    What happened to the yorker? Is it my imagination or has it disappeared from the England test side?

    They are adept at ramping it now, but surely worth a shot at the tailenders?
    However, Stokes bowled a full ball at Siraj, targeting the stumps, but he hit him back over his head for four. No. 11s can do more than just hold a bat these days - that’s down to T20; they have to learn to hit the ball. They might be needed to face a few balls at the end if an innings.

    I hesitate to put this here, but Hulk Hogan's dead. Sport? Sort of.

    Well, there is no comedy thread so sport is next best.
    And if he thought he was a sportsman, at 6’7” and 300+ pounds, you wouldn’t argue.

    Any news on Kid Rock? In case the Grim Reaper is making his way through Trump's entertainment.

    Smith does resemble Van de Ven in appearance, especially with his cap on.

    In sadder cricket news...
    The Inquest into Graham Thorpes death concluded today - and found serious shortcomings in his care leading up to his suicide. He had suffered with severe depression for years, had tried to commit suicide once previously and was asking his wife to help him 'end it' - but despite that, he hadn't been seen by his psychiatrist or the healthcare team for several months. No-one will know for certain whether he could have been saved had he been seen in that time, but it surely seems likely.

    This also highlights the affects of depression on individuals - even those who, on the surface, appear to be OK. I knew Graham a bit as he started his career at Surrey as I finished my (insignificant) association with the county, but friends who knew him well never saw this coming.
    So very sad!

    A memorable cricketer who was never ordinary. Sad to hear this news.
