Sounds like he’s “fine” as in he was able to walk off the pitch but yeah maybe now it’s time to hang up the boots. Assume he’s wealthy enough to see out the rest of his life in relative comfort.

nick - just seen that… Hopefully he will be looked after well and will recover, but this time he should retire and rest…

Erickson collapsed again

It's all so mad, Meadow!

Sandy, both due to insolvency last season. The phoenix clubs were allowed back in but with points deductions.

Can those Aussie investors not invest in us? Maybe big vinnie J will put the Netflix money into us

Any idea why, Preston?

Sandy- several teams in that league have had deductions.

I see - that’s good for us is it, or don’t they play at PL any more?

Played 13, won 13 suggests none too shabby. They've had investment from an Australian RL club, I think.

Perhaps in the weird world of RL if you lose really badly you get negative points!

Their opposition today are bottom on -6 points. No idea what they've done to get a points deduction.

Blimey DD - I thought they were supposed to be not very good?

I see the Broncos narrowly defeated their opposition today, in a tense away match. 134- 0

RK - only been here since this afternoon and there doesn't seem to be too many I've found. But don't doubt there are plenty...

Is it full of russians escapting Putin's draft REPD

Problem for Lords is that all visiting teams want to play there.

I watched the cricket, but because I’m not really a big fan, I didn’t understand what the issue was with the pitch - can someone explain in easy to comprehend language please, thanks…

OI - pretty much, although there was a lot of overtaking at the start when every single car went past Verstappen….

Will the Monaco GP be the usual procession? I know it is a historic circuit but maybe it needs historic cars that can actaully race properly on it

Am alright thanks Mr Bob. Anxiously waiting for us to sign some random bloke from Solihull Moors. How are you? Would be a big move for the ECB to deny Lords a test in any series - can't really see it happening. This is a good summary - will be 2 years and £12 million to sort the pitch out [Link]

Barry Hayles is a Jamaican international.

Hash - how are you. In which case no further tests there? How embarrassing will that be for them?

SB there has been too much cricket at Lords and the pitch needs a complete renewal which will take 2 years and mean no cricket at Lords for 2 years which means MCC will lose lots of money which means it is unlikely to happen.

Disgraceful pitch served up a farce of a test match. Lords and the groundsman should receive a heavy fine for providing that for a test match
