@Robbie9Fowler Man, I have to say, I was heartbroken when you left back in the day. This idea that you and Owen couldn’t play together was ridiculous. It was always a massive pleasure watching you play.
@CricketopiaCom As a South African my enduring memory of Jack Russell is him and Atherton batting and batting and batting… broke my heart but increased my love of cricket.
@VicVijayakumar I don’t think that is an outrageous amount tbh. Maybe how they allocated the money may be unusual but the total isn’t unreasonable considering it’s three kids.
@VicVijayakumar@Mlondon83 There is a strong correlation with declining birth rates and the age at which people leave the parental home. Across many developed countries housing is expensive, people stay home longer, move out later, have kids later and end up running out of time.
@LBC@TomSwarbrick1 Has anyone ever thought of only applying the inheritance tax on sale. If you hold it for nostalgia, no tax applied. The same for farms/property that is not rented out but used as a family home. No inheritance tax until disposed of. Like unrealised gains.
@LeeHooper1 Over the past few years I have started watching much more women’s cricket. No miss hit 6’s, technique still matters and the bowlers have the ability to impact the game beyond being a bowling machine.
@cricstatzai I am probably age biased but the late 90s and 00s were the best times for cricket. Good competition, all time great cricketers and the variety of pitches and games with all the test nations playing each other.
@cricstatzai It will be good to see. He captained a very humble and hard working NZ team and got great results. Let’s see if he can get that work and winning attitude back into the English camp.
@rocshot@cricketireland@etplofficial I agree 100%. I watch the ECN T10 stuff too and have seen how they are struggling and rebuilding their product.
I wish the ICC would do more for European cricket but most of the support and money seems to only be directed to the large cricketing countries.
@rocshot@cricketireland@etplofficial It might be an unpopular opinion but I think the Indian tv and bookmaker money is needed to run these competitions. Players from the clubs need to travel, take time off of work, pay for accommodation and the administration isn’t cheap either with cameras, commentary etc.
@OversLife Amazing Cricketer, Graeme Pollock. Brother to Peter Pollock another excellent player and uncle to Shaun Pollock. A fantastic cricketing family with Graeme potentially being the best of the lot.
@bethanyshondark There is too much anger in this thread. @bethanyshondark, it’s great that your kids are proud of themselves but I would caution against making being homeschooled their identity. Not a criticism, just that there is much more to a person than how they are being educated.
