    One thing which has struck me and could also be worth having a try with is to have a tournament at somewhere like Lingfield or Newbury,Sandown,Doncaster etc.

    But this could be a lady jockeys event named after Ouija Board or another top quality race mare.

    A UK and Ireland team could have the following
    Hayley Turner,Kirsty Milczarek,Adele Rothery,Cathy Gannon,Amy Kathleen Parsons,Stacy Renwick,Kim Tinkler

    And a Rest of the World team with Julie Krone,Mary Doser and many other lady riders (Ok i only know 2)

    Im sure this could be worth having a go with and plus i think MDeering could help me with this one is that Australia do have a female caller who could call a few races aswell.

    Probably a bad idea in some peoples eyes but with the girls on track it might be worth having a try.

    I like it Neil, all those woman great idea all you need is Big Mac there to do the interviews.

    Good luck to KP

    i wonder if Vaughan would of stepped down if England had lost the series but he made some useful runs or if he had not hit any runs but England had drawn/won the series.

    The combination of no runs and losing the series plus fielding at Lords for three consecutive days when England should of won that 1st test then the Pattinson thing it’s been a bit hellish time for Vaughan.

    Wish I’d stuck with AOB. Every time I stay with them they lose and when I desert them they win!

    Thanks for the advice Corm if you back AOB in the future I’ll look elsewhere cheers :D

    Hello Adrian

    I’m not keen on the handicaps but good luck with your selections.

    Have had a couple anti-post bets for Leeds outright league one 7/2, Zamorston talked me into it on the county cricket thread of all places and Shrewsbury outright league two 12/1, hoping their new signings can fire them to glory they have been backed from 25’s i believe.

    I don’t think there’s a huge difference between the two sides England could well of won at Lords and were in good positions in this match but overall were not quite good enough, South Africa deserved to win and batted more professionally imo in the three games so far. Smith was monstrous today a brilliant fourth innings knock, stepped up to the plate when needed. could anyone lip read Kallis when he got out?

    lol….fair play to him he handled it very well though.

    what does Nicole see in Rex :x
    .. I think I feel sorry for her :lol:

    i think I’d feel sorry for anyone associated with Rex.

    what does Nicole see in Rex?

    possibly the supposed sums of money in his bank account he keeps on boasting about or and this is very unlikely he’s good in the bedroom (with a bag over his head of course.) im going for the money :D

    Did anyone pick up what Collingwood said to Boucher whilst having a terrible time at the crease?
    He stammered something like ‘well, i expect you’ve seen worse players.’
    silence….
    Collingwood ‘ i said i expect you’ve seen worse players’
    Boucher ‘ i heard you the first time i was just trying to think.’

    i knew i should of wrote Vaughan :lol:

    Yes fair play to Collingwood dug in well after a shaky start and has helped put England in a good position for the match, should make for a good day tomorrow.

    i dont know what’s worse stacking plastic pints to make towers or mexican waves.

    First task is to watch the 80’s classic hit series the A-TEAM and see just how they managed to get Mr T ‘ i aint getting on no plane ‘ well on the plane and do the same to Marcus Trescothick.

    Second task find a wicket keeper who can bat……………..impossible, so what do you do simply chuck the gloves to Pieterson and force him to stand behind the stumps.

    Third and final task is to retire Flintoff to stud producing lot’s of little Flintoffs ensuring Englands future for years to come.

    My Team.

    Trescothick(c)
    Pieterson(wk)
    Flintoff Jr
    Flintoff Jr
    Flintoff Jr
    Flintoff Jr

    Simon Jones to add extra pace and keep Andrew Hughes in the good books.

    Broad certainly is not injured, on the Notts website it says he is in the team to face Durham starting today in the county championship. i also read he was suffering from fatigue but on looking up the word in my dictionary it reads 1.mental or physical exhaustion ( :shock: tired is as far as I’ll stretch it.) 2.the weakening of material under stress.( :? dont know what that means.)

    umm….he’s exhausted but playing for Notts in my book that amounts to being dropped.
