Well, England doing things the Burnley way in making everybody sweat when it should have been easy after the start we had. After 11 overs they were 85 for 3 and struggled to get another 56 runs from 9 overs. After 11 overs we were 93 for 3 and struggled to get another 51 runs from 52 balls but.........

Livingston gone now trying to hit the cover off the ball. Why? We now need 36 from 41 balls ---are they really thinking about this? Bottom line is that we just need to win, run rate doesn't matter. Use your brains!

Ashingtonclaret46

Hales out now and at 82 for 2 with 65 balls to go we just need to score at one run per ball which should not be too difficult, however, after the Ireland game, who knows?

Ashingtonclaret46

Sri Lanka looked on target for a very big score after the Power Play.
When de Silva was out in the 9th over they were 72 for 2, however, we have dragged them back and they have only scored 64 in the next 10 overs.
Will England handle their spinners when we bat?

Thanks Paul Waine for making that very interesting article available for us to read. We are all shaped by our upbringing and, to achieve what he already has as a player, Vincent is obviously very hard driven and has a work ethic which he will expect others to follow to gain success. Good luck to him...

Reading just 1 win in their last 8 matches after quite a good start to the season. Paul Ince needs to concentrate on his team instead of whinging on about his opponents!

Ashingtonclaret46

Afghanistan middle order were very disappointing, particularly the skipper, Mohammad Nabi, who was out second ball at a point when they needed just to steady the ship after losing 3 wickets in the 14th over. They could have won this game but blew it big time.

Ashingtonclaret46

1. I have no idea why you would do this? 2. Try getting behind the team for the whole game instead of sneaking out early. 3. I hope you have learnt your lesson. They have been doing it for the seventy years that I have been going on the Turf. Did they affect the result? No! They paid their money to...

Perhaps there were problems between playing staff and the coaching staff that created a rift? I always felt that Sean Dyche was loyal to his players, but he also was/is fiercely loyal to his long-standing friends. If, say, one of those long-standing friends became at odds with the players, then I i...

Well he’s actually 6ft 6 but can’t jump

He would jump if Vincent kicked his arse!

Not for the first time, I read this and as I look at Clarets+ replay this morning I expected to see a horrendous refereeing performance littered with errors. Maybe it's because I knew the result, or listened with the sound off, or I just wasn't there, but I didn't see anything like this. I saw a go...

what does that say about Harringtons ability
…or his confidence now?

Nothing at all because I am fairly certain that he is carrying an injury and is being used on VAR duties.

A 10 ball last over with no balls, free hits, one of which resulted in Kohli being bowled but then running three byes because he was not out, a wide on what should have been the last ball -----wow! Pakistan snatched defeat from the jaws of victory! Kohli show his genius. I love Test cricket, however...

Ashingtonclaret46

Riveting watch and a wicket with the first ball of the last over which will probably be enough for Pakistan to win it, particularly if the keep Kohli off strike. Interesting last 5 balls to come!

Looking good for NZ in this one with Aussies 37 for 3 off 6.

And didn’t we sell Dave Thomas to QPR that season? We did in October 1972. He had scored 4 goals for us in Division 2 at the time and we had drawn at home to QPR in early September with Viv Busby scoring for them and Frank Casper equalising 3 minutes later. We lost 0-2 at QPR with goals coming from...

New Zealand have opened the Super 12 in a good fashion. Scored 200 for 3 in their 20 overs after getting off to a blistering start. Australia are now 7 for 1 off two overs with David Warner swinging at a delivery, bottom edge onto the pad and then bounced off the pad, back onto the bat which was abo...

Met them at the Magic Weekend earlier this year, an unforgettable experience without doubt. Such an inspiration and last night's programme was well done.

As a non-driver, these strikes are a b*gger. I missed gigs (usually a 15 minute train journey away) I had tickets for on 1st and 8th of this month (albeit c £15 gigs). I'm wanting to go to The Emirates (Arsenal) for the Rugby League WC semi on Saturday 12 November but not sure whether or not to inv...

The original article was dated 3 August 2022 so the club news is good news. Well done to all.

Sorry to hear this news, my thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.

Reading the diversity of comments about Stephen Martin seems to endorse the feeling amongst many that he is like Marmite ---you either llike him or you don't.

I’ve never done it but would gladly consider it. Is there an age limit. I think that you have to be between 17 and 65 if you want to start donating.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61425471 I like the description in the comments: 'Football a game for gentlemen played by hooligans - rugby a game for hooligans played by gentleman.' I also agree that a lot of the top professional players and some whole teams are a disgrace in the way they beh...

Horrible game to watch, horrible game to referee. Players acting like nursery school children, falling about all over the place, committing needless fouls and then questioning the decisions with outstretched arms.

Premier League at its best, football at its worst.

Wood is arguably the most important member of our side.

