Brilliant series. Underrated, for sure. So many good characters across the board. Probably one of my favourites that I watched last year.

ODI team of the Year Rohit Sharma (India) Jonny Bairstow (England) Virat Kohli (India) (capt) Joe Root (England) Ross Taylor (New Zealand) Jos Buttler (England) (wk) Ben Stokes (England) Mustafizur Rahman (Bangladesh) Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) Kuldeep Yadav (India) Jasprit Bumrah (India) Big achievement for an Afghani to make it. They (and Bangladesh) in the last 3-5 years have really improved their quality amongst the teams.

Yeah I don't really have any complaints for the team tbh. Perhaps would have had Pujara in there. Surprised Pant made it but that's a big feat considering he's relatively new to the team and already making teams of the year.

Thoughts, gents? @Spike@Devil-Dick Willie @Azeem @IgnisExcubitor @Mel81x

I can see why it gets tasty in the middle. I watched 4 episodes yesterday and I'm really enjoying it, too. Plenty of mystery and twists and interesting character traits about it and not just in the obvious ways that you'd relate with a drama like this. I can't quite work out if the main girl (Beck) is hot or not

Easyjet are definitely the one for short-haul flights. We used to do Monarch when I was a bit younger for the slightly longer flights (3-4 hours to south of Spain) but then they started charging more and Easyjet came in to prominence and now obviously Monarch out of business. I've flown Ryanair once and it was fucking disgusting. Plane looked like it hadn't been cleaned, you get much less space than Easyjet planes and obviously they charge you for hand luggage. They're both budget airlines which I can totally accept but the difference between the two is still quite significant. Agreed. I've never flown business or first class even on long-haul. Best flight I've ever been on was when I went SA via Dubai a couple years ago; the plane wasn't full so we had a whole row to ourselves, therefore 3 seats to ourselves to lie down and make more room for ourselves. Plus drinks and food was complimentary so you obviously take the piss out of that. It somewhat helps (or prolongs) the inevitable jetlag when you land . That was on an Emirates flight and even for economy you still get treated so well. Never had a hangover on a plane, mainly because I can't sleep on planes for a long time so the hangover can't set in! Dehydration and cold air is never a good combination, though. I always end up getting a dry throat because of the constanct supply of AC on-board.

Have started watching You on Netflix. Heard it gets quite tasty in the middle episodes and a little fucked up?

Cheers. We've booked for October so expect it to be quieter which I think we all prefer considering we'll have my baby niece with us! Will check out Alcudia...

Anyone ever been to Mallorca? If so, any recommendations on villas or best places to stay? (No-one say Magaluf , it's a family holiday). Have been looking at Palma and nearby areas as well as East of the island near Manacor and Pollensa.

Yep, his deal til 2024 now

True. He seems to get away with it more than losing and above all else, the win is all that matters. Maybe he gets bored winning so easily sometimes so makes it a bit more risky and interesting for himself

Following this old man's crash, police have found the cause of the accident

I suppose the denouement of it all at the end wasn't too bad, but I think I was expecting more scary moments (I know I said I didn't like that there were many to begin with!) at the end. It seemed a bit tame and mellow but it was very dark which I did like.

Makes it look ridiculously easy though! During the middle overs I thought Australia wrestled back well and kept the bowling tight. Fielding sometimes let them down with a couple of run-out chances and dropped catches but in a tense tight game like that, there's not many other players you'd want at the crease than Dhoni. Well supported by Kedar Jadhav too.

Pretty much how I felt. It doesn't do the gimmicky scary stuff often either and the timing of any kind of scary stuff is well planned. Theo is hot . Older version obviously The only thing I didn't like is that there's a lot of flashbacks to the younger days and I don't like younger Hugh's character (later found out he played Elliott in ET!). I've seen it to the end so won't spoil it and let you make your own assertions but for me, I wasn't much a fan of how it ended. The lead up to it is obviously in fitting with how good the earlier episodes are though.

Yep! @nudge @Tommy @Rucksackfranzose @Viva la FCB @SchalkeUK @Relling @BartraPique1932

Australia is on hold at the moment as may not get leave off work for so long The plus side being we've got a family holiday booked for October to go to Majorca

Yup, certainly called it. I wouldn't put it all down to Bolt potentially signing or not as they just have a weak squad as it is. They went OTT for the 'marquee' signing when they could have potentially paid for other transfers to bolster the squad.

Central Coast win their first game of the season

Just seen on Twitter someone call Corbyn the 'Morata of politics' for failing to capitalise on all the chances he's had up to today to try and beat May

That's an absolutely huge defeat.

Kane's gonna come back early and score the standard hat-trick against us in a few weeks time.
