I’m not sure the “doesn’t run the miles” bit is correct for Cork.

Sorry BC I wasn't dismissing his work ethic, which is very strong, but he's not having to react to being out of position as often as others.

Nice camera + lens combo, that 300mm is seriously heavy !!!!!!!!!

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.

cracking stuff Dan - what camera gear do you use ?

Thankyou

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.

Winterwatch on Tuesday or Wednesday did paw prints. I think these were dog from the definitions they were giving.

It wasn't the same midfield though. I think Cork makes a massive difference

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.

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.

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.

It is an accumulation...... you are absolutely right. But they are an accumulation on the season, so should reflect the success or lack of in that season, shouldn't they? Over last season, Nick Pope missed out on the golden glove on the last day of the season. Some rate him as the best in the divisi...

I'm actually a little bit shocked that some people are rating based on the quality of the opposition or the potential of our players. It doesn't work that way, a player who is known to be bad can have a very good game against good opposition, likewise a world class player can have a poor game again...

A great result but still means some true perspective should be put into the ratings If Brady was so good how come the manager hooked him just after the hour And that was 20 mins before he normally makes changes, unless people are not playing well Just asking as I thought he was average at best when...

dandeclaret

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...

229-4 at the close, an excellent unbeaten century for Matthews, he's been the rock to Sri Lanka's solid first day with the bat, what a contrast to a week ago, but anyone who follows cricket should have known SL couldn't possibly be as bad again, and it looks a good toss to win, put a score on the b...

I must admit I'm surprised at not so much at the comments, because this forum has it's fair share of keyboard warriors, but more so the people who have made them.

Wood gets reward for his fantastic efforts. 197-4 now

Reckon they have to test him. He can't be a key part of a test squad if he can't play back to back games. This year, with the bubble and so many tests is likely to be the exception in terms of rotation.

That 3rd wicket, such a local wicket.

Oh jimmy Jimmy....

This planet has been around for billions of years..... time to appreciate how lucky to be on it at the same time as England's greatest ever bowler.

Didn't watch the game so can't add ratings but was interested to gauge opinions from those that did. Obviously chuffed as anyone with the result and appreciate the significance in ending Liverpool's 68 game unbeaten home run but have to say, am a bit disappointed with some people's reactions to oth...

Similar to the previous board, continue to invest in items with an expected value to the club, both immediately and longer term. Don’t waste money on vanity projects, just because other clubs do it.

There will be improvement in Sri Lanka, but remember England usually start slow and improve, so expect that to come from them too. Soon bowlers took 5 for each, but were getting better the longer the game went on in terms of lengths, rhythm and control.

That stat doesn't look correct to me. A quick look at the league table and even just picking this season all the teams have scored 9 goals after 17 games. I don't think it's as big an achievement as the OP thinks it is.