He probably keeps their spirits up off the field as well. A real character.

Ashingtonclaret46

Lots of credit to the Ashington lad who, within the space of 9 balls and with some decent catches ripped the heart out of the Aussies by dismissing Stoinis, David and Warner. Mark has had his injury problems over the last couple of years but he is a very genuine lad who always gives his all when cal...

Ashingtonclaret46

Have a breather? Not really sure that’s the case as it seems to be the general rule that the team without the ball is spending far more time and effort trying to close down and chase the ball. It’s been noticeable in all our games that spaces have opened up much more in the last 20 mins, much as we...

Comparing 2013/14, 2015/16 and this season at this stage. This season average 67% possession with 154 attempts, 59 on target and scored 19 goals. We have limited the opposition to 122 attempts with 47 on target and they have scored 11 goals. In 2015/16 we averaged 49% possession and had 143 attempts...

Just thought i would bump this thread up as I am intending to go to the Ashington vs Stocksbridge Park Steels FA Cup replay on Tuesday night 4th October KO 19.45 If any other Northumbrian based Clarets are free why not come along and let's have a meet up. I was at Stocksbridge on Saturday and Ashin...

Great result for Hampshire as well. THey will not have to travel up to Yorkshire next season, much easier and cheaper going to Birmingham.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind!

Ashingtonclaret46

How'd he get on? Steady job in a team that is so much more positive than the main team! He came off after around 81 minutes just to give the other lad a run out. Beyer came on as a sub for them for the last half hour and played well but picked up a silly booking when he took a free kick to get the ...

Ashingtonclaret46

A reminder that match 3 takes place tomorrow ---same time, same place.

Ashingtonclaret46

26 wickets in the day and 12 were lbw, including 3 in 4 balls by Snater in Lancs second innings ---my mate in CHelmsford reckons that Snater's dad was umpiring! He also reckons that the pitch inspectors need to have a look.

Ashingtonclaret46

VIlas was also out and it became 58-4, now and Croft and Bell have moved us along to 69-4.

Ashingtonclaret46

Aye, the ref had a shocker. Early doors he didn't even caution a Clitheroe player for a borderline red card challenge and then started dishing them out like confetti. Clitheroe were putting themselves about a bit but the volume of cards was a bit much. Then their lad got his second yellow which cou...

Ashingtonclaret46

Congrats to Clitheroe. They came through a very close game against my local team (Heaton Stannington) in the previous round replay away from home. It was a thriller which could very easily have gone the other way. There was a storm and torrential downpour for 15 minutes during the second half too. ...

Ashingtonclaret46

uric - 6 - I don’t think you can blame him for the goal. Otherwise fine even if he seemed surprisingly hesitant to come and sweep up at times. Roberts - 8 - tidy defensively and ranged forward to better effect than we’ve seen previously this season. Vitinho - 7 - steady away defensively. Some nice ...

Ashingtonclaret46

Watched on tv and thought he was half decent. Got in the way a fair bit so positioning needs working on. He also seemed to give up on booking players the longer the game went on, which is unusual and inconsistent. But he was decent. Don’t think he was excellent but he had a decent game. Rowls, you ...

Ashingtonclaret46

I can't believe that something that has been implemented for 5 years+ and shown no functional improvement whilst damaging the enjoyment of the game as a whole is something that all the authorities are still blindly plowing on with. If it continues to be an overall negative addition and shows no imp...

Would Colin Blant be there? Perhaps just after his time.

It would be before his time because he didn't sign on until 1964.

Ashingtonclaret46

WHo said that it was a waste of time playing just three days?
Lees dropped off the first ball and I'm not making any bets as to who may win this after the events of the previous three innings which have lasted a total of 129 overs! Who said Test Cricket isn't worth watching?

Ashingtonclaret46

Happy Birthday John.

Ashingtonclaret46

A throw back to my early seasons watching the Clarets. He certainly had bad luck with his injuries, however, he did well to remain in the game he loved for many years.
RIP Dave Smith.

Ashingtonclaret46

Well, at least we won't have to follow on, no matter how the game progresses.

Giants v City Reds 1.30 pm .This should be a cracking game. Salford playing really well and I fancy them to turn over the Giants.

That was a real disappointment, Huddersfield didn't turn up! Never mind, good result for Salford.
NRL game between the SHarks and the Cowboys was well worth watching!

Well played the Rhinos,against a very dirty Catalan.

Agree con, the Catalans were certainly testing the ref's patience during that match. Very hard fought game ---enjoyed it.

Think England bowl when play starts
Further pitch inspection at 3-10

As and when they get under way, England will be bowling, as you say DAVE.

We realy are getting back to 'old' Lancashire. 231 for 1 after 74 overs and 12 overs later we are 251 for 5 and Hill has all the wickets.

Edited some 4 balls later and it is 251-6 and Hill has all six!
