9th highest spenders in the PL, 16th in Europe as it stands!

We should get about 130 points in the Championship next season with this squad

Just says breach of league rules on the League website. I've a feeling they fielded an ineligible player in the Cup. But I may be wrong. There are a couple of Walsden members who post on here who I am sure will know. I'm sure it was something to do with allegedly trying to count a banned players su...

They are outstanding bowling figures for any player but at his age it's remarkable.

He's in a far healthier position now than he was a couple of years ago where he continued to play, despite having a very serious illness.

I've heard they're keeping an eye on him, one for the future apparently ....

Nah, he's never been much of a "groundsman"

Got to say it's the first time I've seen the MOM awarded to a player who gets 1 for, and didn't bat..

Is Man up actually a thing?

Lots going around, my wife works for the NHS and is pretty sick this weekend, all the usual stuff, bad head, cold sweats feeling dizzy.

Son has also just got back from Zante and he's got it too, apparently it's widespread over there at the minute too.

Please no...They look marginally ok when all fresh and newly painted..But as they begin to fade and become weather worn they look hideous..

Andreshotboots

I agree, he's a class act and the glue that holds them together.

I also think Walker is massively underated as a player too.

Andreshotboots

Young, and naive and it showed, but we will improve quickly. To be fair I thought the opposite. Those young players could have quite easily gone chasing the game and losing our shape and been picked off, then it's 5/6 again.. I thought they stuck to the plan pretty well, considering that's their fi...

The future is bright..very bright for our wonderful football club

Andreshotboots

We halved the deficit from the last meeting..

In all seriousness had to watch from home tonight. Thought we played some good stuff at times and will cause problems for teams in our "section" of the league.

They'll stuff far better teams than us for sure..

Sort of fits as there's lots of hills in the way between Burnley and Sheffield.

I was fortunate enough to be involved in cricket at a reasonably high level and it's probably my favourite sport. I refuse to give this abomination house room. How can you be invested in any of the teams? I don't support Lancashire but if I did I would find it very difficult to follow a team with M...

I'm still laughing my head off at home. A die hard Rovers fan I know, and to be fair he's a great lad and was very complimentary of us last season, is currently spitting feathers. His lad has just come home from a summer camp and said he doesn't want to watch Rovers anymore and he wants to go and wa...

Apparently only 12 months left on his contract, but very much like the Tarky situation here a couple of years back, surely better for Sheffield to forego the £12? million now and hope he plays a significant part in keeping them in the PL and all the riches that entails. Then let him walk at the end...

A lot I think from what I read last week

That explains a lot then. Watch out for the cranes moving in to reclaim the land next to Clowbridge Reservoir and a super stadium going up..

A very cautious approach from me personally and I'd snap up an offer of 17th right now. We dramatically changed last the team last year with a whole host of incomings and it clicked..Will that happen in a far superior league, who knows? We will also be experiencing many things we didn't last year, n...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Literally laughed out loud. You painted a vivid picture, brilliant. That would be a match made in heaven for me. Somebody who've I've had the misfortune to spend some time with is in the power corridors of Darwen FC, and he's also the most arrogant b*****d fan you could meet.

Andreshotboots

Basically if you allowed that you could bowl around the wicket trying to get the ball to hit the stumps behind the batter - would make it hard for the batter to attempt to play a shot constantly across his/her body. It’s a bit of a blind spot so they’ve allowed a batsmen to be allowed to pad those ...

Good. The club are very "sign ist" too 😃. A mate of mine took one on saying "Johan, I don't want your shirt,but can I have your wife"? Just for a bit of fun. JBG and the others players were laughing their backsides off, unfortunately a rather miserable steward decided to rip it up. In all seriousnes...

79.4 overs bowled in the day. Even with the innings change that’s poor. Just need to fine the players 1% of their match fee for every over not bowled that is purely down to slow over rate and doesn't have mitigating circumstances, the over rate would soon improve trust me. Need to scrap drinks brea...

Having never faced a bowler at that sort of pace, I really can’t imagine what it’s like. With my eyes currently, I’d probably find Moeen Ali too quick for me. 😀😀 My brother in law (ex rugby player),used to call cricketers softies, wearing whites, all that padding, not playing in the rain etc, all t...

He doesn't, it's only you that thinks that. Everyone else can see the benefit of him bowling economically. Anderson bowled with an economy of 2.65 in the second test, this enabled the others to attack, and they all went at over 4 Totally agree. Jimmy has used his experience to work out that he's no...

Andreshotboots

Those Wood spells are huge aren't they? During the last test, one of the commentators, I think it might have been Ian Ward, asked Ricky Ponting whether he enjoyed facing such pace. Ponting said that no batsman enjoys it. That's what the great West Indian teams were based on in the 70s and 80s, a ba...

I thought he bowled well with precious little luck

Agreed, I thought he lacked a little zip but Jimmy bowling 20 overs economically allows the likes of Wood to roar in for spells with no concern really about conceding runs..

Just over £1000 for a 4 ball.

The ground and crowd look massive...anyone any idea of how many spectators were there yesterday?

Think OT holds 26,000 with the large temporary stand in situ.

Jimmy just doesn't seem to have that zip at the moment, he hasn't all series, he can't keep blaming the pitches..

Worldy by Bairstow. So pleased for him and might keep the haters quiet for a bit

Something like that can really be a turning point for a player.

His confidence will have been given a huge shot in the arm, hopefully that continues with the gloves, and can move into his batting too..

None planned in the North of the UK, its a farce and all the players seem to have spoken out about how disappointed they are No test match north of the Trent in the next Ashes. That's disgusting, if any test should go it's Lords as it's a horrendous atmosphere at that ground, full of corporate peop...

Missed the business end today having gone to the Lancs League at Tod. Will watch the highlights but what a good result.

Should move the one from lords as a penalty for the entitled ones behaving badly last test. Given that England have a poor record at the place, it would be a decent move. That won't happen unless one of Manchester or Leeds would turn over more money - and there would be uproar from the red and yell...

If only it were that simple. Never underestimate the pressure of test cricket, and that is in no way just an England thing. The pressure and mental drain that these matches generate is so intense that even the most chaseable target becomes unattainable. I'd also assume many posters on here haven't ...

I understand the sentiment but it’s not quite as simple as that. If we’d have played a few Boycott innings are you confident we’d be 2-0 up? We've had the Australians on their knees at times, and through sheer crazy shot selection have not only let them back in, but changed the games completely. By...

Yes it’s called Baz ball and that is the way they are told to play . I don't think they're being told to play that way, my issue is there doesn't seem to be any consequences for awful shots they keep playing.

WTF are we doing?........ Woakes slashing away first ball.

Love my cricket but this is getting hard to watch. Doesn't seem a backbone in most of our batsman and we just don't make the bowlers work hard enough for their wickets.
