  1. Coming back to me - Marcus Trescothick 8/10 really enjoyed this, gives a good insight into how he suffered at the hands of depression when he broke down on tour with england in India. Now reading Yes Man by Danny Wallace

  4. 5 more: 1: I was only at Primary School for 6 years, this was due to my age when I moved to England, and i was put forward a year. When I moved back up to Scotland I was kept in the same year, so missed a year. 2: I hate my school life, mainly due to most of the people there, and I can't wait for September and the start of University. 3: I see myself as a fairly well tempered and well mannered person, but when I step inside a football ground it all seems to go out the window. 4: I'm 16, have never smoked and never taken any illegal substances, and I never intend to. 5: I hate beer, and am usually wrecked after just 6 bacardi breezers
  5. Just Kaiser Chiefs coming up for me (27th February) Hopefully I'll add more onto that soon
  6. 1: I have never lived in Dumfries, and don't ever intend to. 2: I'm an arrogant, smug, lazy bast*rd 3: I would much rather play cricket than football 4: I am totally inept and an eternal pessimist when it comes to woman 5: My physical appearence is often compares to Alan Carr, this may or may not cause number 4

  10. good bowling from england in the afternoon session. although off to a shaky start in reply with Strauss going early.
  11. As i said, the 5 day game will always be there. It survived the introduction of one day games, it will survive twenty20. The ICC will realise the cricket would never be the same without test matches, and so will protect it.
  12. Test cricket will never die. If you ask any cricket fan they will agree that test cricket is the true form of the game. Twenty20 will be a flash in the pan i think, interest will die down soon enough.
  13. Other way round, it was the end of day 1, so all the players were fed up, and sidebottom had a go at panesar when the ball went for 4, even though 1) Panesar was never getting it 2) Sidebottom isn't exactly the best fielder in the world himself. I thought he just looked really out of place in that side.
  14. Right, i was at Edgebaston for the full duration of the test. During it, England played some fantastic cricket, and some downright awful cricket. I'll go through the team and how i rated them: Cook: Played well 1st innings, second innings not so good, but everyone has an off day. Strauss: looked good, got out stupidly in the first innings (stepped on stumps), second again made no good score. Vaughan: looked out of touch with the bat. Great catch to wrap up SA's second innings though. KP: poor 1st innings, batted well second, but so predictable he would go for the big shot to get to his ton, the ball wasn't there to be hit. Bell: batted well 1st, stupid shot to get out 2nd. Collingwood: still looked out of nick on 100, although looked to be getting his technique back a bit. Flintoff: 1st innings batted well, 2nd didn't. Fantastic with the ball, especially when against Kallis. Looked shattered by the end. Ambrose: ok with the bat, thought him and colly were excellent at the end of day 3, took real discipline. Kept well as well, he could do nothing about all the leg byes. Sidebottom: drop him, looked really unfit. Anderson: bowled well in patches, not so well in others. Took an amazing catch. Panesar: really not convinced by him, really looks out of place in that team, noticed he seemed to be at odds with quite a few players. Sadly, the best spinner england have. On a side note, Kallis should be fined for his reaction to something said in the crowd after he was out in the second innings, he should not be telling someone in the crowd to "f**k off".
