Yes, great fightback from 112-5 to 302-7. I didnt see the first session & a half (like my bed too much) but there seemed to be a fair bit of variable bounce later for a first day. As above, difficult to evaluate 300+ on this wicket until India bat but its certainly not a bad effort. Hopefully Root +...

Procter was probably the best allrounder in the world when South Africa exited test cricket. He had 20 odd test wickets in the final series v Australia at 13 each in 1970. He averaged 48 with the bat and 23 with the ball for Rest of the world v England in 1970 in a series that was classed as offici...

This would be his 17th different club as a manager I think- he's managed at least a couple of those twice too. I've got to admire his work ethic. he's a year older than me and I've been (happily) retired for 13 years now. He must really love being involved in football, seems like an addiction almost.

That Wales v Scotland game was the classic "game of two halves". Wales were really poor first half and 20-0 didnt flatter Scotland. Then, when 3 minutes into the second half, Scotland went to 27-0 something energized the Welsh and they stormed back. Scotland had all on to hold it to 27-26. Wainwrigh...

Very good and efficient performance from Ireland. Helped the the French went down to 14 but Ireland were on top when France had 15 so no doubt about the value of the win.

I've been watching this on S4C (always worthwhile keeping an eye out on what's on Sgorio if you follow footy and/or rugby union). You can turn the sound off and put subtitles on - they're in English. if you want to pick up the odd bit of Welsh you can keep the sound on and have the English subtitles...

Did they really say it "would" save you £100 per year rather than "could". In my (largely newish) town we went (I think non-voluntary) metered quite a few years ago.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong but I cant see us getting past 30 points for the season. Of course that wont be anywhere near enough to keep us in the EPL (unless there are some major points reduction penalties for a couple of teams).

I was at uni in Cardiff 1968-72 and whilst footy was my game, I played a few friendly ( :D ) games of RU and couldnt help but get enthused about the game and the excellence of the Welsh team at the time (tough being English sometimes though). Wales had such a good team in that era and their players ...

Yes he was a truly great player, read the game brilliantly, tackled and passed so well.
Made the sweeper (libero?) role fashionable for quite a while. (loved that role myself in my heyday).

Back in the day, a trip to Lillywhites whilst in London was a must. Every sport catered for, across the various floors, in a fantastic building in Piccadilly Circus.

It is a criminal offence not to have a licence. You can end up with a record if you are done. Is it worth not getting a job for the sake of a TV licence.

Aye, far to many bad balls there. What's happened to Sam Curran though? He used to be a decent "death" bowler but that 49th over was just awful. It is difficult bowling when there an established batsmen in excellent form but that was dire. Fair play to Shai Hope there though- a real captain's innings.

Such a pity as a spectacle when the crowd for a final is so partisan and one-sided. A 6 from Travis Head greeted with silence apart from the obligatory fireworks.
