Re: Your winter photos
Ah it's not too bad 2.4 kg - but It was hand held for about 5 hours and took it's toll eventually. Adding the extender changes the whole feel of it, and I think it changes the fulcrum, so it feels a lot heavier to hold.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 8:09 pmNice camera + lens combo, that 300mm is seriously heavy !!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I was out with a Canon 1DX Mk II and a 300mm f2.8 prime lens, sometimes with a 2X extender on. First time of picking the camera up really for a month, and today my arms and shoulders know it.

Agree fully with you. He doesn’t run the miles, because he reads the game. Knits play, and creates a higher platform to play from. I think his impact is regularly under appreciated.

Re: Vydra (again)
Penalty was good movement, but pretty rotten defending (not for the first time all day). If we’re counting back post headers back across goal as significant contributions, that’s fine as long as it’s applied to all such headers.

That was a Vydra performance wasn’t it?
Good movement, good touch, reasonable pace, very little end product. It’s not a one off, it’s just consistently how he has looked when he has played at this level, for any club.

Re: Sri Lanka Vs England 2nd Test
Big pressure on Sri Lanka really. ~Going into day 4, and first innings still not concluded. Pitch hasn't yet turned into a minefield. They have to score runs, to get a big enough lead to put England under pressure. Could bring plenty of mistakes.

Player ratings should be based on performance. A striker that cost £5m is more than likely going to get 4/10 week in week out if they are playing in the Premier League because that price tag gets you a certain skill set (probably League 1 quality now). They may have the odd game which they play out...
