Yes, Derek would be another one of my considerations.

Knotty, another one of my favourites.

Never saw Sobers play, nor Trueman nor Hall. I obviously get why Boycott and Trueman would be in there and indeed my favourite cricket "tale" involves Freddie in India My dad would have had Dennis Compton as his opening choice.... also a huge Trueman fan. So many greats, and Compton was a...

Why don’t they bust a gut to win in 90. Pointless way to lose if you ask me. Nothing worse.

Teams are scared of losing finals, play-off games.

not many would have Derek Randell in an all time 11 but a great flamboyant batsman and what a fielder ... Would loved to have included Botham, but Hadlee was just so consistently great, Viv would be a better three than Gower, but Gower in full flow was pure artistry... Lillie I could happily replac...

I just hope the game is settled in 90 minutes. I detest penalty shoot-outs.

Lets have your lifetime world 11 folks, not necessarily greatest just the 11 that have bought the most pleasure ... should be interesting. (try to pick a proper team with openers/middle order/alrounders/keeper/bowlers etc) Barry Richards - Hants/SA Gordon Greenidge - Hants/WI David Gower - Leics/EN...

Another high scoring draw for Hants .... going to be long season for us I think. Our strength is our attack but, with the Rosebowl as flat as apancake atm and the kookaburra balls, that's been nullified.. Hoping for a good season from Tom Prest and the other Hampshire youth Hants started on fire la...

Sam never scored a goal from a set-piece in our first-team.

Corner = on
general play = off
free-kick = on
back in play = off
corner = on
back in play = you get the drift.

Unsure, we'd get away with that.

A good reason to switch-off the TV when they are droning way in their annoying mancs/scouse accent.

But that would be on Farke anyway? He's flogged the arse off certain players by choice, Georgie included. He has the option to rotate, cup matches, earlier subs etc. Gray is an 18 year old Farke has had him play over 4000 minutes in all competitions, thats unheard of for a 17/18 year old he must be...

Still unsure why the music thread needs curating Just attempting to impact threads that get lost in the dungeon. With certain topics out of sight, out of mind occurs.

Can also do European and World Footie.

I can't stand cricket so not that and I don't really get involved with the music threads so neither of them for I.

Thanks Cjay, you are a diamond
