Thanks very much for that outstanding advice Mr Troll.
I tried, and failed. I should have said just go ahead and post as much crap as you like.
Thread mirroring a bus service. Think I will go back to sleep for a couple of weeks.
Ginger, what does fitting in mean?
More and more people live in their own little worlds, and in some places it seems the ethnic minority has become the ethnic majority.
And then the membership vote for the right wing loon, as they did in voting for the right wing puppet, Truss.
It would actually make sense if they realised sending anything to the membership is a waste of time. The appeal of the candidate has to go far beyond them.
The biggest problem the Tories have is the lack of candidates, particularly after Hunt ruled himself out. A mixture of loons, and the overrated.
Save for a couple of poor performances by the overrated Mordaunt, they left the whole campaign to Sunak. Where were they? In contrast Starmer trotted out the likes of Rayner and Reeves to hold his hand.
I would be disappointed if the most exposed horse won this, and Heavens Gate looked as if she might be better over shorter. So likely one of less obvious one’s for me, but will wait on the declarations, and also try and guage how much rain they get.
In general the entries are not great for some of the condition races.
Just to clarify Gauff did get a very nasty shock as I predicted above, but unfortunately, from my point of view, with the wrong player.
It looks miles off in the end, but probably the closest I will ever get to landing a 375/1 winner.
Second T20 between South Africa and India washed out after the tourists again posted a decent score. It could have been better having been 66/1 after the powerplay the Indian spinners led by Deepti wrestled back control, but this time South Africa made the most of last two overs scoring 31 runs. Right now they are way ahead of New Zealand, and it will be interesting to see what they achieve at the World Cup. A shame for them that Ismail didn’t stick around for another year.
Unfortunately, for New Zealand the rain stayed away from Southampton, and they suffered yet another humiliating defeat. England played four spinners, but it wouldn’t have made much difference who they selected. Had their fielding been sharper the margin would have been even greater. New Zealnd are supposed to be the fourth best team, but in reality they are probably closer to eighth. In addition to the lack of quality, the benefit of Devine as captain is questionable to say the least. Today she put England in, and they nearly made 200. She doesn’t seem to be inspiring anything but fear.
To be fair a repeat of Tipping Point is more riveting than watching England play. The contrived excitement of Ben Shephard, you can’t beat that.
The second had that one good bit of form, but that was underwhelming for a 1/4 shot considering all the surrounding hype. I would be surprised if they persist at that trip.
As for See The Fire I am not sure what she achieved, if much at all. She was yanked back, and raced quite freely, before failing to really pick up in the straight. Maybe quicker ground would see her in a better light? Would the Nassau come too quickly?
Whoosh.
You can’t get things much more right than that. Doesn’t always work that horses run to their looks, but she did. She could be very good. Minor disappointment that I didn’t get the 17/2 which Bet 365 allowed it to drift to.
South Africa hit back to beat India in the opening T20 yesterday. India poor with the ball, and in the field enabling South Africa to rack up up a big score. It could have been very close to 200 had they not stuttered in the last two overs. All seemed to be going well for India until the opening partnership was broken. The rate slowed, and Mandhana threw her wicket away. Rodrigues made a very good fifty, but they never really looked as if they could pull the rate back. A very good first win for captain Wolvaardt.
Fearing the worst for today’s T20 opener.
