:nod: If I was only allowed to watch one TV series, it would be The World at War.

Only giving Zak a one year contract is interesting - a shot across the bows (which flies to second slip)

Aw cheers Sir C. Missed you too

NLD I'd prefer MLS to play anyway.

Cala is just being rested for the more important match for Italy, against the Nogs

Mark Wood broken :-( Well, a precautionary scan on a sore hamstring. Stokes takes 5 in warm up. He'll bowl himself to breaking point.

Could not agree more gg

Yeah but it's not the Waca.....which might actually have suited our bowlers

That second innings :love: Had plans to go this time but fate intervened

At least we don't have Brisbane 1st up as we always lose there. I do have to agree with Sir Geoff, we'll be rocking up to the 1st test with very...

I'd settle for a Joe Root century - that will she ****ers up for a while. Be interesting to see what the pitches are like. Brisbane day nighter is an...

Been listening to the audiobook of Paul Davis's autobiography. Brought back some great memories - 87 Littlewwods Cup alone makes it all worthwhile....

Their line up is a bit....old

You'll soon be sick of me again

Cheers I - hopefully behere a bit more often

Atkinson and Stokes will play all five Tests if fit with the other four rotating (Archer and Wood first up). I think Tongue could cause problems -...

You clearly havent seen Australia bat recently

Still a few issues but getting there

Cavaliers had the better uniforms from an aesthetic point but Roundheads were more 'fit for purpose'

The rumour up here from a City fans I know is that Foden suffers from Crohns Disease, hence why he's so up and down in form and fitness

I know, it's ridicules. Back in the day, you rarely even saw a league table until 7 or 8 games in. See where we are after 25 games.

Tbh, I'll worry about that nearer the time. Just want 6 points from the next 2 games.

On the subject of **** reffing, the officials were shocking in the Arsenal women's match....4 major decisions and got every one wrong :hehe:

Pity, they'll have 9 players at the AFCON when City go there.

Madueke and Martinelli both trained with the squad today.

It's certainly not supposed to be as bouncy as the Waca was. Still a very potent bowling line up, assuming they all don't break.

Havertz or Madueke must be the closest to full fitness. We'll probably pick up injuries in the pointless international break

Good to have you back, all better? Odd that MLS has been dropped by Tuchel and also not in U21 side
