We've been at and around this level for a couple of years now. I don't worry about peaking too soon, more our capacity to completely self-destruct every now and then. As a neurotic England fan, you just know that game will be a semi final at the WC, instead of a dead rubber against Bangaladesh!

Nah. Change it so managers can't be changed until they've seen out their contract

ECB reveals new details of The Hundred.... https://www.cricket.com.au/news/the-hundred-details-revealed-by-ecb-new-england-cricket-competition/2019-02-22

If England don't win the world cup, it'll be the cricketing equivalent of Brazil's failure in 1982! We have the most destructive one day batting line up I've ever seen. Is Roy now the universe boss?

This thread man, jesus.

We keep trying different openers that repeatedly fail, none has shown anything other than flashes of potential for years now. In the absence of any obvious candidates for the role, I say just stick Roy & Hales at the top and tell them to play their natural game. I can't see how they could do a worse job than any of these other guys and we might even get the odd decent start to an innings once in a while!

Absolutely not. He's even more injury prone than the Australian quicks!

The important thing is the mileage on the clock, rather than the age.

Interesting position he finds himself in now, being managed by MON and Keane.

Hard to fault Solskjaer so far, doing a great job. Reckon they'll nab a CL place, which looked out of reach under Jose.

I hate all you folk with snow. I want snow. I love snow. I love the cold. Instead I'm sitting here waiting for a 39 degree weekend of hell

It's interesting that England's batsmen look great at times but cave in under the slightest pressure, just like Ramprakash did. It's also interesting that Australia's batting coach is Graeme Hick - and the Australia batsmen look great at times but cave in under the slightest pressure, just like Hick did.

Yes please. No subs in injury time would be a good call.

Good night out at Marvel Stadium last night to see Melbourne Renegades beat Hobart Hurricanes, although if I'm honest I was slightly disappointed not to see a gladiatorial fight between Thor and Hulk. Still, over 18,000 people for a Monday night was not a bad effort.

Who else would you pick? Lots of different batting options that are much of a muchness... they have a real lack of batting talent at the moment in red ball cricket. Glen Maxwell is the only person who would clearly improve the team, but Langer doesn't get on with him. Absolutely no doubt there was ball tampering in the Ashes - the ball always went back to the bowler via Warner, who had his hand bandaged <cough> for pretty much the whole series.

Pujara, currently sitting on 183 not out in the 4th test of the Aus/Ind series as I type, has now batted a staggering 18 hours longer in this series than any Aussie batsman! India well on course for their first series win in Australia. Australia have been mostly woeful this series, I suspect they'll get trounced in the Ashes this year - with or without Warner & Smith.

After 4 days of test cricket during the day and a Big Bash game every night, I think I may have overdosed on cricket this Christmas.

Horrendous story from Riise about Bellamy on Liverpool trip to Barcelona in 2005... https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/dec/28/craig-bellamy-raised-the-club-and-swung-he-could-have-ended-my-career-john-arne-riise-liverpool

They're employees. Money doesn't come into it... they need to be motivated and treated right by their bosses like everyone else, or they won't give their best.

Just clarifying that despite what others have said, the best Christmas movie is actually Elf.
