He won't be gloating when Surrey sign their best players next week!Callumcafc said:5 -
I know for a fact that 10 out of the starting 11 for Worcs voted Brexit, Trump, and UKIP.3

Not really Kent related but didn't want to make a whole new topic for it. Great to see that both Ireland and Afghanistan were granted test status today.
Wonder if their first test match will be against each other?3 -
There's an MCC match against Afghanistan in July at Lord's, might go to thatCallumcafc said:Not really Kent related but didn't want to make a whole new topic for it. Great to see that both Ireland and Afghanistan were granted test status today.

Very good news. Afghanistans rise has been pretty incredible.Callumcafc said:Not really Kent related but didn't want to make a whole new topic for it. Great to see that both Ireland and Afghanistan were granted test status today.

I can't help feeling this has come a couple of years too late for Ireland though. Back then most of their players were at their peak and playing well with freedom and confidence. More recently they have seemed to be playing with fear and not to their best. A lot of their players best days are behind them - Joyce, The O'Brien brothers, Wilson, Porterfield, Murtagh etc. There's doesn't seem to be the young players coming through to replace them particularly the batsmen. There have been a few bowlers coming through who have impressed, Chase looked good on the games against England and a for Boyd Rankin to lead the attack is a good start. I just hope they have the players coming through to keep them up otherwise they could be in real danger of losing test status in a couple of years if a number of players retire at once.0 -

Day/Night games this round of the Championship.
Good innovation once or twice a season, or the death of cricket as we know it ?0 -
Jessie's fannying around with their pink balls in the dark might be acceptable on Hampstead Heath but it's spitting on the grave of a once great game. If I had my way we'd go back to uncovered wickets, ban all protection apart from the trusty box and remove the memsahibs from the members pavillion.MrOneLung said:Day/Night games this round of the Championship.

Is your Username ironic because I really don't see you as being particularly jolly or one to bring gifts! Maybe it's just the time of year and the heat that's got to you.SantaClaus said:

Yes of course it's ironic. I'm actually a miserable little man huddled up in a damp, cold bedsit spitting my bile out across the internet :-) Or it could be that my favourite Charlton player was Claus Jenson and Santa Claus is a nod in his direction.Addick Addict said:

Just looked at the team
Billings at 5 as a specialist batsman, Dickson opening, Milne playing in place of Tahir, indeed no spinner at all?0 -
Ah but we have Denly! And we never actually had Tahir but I know who you mean ;-)killerandflash said:Just looked at the team

Tredders would throw a jar of his chutney at you for suggesting that Denly was a spinner!Addick Addict said:
