    Fabulous test match
    I’m not at all critical of Stokes captaincy although he’ll get some flak.
    It’s the way we play now and there will be bumps in the road.
    Test cricket has become exciting again and we need that to preserve it.
    We were so close to winning and then he’d have been the here for his brave decisions.

    Also we were dreadful for a long long time which is easy to forget.
    Now with our new approach we were bossing this match for much of it and this is against Australia.

    This is very different to my first few years of watching test cricket.
    I recall seeing Chris Tavare and Tim Curtis opening for us and being 12 for 0 after the first hour

    My hero’s at 9 were Bobby Davison, Bryan Robson and Glenn Hoddle.
    My sons hero’s are YouTubers.

    Crikey, you are going back a while there, you must have been in short trousers then.

    I am.
    It makes feel very old when I Google their ages now. Bobby is 63.
    What a player. Found a clip where he scored a great goal.
    My first season ticket was the season before where we got promoted from Division 3.
    The very next season we went straight through the league and into Division 1. We’d beaten Leeds 2-0 the week before to clinch promotion. Beating Plymouth on the final day won us the league.
    1-0 down at half time. Davison scored a 25 yarder right in front of me at the Normanton End and then we went on to win 4-2
    I remember it like yesterday.

    "... Arthur Cox signed a 5 year contract worth £200,000."


    £40,000 per year. Those were the days. A few years later along came the Premier League & everything changed.

    Just bought into the main late. First one for a long time as it's way above my bankroll these days. Found a good spot. It didn't run out well....

    Ha, incred scenes.

    Bet your heart dropped when you saw the A - Q & 3h - 4h. That's so good it's always going to end badly. Love the old runner runner though.

    I felt pretty good on the flop :)

    All this time i've been ridiculing @TheWaddy and yet he was right all along....

    It's possible i haven't exercised best practice when it comes to bankroll management tonight. Started with £48 and entered main, mini and 9&9.
    Currently i have just 29p residing in my account. I better do some wins :)

    I may just have done something rather ambitious in the 9&9.
    Down to 545 chips
    Better just win the mini then or i’m poker broke again :)

    The bad news is i bust the mini KQ V KT (did i do it right, Ryan? @waller02 ) ;)

    The good news is that i played a 28p turbo dym and won it.

    Shoddy game.
    Gonna have a long think and maybe quit the game for life. Or maybe i'll deposit.
    50/50

    Just seen there's a £20 unlimited rebuy at DTD tomorrow night. I haven't played live in ages and i'm off work this Saturday. Very tempting

    Giveaways simply not allowed.... simple as.... cant help what i see, do you see cheap giveaway attempts like this lose? Or if you do, is it very rare?

    Personally im not ever involved in hands like these, where i think wow hes just handed his chips over for free. 40/80 blinds and trys to hand over nearly half a 10k stack.

    Dont ask me the criteria, im just saying i dont see it happening and afterall i did challenge EssexPhil to put a giveaway attempt up in hi lo which succeeded, and he couldnt come up with one......

    Cant help what i see.

    An ok night back at the tables
    Played and won a couple of £5 dyms. In both games players tried to give me their chips and, although it may surprise some, they succeeded.
    I’ve played a couple of mtts. I had regged a few more but couldn’t be bothered in the end.

    5th in £2 rebuy for £26 and currently plodding along just into the money in a £5bh


    Might watch some golf when i get this over with

    Please refrain
    I think you have plenty of your own threads for that dross

    Final table 9&9. Just give him quads rather than teasing me :)



    £2 down on night isn't dramatic. Just a ballache when you get in with a chance

    This came up somewhere earlier
    I remember it well. One of my first games

    Standard stuff
    Great goal from the genius, Bobby Davison after a good header back into the area by one of my favourite players names ever, Mick Brolly.
    Fans encroaching slightly and kicking one of their players as he went down the line. Obv solution to that was a drop ball.
    A few tasty challenges
    Proper football :)

    1 tabling right now. Reduces losses.
    Last few sessions would make thewaddys eyes water
    Shoddy game (unless i win the £3rebuy and then it’s a great game)

    Had to pretend to work today whilst i watched the test on my phone
    Another great days play
    Be quite nice if we could catch the ball every so often.
    Loved watching Wood bowl.
