Gloucester Saint

Or Eddie Jack, who has taken three wickets this morning for England A v SA A at Beckenham. Mind you, Codi Yusuf took three wickets for them as England were bundled out for 193, Mayes out of a duck (one of Tiaan van Vuren’s 5 wickets). Failing that, just replace Wood with someone from the crowd.

Has to do his bit to mitigate for his client but about as indefensible a behaviour and crime as they come for its type of offence. 130mph is my car’s top speed, I can’t imagine needing or wanting to use that on any road, let alone in a built-up area, without the aggravating add-on of laughing gas. And recording a video of their appalling behaviour.

Body feeling better focusing on limited overs. 11 off the first three balls set the tone. He bowled well too. As you say, great learning for Manny where the bowlers were generally taking hammer. With the exception of Will Jacks and Chris Wood, Hants outbowled Surrey comprehensively.

I was just about to post the same. Poor bloke around my age walking to work and gets mown down by those two cunts doing 130mph in a 30mph zone. And that’s without the Nitrous Oxide ballon, no insurance etc. The younger one was about to start an apprenticeship - lucky escape Network Rail and all who on travel on the railways. No consolation for the bloke they murdered though. Judge gave the strongest sentence they were able and GMP think it’s possibly a record for a single fatality incident. Why is it that scrotes like this never hit trees head on, end up killing innocent people or pets instead? Probation Service - no early release for these two please, however full the prisons are by 2037/38.

68-3 with Prest and Dawson tucking into the Surrey attack, with Tom Curran and Jordan Clark bowling too straight. Majid got mauled by Albert earlier on. Ahead of the rate by quite a bit, hopefully this stand builds between Prest and Dawse and then the overseas boys can smash us home with 2-3 overs to spare. 84-3 off 9 - good going lads. Shit - Curran has been crap but got Tom Prest out for 25. Well ahead on rate so keep our heads and should win.

Helping Albert but Weatherley’s form lasted all of one game. Vince not quite off the plane yet. Toby Albert did well in the Blast last year, hopefully again as Stubbs and Cartwright can’t do it all every time. Balls - jinxed it, Albert out for 30. Go Dawse though, 11 off his first 3 balls!

1/63 off 4. Right in the slot for Clark every ball. When you’re pushing 40 and down at barely 70mph, at least have some variations on the crease, angles, moon balls, off/leg cuts. He’d be cannon fodder these days in the Hampshire leagues let alone county white ball. Unless he adopts spin and makes an amazing reinvention, he’s finished as a ‘pace’ bowler. Hopefully Vince, Stubbs and Cartwright do the business despite that. It’s like a little family firm with Wood there though. The nepotism is blatant. Coach ought to know better.

Better sausage fingers than crisp packet wrists e.g. Gavin

Surrey 143-8 but need to see both sides bat. All bowled very well bar Rod’s son in law who was decent many years ago.

I get it, and hospitality has had a horrible few years. And the employers NI was not the way to go. But the public finances are still paying off Eat Out to Help Out and all of the furloughs. Has to be some give and take. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78kg45yx0vo

Raise the Colours are proud, non-violent patriots who want to spread love via the flag. And if you believed them, you’re an even bigger idiot than I thought you were https://metro.co.uk/2026/05/28/raise-colours-founder-billy-allison-charged-murder-bar-owner-28555599/

Don’t do classy often, more likely to find one of the good local pubs serving real ale or a high quality craft beer. Mind you, our Cotswolds rose garden goes pretty nicely with a floral pale ale.

He certainly does for our generation but politics is way more fragmented now which is a journey it’s been on since 2008 really with the Brexit referendum as an accelerant towards the Remain bloc (Lab-Lib-Green) and Leave (Reform-ERGTory-Rupert party) we have now. People are changing allegiance within those blocs but not often between them.

Risk of a waterlogged pitch if you had this Blair and El Hadj Diouf on the same pitch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blair_Spittal
