Right result granted and a brilliant turnround from the Scabbingham test last week, but we all know if it was anybody else other than Our Joe you definately wudda slated em.Blockmod won't say he thinks Sir Geoffrey was wrong yet still has a dig at the likes of Bully&me for sayin the declaration came too late,what a plank he is.We all know you're Stubborn as well as Grumpy mi owd pal don't we? Will ya be at Old Trafford for the next test? UTCB
WOW thaz finally plucked up courage to say Sir Geoffrey was wrong,well done.The ECB must've made a packet chargin£20 and a quid for kids,that said i'm delighted England won,some outstandin performances,notably the git that did for Yorks last season and of course the new Freddie Flintoff.UTCB
Perfetly timed. Mid afternoon finish, good drink time for the lads and, as BD says, and I said earleir,ECB and Surrey happy with the extra revenue.
If there was rain forecast or they didn't have Amla and such a good record then he could have gone earlier but if there's one Blades judgement and ability I would trust it's young Mr Root's.
Sir Geoff was as cautious and STUBBORN a cricketer you could ever meet but, when sat on the sidelines, it's so much easier to make those calls because it can't come back and bite you on the bum.
Just listen to Shane Warne, he'd need 15 fielders and would change bowlers mid over if he could. Easy to be wise after the event.
Can't argue with the win no doubt helped with the hat trick which don't come along that often especially for spinners without that it would have been much harder and we had decent weather,waiting that long will cost him more than he wins in this country in the future,the win means Jennings will get a last chance next test pressures off
Big well done to em all
When sat on the sidelines it's much easier is it? Pity tha dunt use that theory when spoutin thi bile at King Kev TT isn't it? Anyway we won the test and we'll just have to agree to disagree abart the timin of the dcelaration but as i've said previously anyone else other than Our Joe and we all know who'd've been bellowin the loudest and it would be you whether ya wanna admit or not.Roll on Satdi.UTCB
Sat on the sidelines?
FFS , in case you've missed it all these years he's the F'in owner.
Captain of the ( decade of sinking) ship, appointer of all employed there, totally in charge of all that goes on. How is that the 'sideliene'?
I think you're confusing touchline with sideline.
The comparison I was making between those on the sidelines, Warne & Sir Geoff, was that they can have no influence on the goings on of the organisation, no responsibility, no authority.
Your Messiah is the guiding force, the man who sets the course, who steers the ship- and he's hit plenty of rocks and shalows whilst doing it.
All the authority, all the responsibility.His decisions, his culpability.
