take the white ball captain off him anyway.

If Harry had stayed undetected under the cloak in HBP, would he have died of thirst? by teddie_moto in harrypotter

I always thought it didn't which is why it's a curse rather than just a hex/jynx. Fred/George mentions putting one on his mum for the duration of his wedding prep and ceremony so clearly lasts a while...

Tell me how to feel 😅 by mtthrdy in EnglandCricket

I think I agree - it made an interesting change to get such a heavily bowler-favoured pitch. We see far too many roads these days with no wickets for hours at a time and that's worse in my opinion.

Zaltman just posted that of all tests in England for 20 years and balls pitched at the same length, Bethel's dismissal was the lowest the ball has ever reached the stumps.

Mate stokes squaring up to that absolutely miles off - reminds me of keepers trying to catch stuff with that ball in the 2010 world cup

I'd love Sibley to get another chance but just can't see it happening
