Elsewhere in the sporting news I see that Tom Brady, the man they call the GOAT of American football has agreed to a contract extension to carry on playing until he is 44...!! His rate will be increased from a mere $15m or £12.34m to a cool £23m or £18.92m a year, making it around a £480k a week in wages.
I have no problem with these ultra high wages, the New England Patriots can obviously afford it, but to be still playing NFL at his age, regardless of the money he is getting, is just remarkable... <applause><applause>

What a man! All he's achieved and to still keep going at the very top level one of the all time greats in any sport

Were all DOOMED...!!! It was always going to be a hard takes but 3 down before lunch makes survival of the remaining 7 wickets until close of play very unlikely...
 
The fat lady is singing, the car has been started and the guillotine has taken it's final swing... Start the rain dance, get Michael Fish to say there is no need to panic on the incoming weather front, or Obi-Wan Kenobi, your our only hope to try and save our Test match now...!! <laugh> <laugh> <laugh>
 
Well that looks like it with Root gone.

Who replaces Moeen Ali at Lords? Rashid is injured again so Leach looks the only viable alternative? Maybe a throw of the dice with Dom Bess?
 
All set up now for Moeen Ali to silence the doubters with a double century to win the match <laugh>

Stranger things have happened Oddy. Australian quick Jason Gillespie was sent in as a nightwatchman in his final test. He shared a 320 run partnership for the fourth wicket with Michael Hussey. He ended with a world record score for a nightwatchman, 201 not out.
 
I wonder how the fees and wages of Rooney sit in the laughable compass that is FFP. Derby must have someone full time studying all the loopholes of this ridiculous and loaded system.

Don't forget Derby sold the ground to their owners to get around FFP (my beloved Owls followed suit this summer :emoticon-0116-evilg).
