    Jos Buttler is just a different beast in T20 cricket. Sixes all over the shop. Nearly on his 3rd IPL ton this season.
  2. Jim Lawlor has left. He was very reputable... Wow, I thought he was younger, about 26/27. He's fvcked his career staying at Man Utd. Perhaps becoming a mercenary and playing for the paychecks? I'm surprised he's not gone to PSG to be honest. He'd slot right in there.
  3. I got 10 out of 13. More out of guessing countries than actually knowing it was Tilke.

    Can't go wrong with a chicken wing-fest on a barbecue on a sunny Bank Holiday. Happy days.
  5. He does look a bit slow, looks to me like he was expecting someone to be there, then just looked lost and had no idea which way to get off stage
  6. He can get it for free on the Play Store.

    Used my brothers pizza oven for the first time. So easy yet so tasty, looks great too... Can confirm there are no pineapples anywhere near the making of tuis pizza.
  8. Doesn't need to be that. Johnson made the rules. He set out the rules for the public to be required to follow. Johnson lied in parliament. Sunak lied in parliament. They said they followed the rules. They did not. They denied any responsibility a few months ago. Now they say they take full responsibility. Which is it going to be? They've made a mockery of their 'leadership'. In fact, they've shown little to none of it. The cowardly minions who absolve them of any wrongdoing or responsibility are just as bad. 'Oh he apologised? That's okay then, move on!' Totally missing the point. Johnson and his lapdogs are pathetic. They are not fit to lead. Not fit to govern. Not fit to hold any power whatsoever. They have no shame and do not represent me. They are nothing to be proud of and should be held in no esteem at all. They need to do the honourable thing and resign. But honour is a foreign unknown concept to them. They wouldn't know what honour is if it was staring straight at them or slapped them in the face. They are cowards, the lot of them. Shameful, embarrassing, contemptible, deceitful, disgraceful. I really could go on.
  9. Several injured in a shooting in NYC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61082792 Undetonated explosives found, too, but cleared up.
  10. Is that @Danny the ex-West Ham fan? @CaaC (John) should know. Any ideas?

    Do you have the same kind of voice as old gravel-eater?
  12. I reckon he went to Japan. He just forgot to tell us about it this time.
  13. Depends what device you're using. Larger devices like a laptop or notebook it'll show everything. Smaller devices will have limited options.
  14. what. the. actual. fuck. Did I just pre-empt something by a year?

    Go for it! Enjoy it nonetheless. Like any sport it probably takes a few events or matches to get properly into it (if you really want to!). You're welcome - ask away!

    Cricket

    Do you know what format of match it is? It'll differ if it's a Test Match, One Day International (ODI) or T20 match. General rules in any format: 11 players per side. Each side plays an innings - in Test matches, each side gets two innings. The side batting first will aim to score as many runs* as possible The side bowling first will aim to get the batting side out by 10 wickets** and restricting them to as few runs as possible The bowling side will bowl 'overs'. An over is where a bowler gets 6 balls to bowl at the batsman. *Scoring/Runs Batsmen can 'run' in between the stumps after hitting the ball. This can be any amount of runs - generally 1, 2 or 3 as the fielding side will often get the ball back to the bowler or wicket-keeper. 'Boundaries'. Two types. A four is where the batsman hits the ball and it gets to the 'boundary' on the perimeter of the pitch after hitting the ground. A six is where the ball is hit and goes over the boundary, without hitting the floor There are also 'extras' such as wides, no balls, leg-byes. **Wickets Various ways to get a batsman out include: Bowled out - the bowler hits the stumps and the bails (on top of the stumps) are removed Leg-before-wicket - LBW - the ball hits the batsman infront of the line of the stumps without hitting the bat. Caught out - the batsman has hit the ball and the fielder catches it without hitting the ground Run out - the fielding side has thrown the ball to the bowler or wicket-keeper and the bails are removed, with ball in hand, before the batsman has made it back to their crease. T20 is where you'll get the most fun and fireworks - there's more likely to be big hitting from the batsman and that's usually what excites the crowds these days. It lasts 20 overs each innings. ODIs are 50 overs each side. Test Matches - hold a bit more tactics and strategy and are much longer, lasting over 5 days. A purer form of cricket! The best, in my opinion!
