If he is a fully fledged member of the fast bowlers club he will barrel them down whatever the helmet.

Some more bio. Played on more than I realised.

Currently not mandatory and he hates em. Warner too but likely to be mandatory soon.

Ok. Cool. I’m obviously over sensitive/paranoid/barking …take your pick. My bad.

As for Headingley I expect England will win. Archer will have em hopping before they hit the pitch.

Back in the days o […]

A conundrum with this stuff is that the albums worthy of remastering are invariably excellent and much loved so people like the first iteration, the second, the third.

To expand if you said gee he is clearly not right, those tests for concussion need more work. A difficult thing , what would England do if say Stokes was hit and then passed all the tests with the game in the […]

Let’s be clear are you alleging that the Australian medical staff ok’d Smith to bat because they thought us winning was more important than what they assessed to be his health at the time and in accordance wit […]

This was your comment at the time.

The fuckwits were whoever sent a concussed man with a fractured arm out to face 95mph bouncers. ‘Win at all costs’ should have some limits, surely

I agree, he was not “ri […]

Yes poor grammatical construction. It was late.

They also said rhe Australian doctors are militant on this stuff and pushed hardest for new measures viz concussion while you said the Autralian getting him to go out again was a case of success at all costs

Ok so every player that gets hit on his helmet neck or shoulder goes off to hospital straight away for tests that may or may not identify concussion even if it appears later ? You’d want a lot of subs and the w […]

@Slug It is there in print. Very good but only in comparison to his colleagues who have been a bit average.

Good and very good are relative terms and you have dramatically downweighted the quality of his “very good”

Define head injury @Dai

What not good irrespective? 7 consecutive 50s. 2 tons and 92 after being felled ?
Unbefuckinglievable

Have you listened to thepodcast?

No reference to the response to that opinion I note. Also in the article. Have a listen to the podcast Mousey linked to.

Seriously @Locust , you’d prefer a song to be interrupted by some cutaway interview where a band member /audience member provides a hazy recollection, or one the usual suspects like Declan McManus or a journo l […]

Thanks Mousey. Geoff Lemon does some of the Guardian Over By Over stuff. Thought comments re Siddle were interesting ditto Smith re concussion and passing tests but onset being delayed.

Warning for non […]

Was that pitch also a factor? It seemed to vary quite a lot in pace? One thing to encounter pace another thing to not know how it comes off the pitch.
