    The Cricket Thread

    It’s all but over, and for the 2nd time in his life my younger brother will be getting on a plane with Ashes tickets when the series is already over 🙈 At least they can now blood some of the other batsmen, oh wait…..

    Rob Key’s job has to be up for discussion, too.

    Random Irritations

    There is a parking bay outside our house, plenty of space for four cars, unless an idiot parks 2m into the start, or leaves 2m at the end, it seems to be happening more often and I’m considering some passive aggressive notes, even though I hardly park there.

    There seems a real lack of intelligence / match awareness, some of which you get by playing matches and gaining experience..... Take Crawley in the last Test, he was going well, scoring nicely with drives down the ground, then out of nowhere he tries to walk down the wicket and clip one, luckily...

    Hire of your Pro’s studio ?

    I used one at a club last night, they've converted an area so there are a number of bays, pool, darts etc. I paid £18 for an hour, members pay £12.

    I watched from 0345 yesterday, but thankfully overslept today, not sure I'll bother from here on in! I've only seen some snippets, Pope can now enjoy a few weeks in the sun as he won't be playing again, it did seem like Aus pitched the ball up more than we did. The whole Basheer thing needs an...

    Random Irritations

    People who can’t pronounce the name of the company they work for, I had to tell someone today they pronouncing it wrong, I’m not even sure they realised!

    Best course played & why?

    You've just reminded me of the golf I played on my Honeymoon in Vermont - https://www.sprucepeak.com/play/mountain-golf/ - the Mountain course was top notch, amazing views!

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    First round for 7wks, I had a lesson a couple of weeks ago and I’ve done very little practice, decided to eat rather than warm up…. Started double/bogey/bogey, chucked in a couple more to be +6 after 7, I then steadied the ship with par’s on 8 & 9. After another sausage bap at the turned I...

    Sad to see Wood have to go home, but not a huge surprise, adds pressure to Jof who might have sat a match, had we had Wood and not been 0-2 down......

    Pineridge closure.

    I'd be hugely surprised if it closed down, it must be a massive cash cow for Crown Golf, we play it regularly at £55 a head and it's always busy.

    2025 Formula 1 season

    Happy for Lando, and that it was a decent race with at least some form of jeopardy. Looking forward to seeing the new cars next year!

    It makes you realise how good the Sky coverage is, especially the presenting team/pundits, plus the extra bits they show during the breaks. Despite being very annoyed about how we batted in the 1st Test, and our continued insistence with Z Crawley at the top of the order, I was up at 0400 this...
