Has been decent but more importantly I feel that I’m now at an age where I could be seen in the audience at the Hootenanny and blend in easily.

I’m with you on that.

The willingness to dig in has gone. There have been days in this series where it should have been a batsman’s paradise and they have tossed their wickets away. Entertaining seems to have trumped winning

A disgrace of a pitch, just like Perth.

Glad you’re okay Nige. Look after yourself

Felt the same just after Christmas. Couldn’t continue in that environment. It has taken a long time to adjust to.

That just doesn’t work on any level. Proof that there is no viable alternative to a North Staffs unitary and rest of Staffordshire unitary

The north coast of Ireland is worth a visit, Nigel. I can highly recommend

It’s looking more even now. Still fancy India, especially if Pant gets going

India - they’re absolutely nailed on to win now I reckon

🤣 Fair play Nige!

That predictor is way off. There is no way Derby will be anywhere near the drop zone in the 25/26 season.

Great to see young Williams make it at last, especially as he really should still be on the Youth Cabinet!

Yes, I remember Sharon telling me about the connection to Stan and Marj.

Another connection is being the minister who established the Democracy Commission for Stoke which ended the Council Manager & Mayor model of governance in the city and permanently for English local government.
