After that flukey 6 runs surely it has to be England's day.

Doesn't it?

Stokes was left stranded in a previous loss.

Have England learnt the lesson?

Keep the faith fellow clarets.

If it all goes pear shaped there are still the Ashes to look forward to.

Wade and Head have just posted centuries for Australia A.

I am amazed so many are just giving this up with Stokes and Buttler still at the crease.

Yes, we are on a sticky wicket but it's not Geoffrey Boycott at one end and Trevor Bailey at the other,

CT Didn't say I agreed with it I was just posting what the computer indicated. As for the pitch I have watched most games and, shall we say, they have at least been consistent in getting slower as the game goes on. Hardly any of the pitches have been up to standard which is why there have been low s...

Bairstow got away with 2 inside edges on to stumps against India and also 1 against NZ before dragging on.

Surely the obscene amount of money being quoted on here is £45m for Dunk

Especially as one poster seems willing to accept £30m for Tarks

After paying the sell on fee to Brentford that will leave us with diddly squat.

"What I didn't want was to be somebody who was brought on to have balls smashed up to them"

Surely, that's what Crouch has been doing throughout his career isn't it?

England keep saying that they are now an improved team than earlier in the World Cup but that improvement has come from Morgan winning the toss and batting first. Losing the toss makes it difficult on these slow pitches and high percentage of games have been won by teams batting first. Let's hope fo...

It will all come down to the toss of a coin. Whoever wins the toss and bats first will win the game. Slow pitches throughout this World Cup have made it very difficult to chase. England's improved results have come from batting first (chasing didn't work) and restricting the opposition as the pitch ...

Kim Darroch the UK Ambassador to the US has resigned his post amid claims that Boris Johnson threw him under a bus. I was wondering if this was a bus that Boris had made himself out of an old wine crate or as to whether it was the Vote Leave bus. Boris Johnson is only concerned with his own personal...

At one point yesterday in the NZ innings Ross Taylor was being urged by the dressing room to "get on with it" but he signalled back that it was "too difficult". This was picked up by the Sky commentary team who said that it was not giving much confidence to the later batsmen. But...

Many of the younger generation will have to miss out on gap years flying off to Australia and New Zealand and travelling the globe if they are really serious about climate change. Whilst those on lower or average incomes will have to miss out on their foreign holidays the wealthiest in society will ...

If Peter Crouch signs for a full season will he be the highest paid player in the history of BFC for minutes actually spent on the pitch?

"I heard there were hundreds and thousands involved"

That figure seems a bit flakey to me.

With the William Hill announcement today this means that a total of 2,100 shops may close with around 12,500 job losses when Ladbrokes, Corals and Betfred are included. However, this is well short of the figure provided to the government by the bookmaking industry, in an attempt to try and persuade ...

£40 million plus for Tarkowski?

They will all be getting excited down in Brentford at the size of the expected windfall.

Maintaining our PL status means that we can now afford a full season of Peter Crouch.

Even with these proposed closures William Hill will still have around 1600 shops ready to take the punters cash.

Many of the 700 shops due to close were opened purely to take advantage of the growth of FOBT machines since each betting shop was limited to 4 gaming machines.

"Not been a queue of Premier League clubs interested"

If there had been he would never have made it to Burnley anyway since we cannot compete with the wages being offered.

Perhaps we need to be lowering our sights a bit but not quite as low as Crouch and Jagielka.

The notion that the more seasons they spend in the top flight the better prepared Burnley will be to compete on wages and transfer fees was always a false one.
