I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

tim2 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I was indulging in some pre-match banter with an Aussie friend on Wednesday. After a back and forth on the subject of sandpaper, cheating and grown Aussie men blubbing like babies she said "Let the cricket do the talking tomorrow". I agreed. Yesterday I posted "The cricket has spoken" but oddly there has been radio silence from Brisbane since. Is everybody OK over there?

GeordieSaint Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 BBC World Cup team of the tournament: 1. Sharma (Ind) 2. Warner (Aus) 3. Kohli (Ind) 4. Williamson (NZ) 5. Al Hasan (Ban) 6. Stokes (Eng) 7. Carey (Aus) 8. Woakes (Eng) 9. Starc (Aus) 10. Archer (Eng) 11. Bumrah (Ind) Highlighted in bold are the choices that can be argued IMO. Definitely Root for Kohli and possibly the likes of Boult in place of Archer/Woakes?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
