@oilysailor @samuelJayC That’s 6/100. Probably less than the mean for a team never to be relegated.

@henrymoeranBBC No atmosphere, no energy from England. Members sleeping off their indulgences. Lord’s is certainly the (care) home of cricket.

@GeorgieHeath27 For goodness sake! The commentator made that comment on the basis of a female slow bowler who would of course have a shorter stride. Admittedly his choice of words could have been different but essentially until he realised she kicked the bails his observations were accurate.

@mattletiss7 How sad that a once great talent of our game should resort to these constant posts. The only way of keeping a media profile I guess, now that any related footy work has gone for ever.

@RaithRovers In the presence of some legendary heroes today. Fantastic event. Thanks to all who made it happen. And, as for this guy…….a privilege to be in the same photo as him

@RugbyInsideLine Good decision. Takes the full shot clock and therefore reduces the potential of a 100 point defeat.

@SomersetCCC All credit to the Glosters. Best team on Finals Day and how fantastic that ‘Syd’ Lawrence was able to witness it. We’ll just have to settle for CC and OneDay Cup.

@thetimes This has devastated me tonight. Along with his wife’s MS diagnosis it beggars belief what the family is facing. I’m a prostate cancer sufferer but, omg, this news has knocked me sideways.

@RugbyInsideLine The of the Aviva on St Patrick’s Day with the hosts going for a Grand Slam, experience needed. Can’t see the likes of JVP, Mitchell, Porter, Murley, even Smith game managing that. Put the sticking plasters on and go for Youngs, Ford, Farrell at 9,10,12. Been there, done it.

@SkySportsRugby A bit surprised at this. 1. His increasing media profile transition is going very well 2. Will Porter now established no.1, Lucas Friday needing gradual inclusion? 3. If DC’s role is player/ s/h coach then i think it’s a great move.

@ONNNpodcast Been a fan since 1963 despite never living outside SW Eng. Attended many games including the biggest (mid 90’s). Haven’t been as excited since the Jimmy Nichol era. Wow! And the new podcast adds to it! Keep it up guys. C’mon the Rovers.

@legsidelizzy OMG. As a lifelong Somerset fan this really hits me. It’s bigger than the game we love. of course I wanted us to win but putting it in perspective I’m pleased that Gloucestershire emerged as deserved champions. Well done the Glosters.

@JA_fc99 No Jay. It doesn’t mean we don’t like footy. Nor think we know more than ex-players. Surely you can see that some of these once great players are now burgling a living talking garbage, and so many people buy into it.

I feel the quotes are being lined up:.2-0 ‘3 games left we’re still in the series’ .3-0 ‘Ashes may have gone but still lots to play for’.4-0 ‘playing for pride which is huge in this squad’.5-0 ‘ we can still take many positives from the series’ #Ashes #Ashes2021 #AUSvENG.

I get the dilemma but really it’s a no brainer.Those who complete the race surely cant get that same sense of satisfaction & buzz that comes with the usual sense of achievement. To the contrary ‘I ran Bath 2020’ will not be anything to be proud of #bathhalf.

Karl Dickson often baffles Premiership coaches with his inconsistency and missing the obvious. To have him refereeing at this level suggests to me that there is a worrying lack of depth in top class whistle blowers #NZvIRE.

@Dude10Ryan Agree Ryan. To play 3 at the back you also need a GK who can play with the ball at his feet. For all his worldly shotstopping Big Kev is not that man.
