  • Apparently Robinson could be in trouble due to something racist he tweeted back in 2012 which has just emerged...

    Totally inexcusable. 

    How bored do you have to be, though, to scroll back 9 years on someone’s Twitter feed to find something to discredit them instead of just ... watching their England debut?

    Seen the tweets in question. Obviously not on, but it’s the exact kind of juvenile stupid shit I was tweeting/posting on Facebook when I was 18. They’re also not that explicit, just bad jokes, that are racist. 

    Just sounds like classic gutter journalism.

    Remember Andre Gray getting a ban for something similar.

    I think it's crazy people getting a ban for stuff they tweeted years ago whilst a teenager.  Are people not allowed to change, grow up and hopefully apologise? 

    Also looking at the tweets - stupid and ill-informed rather than malicious.


  • A slight negative to the day - look who was sat near me - utter tool
  • I’d have found that incredibly difficult to reign myself in.

    He had his two young sons with him + I was with a client

    BUT I am very pleased to advise you that I was at a Test at Lords in 2019, pissed up, and gave BOTH Mogg and Farage dogs abuse behind the Tavern Stand towards the end of play when me and my mates saw them chatting whilst Farage had a cigarette 

    Mogg said to us that it was not the sort of behaviour he expected to see at Lords - my mate’s response of ‘why don’t you F off you toffee nosed C’ did the trick
    Was he/and you thrown out?

    Nope - he and Farage went back up to hospitality, and we walked to Nursery End for a couple more pints

    Ok - not something you like to see at Cricket, but both loathsome people and the beer mist came down

    I'm thankful that all the dodgy opinions I had when I was young were spoken, and hence completely forgotten about
  • Brexit is causing untold problems for me and my family - I'm not sure I'd be fussed if I ruined his family day out to the cricket.

    Anyway, apologies, not the thread.

    A good days cricket although not in our favour - Conway was fabulous.

    Said this on here a few times but I wish we played New Zealand more in Test Cricket. We always have good games and they always play the game in the right way. Yet another 2 Test series against them... :(
  • Is the Byron Gould in those tweets one of the Gould’s who crop up on the club cricket thread ?

    Yes it is - he is the talented big hitter who was in the Kent Academy at that time with Robinson and also Adam Ball

    I was trying to find stats of bowlers who had taken the wickets of the most different batsmen. Only found batsman dismissed the most by the same bowler. Three of the top four were Mike Atherton, out to McGrath (19 times!) Ambrose and Walsh. Did he just play against Australia and West Indies? Fair enough we are talking about three of the most prolific ever fast bowlers
    Alec Bedser dismissed Arthur Morris 18 times in Tests.  Morris was no bunny either.   He outscored Bradman in the 1948 test series.
  • He was the odd one out amongst the athertons

    I guess staying in against most & struggling against 3 of the very best isn't that much of a criticism.

    I gather he was bit of a tool back then but has grown up a lot in his 20s; not exactly alone there is he !

    I suspect the ECB will have to ban him for it; there’s too much precedent.  It’s the kind of thing I’d be sacked for.

  • We wait 40 minutes to bring Wood on, and he's now picked up Nicholls and Watling
  • Great use of the review. 
  • We won't see a better review than de Grandhomme's dismissal all Summer. Great work by Root. 
  • Three now for Wood. 
    Nwe Zealand six down.
    England right back in this. 
  • Santner gone for a duck. 
  • 4 wickets taken for 6 runs since Wood and Robinson came on
  • Three now for Wood. 
    Nwe Zealand six down.
    England right back in this. 
    Love test cricket, what other sport and what other game could you be battered for a whole day and then still be right back in the game. 
    Golf.
  • Shaping up to be a very good match - we always seem to have them v NZ, don't we?
