Milfner Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Ah, so effectively it is trying to get the players back into the county circuit, a good idea. Could have thought of a better name though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, you're going to want to search things besides wikipedia, right? So each of those presumably requires its own white bar next to the address bar, which is clutter (or you merge all the possible search options into one bar, which requires clicking or excessive keystrokes to select the desired search engine.

kidlewis Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 And they'll be celebrating in the streets of Johannesburg tonight....... Too much to ask that you just be happy we have won something? Where did I say I was unhappy? EDIT: But you must fin it rather strange that of the 148 runs scored by England only 12 runs were scored and five balls faced by an Englishman to be fair though it's their own fault for having a racial quota for sporting teams. cost them KP. also the British Empire does have its benefits when it comes to English cricket. Thorpe Hussein Alan Lamb countless others. Aussies will no doubt say it was the southies that won it, but considering their best aussie footballer parents aren't australian they can hardly talk. I mean KPs mother is English so it's not like it's his grandmother or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was English borne and bred; am I wrong ?

djdabush Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I watched county cricket for the first time in years today. Frankly, you can't call many of them athletes, can you? Even Harmison who is on the fringes of the England team looked like he was about to have a heart attack every time he completed his run up.

EDIT: But you must fin it rather strange that of the 148 runs scored by England only 12 runs were scored and five balls faced by an Englishman It just gets a bit tedious, watching the game on Sky yesterday, had to put with Greg Chappell I think it was, Aussie commentator sticking the boot in about it all the time. I don't see what the fuss is about. Admittedly I would rather the side be full of English players, but players like Pietersen, his mother is English and he's spent a large part of his life living here, he's got as much right to play for us as he has South Africa. Not so much with the other two, Morgan is only playing for us as he'll never be able to represent Ireland at the highest level, and the same for Kieswetter. They've got some silly quota system they have to fulfill in SA so the door gets shut in the faces of some talented players like Kieswetter. But isn't one of his parents British though? Anyway, well done England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hampshire got 341-6 from their 40 overs against Warwickshire. Can't see us winning this, but who knows. Goes completely against the formbook so far, Bears have won all 5, Hampshire have lost all 4 of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was spared this humiliation 'cos was riding a time trial in Nottinghamshire so couldnt go. Did an appalling time in the race and then got back to this ! So a great day all round.

I wondered if he was on some sort of international duty. Warks have certainly missed him. My T20 tickets have just come so hope he is back for them.
