@WildlifeMag hi I’m a digital subscriber but can’t access the November edition. Tried calling, was asked to email; emailed, was asked to submit a request through my buysubscriptions acc; submitted and no reply in 10 days…can you help?

@dan_brigham Bob signalling the number of chances England have of saving the game..

@GeorgeDobell1 @ecdub53 @HomeOfCricket @Athersmike Am I to be haunted by the ghost of Fred Trueman? Oh right yes I see..

You might think that for £135 you’d at least be able to see the whole ground! First impression of new stands? Less than impressed..@HomeOfCricket @GeorgeDobell1 @Athersmike #elitepriceeliteview

@GeorgeDobell1 @ecdub53 @HomeOfCricket @Athersmike I’m watching live Test cricket and they’re even up with the over rate. Having a great day!

@GeorgeDobell1 @ecdub53 @HomeOfCricket @Athersmike On extremely close inspection the tickets do say restricted view. This wasn’t at all evident when buying and news to many sat around me. Caveat emptor obviously, but main points remain: £135 for a restricted view seat and why was a new stand built in such a fashion.

@GeorgeDobell1 @jonoblain @HomeOfCricket @Athersmike My sympathies George, still ought to be a fascinating day’s cricket. It’s a bowling morning and a batting afternoon I suspect..

[Nic Copeland 🌱 Ⓥ @EuroNic42]

@glurcher @HomeOfCricket @GeorgeDobell1 @Athersmike Now that would be a triumph for hope over experience!

[Nic Copeland 🌱 Ⓥ @EuroNic42]

For the sake of balance I should add that the £1 scorecards are now free!

England’s problem is not the ducks, it’s the twenties and thirties..#ENGvIND

[Nic Copeland 🌱 Ⓥ @EuroNic42]

Couldn’t they have taken the drinks break when the wicket fell? #overrate #ENGvNZ

So sad to hear about Martin Johnson. I happily bought @Independent for years as a teenager just to read his latest piece. Always brought a smile but more usually sustained giggles.

I’m really going to miss Sunny Bhai’s insight and player empathy.. #INDvENG

[Nic Copeland 🌱 Ⓥ @EuroNic42]

@the_topspin To be fair they have also previously pointed out that if England had bowled better, they would have done better

[Nic Copeland 🌱 Ⓥ @EuroNic42]

When you’ve spent a month trying to work out Fermat’s Last Theorum, and then someone asks you what’s two plus two. Brains frazzled. #INDvENG

[Nic Copeland 🌱 Ⓥ @EuroNic42]

The most amazing thing about this two day finish is that no one is talking about the pink ball #INDvsENG_2021

[Nic Copeland 🌱 Ⓥ @EuroNic42]

I wonder what the reaction would be, English or Indian, if two pitches producing an equivalent amount of seam movement were produced in consecutive tests in England. #INDvsENG

[Nic Copeland 🌱 Ⓥ @EuroNic42]

Apparently tv commentators don’t consider DRS to have had any effect on batting against spin. It’s a different game when you can’t use your pad Suni.. #INDvsENG_2021
