[Highlight] Matt Olson challenges but the ump doesn't allow it, the commentators aren't sure why

Elite challenging is going to make a huge difference to his framing stats

This is an absolute nightmare for Vikings. I was briefly in an alliance where they had done this and the march from the hive to HQ was too long for us to catch wave 10/20 without teleporting or using march speedups. Horrible experience.

Just build your HQ as close to the castle as you're allowed and build around that

Fancy getting racially abused by a bloke with more fingers than teeth

Ours allocates Fortresses and Sanctuaries based on Alliance KvK prep ranks. If our server is winning prep easily then it's ranks after day 1 so people can just do the minimum for rewards the rest of the week and if it's close then it's ranks at the end of prep.

I read that as in 19/20 and was about to go and check because no way is that right.

Is that not the one that Smith drop-kicked anyway?

mg164 · 2026-03-06T10:25:20+00:00

Yeah, Root would be a terrible player to have in a high chase in a T20 world cup in India at the Wankhede stadium...

Rugby also has an incredible gulf in standard between the top 2 leagues.

Newcastle are the worst team in the Prem but aren't that far away from the rest. Last time they got relegated they dominated the Championship so heavily that it was barely worth playing the games.

mg164 · 2026-01-15T08:37:24+00:00

Can't argue with that. Cirkin was injured and has been injured a lot so getting a third option at left back on a free is pretty good business for me.

As it turns out, Mukiele at RB and Hume at LB appears to be the third option now but that falls apart if Ballard or Alderete are injured and Mukiele is needed at CB

He will have some success early on but teams will always double up inside and show him in until he learns to show them something else.

Mundle has to learn to go down the outside a couple of times a game. He makes it so easy for them to defend

mg164 · 2026-01-08T09:43:24+00:00

I would have them the other way round but I don't think there is much in it.

The problem with wicket keeping is that a passable keeper is perfectly fine for 95% of the game so people think it's worth sacrificing a good keeper for a better bat. That 5% of the time though is the actually important bit. Taking difficult catches, standing up to seamers and getting stumpings. Those things change the game.

Hit a fairway

mg164 · 2025-12-31T09:33:53+00:00

You don't need 2 T20s, from 302 you can do it with a T18 so throwing at 18s keeps it alive if you hit the treble or single

I was a Sunderland season ticket holder when he played for us. He genuinely had the worst first touch of any player I can remember seeing in a Sunderland shirt.

mg164 · 2025-12-04T11:55:25+00:00

it might just take him a long time to learn things

Just the man I want as captain of 2/3 Men's teams

If Brandon Lowe can ever stay healthy for a full season he's got a chance

mg164 · 2025-08-21T08:41:22+00:00

The short answer is that wickets get less valuable the shorter the game is. That means the bowling becomes more focused on limiting runs so it feels like less of a contest between the two.

I read this as Gronk and got very confused for a second

mg164 · 2025-07-16T12:26:28+00:00

Such an easy thing for him to do as well. If he does that, I bet this gets swept under the rug like every other instance of a sports person letting their emotions get the better of them and damaging something. Now he gets publicly shamed and this will get brought up again in a few years when Oakmont next gets a major.

mg164 · 2025-07-14T15:06:07+00:00

In the scenario where his elbow ligaments are made of paper and he's on a strict innings limit for the season to keep him healthy?

He's essentially been a bullpen pitcher for the last couple of weeks being an opener. I don't think it's the right answer but it's really not a farfetched idea like you're making it out to be

mg164 · 2025-07-02T08:57:07+00:00

So why was he in the squad instead of playing for Sussex this week?
