  1. Yorkshire Blue

    England ODI side

    Predicting the England test team has become all a little too easy these days, but the ODI line-up is more interesting. Not sure when the line-up for the ODIs is due to be named, but I'm going to stick my neck out and predict the following: 1. Cook* 2. Kieswetter + 3. Trott 4. Bell 5. Morgan 6...

    Lance Armstrong

    Floyd Landis..... Tyler Hamilton..... even reportedly George Hincapie according to CBS. The list of former team-mates now lining up to speak out about PEDal power seems to be growing. Armstrong's denials appear to be not that of innocence, but only that he's never failed a test. The UCI can't...

    West Indies v Pakistan

    Really interesting series this as they should be two evenly matched (ie flawed) sides, but both are teams who look as if they finally may be ready to start making some progress now the WIndies have dropped that waster Gayle and Pakistan have purged most of the match-fixers. I think Pakistan may...

    Show me the league after twelve matches................. I'll show you the Champions?

    Always heard that you have to wait about a dozen matches to give you an idea of how teams are likely to perform. Thought that I'd put it to the test by researching which teams were in the top seven, roughly following each quarter of the last season LEAGUE TWO After 12 games: CHESTERFIELD...

    Memory Lane A nod to last year's unfortunately relegated superstars...

    They were too good to go down and merely relegated because the nasty chairman wouldn't pay them, so with the season go, let's look at each player and how they've done since obviously going off to better things as they were so good... 1. Steve Mildenhall - Millwall, appearances 0, enjoying...

    The 1953 Floods

    I hope the following is of some interest, on a Saturday afternoon in 1953 Southend United played a poor game of football, the crowd had a good old moan and then went home totally unaware of the disaster that would hit locally in a few hours time. Saturday 31st January 1953 Southend United 1-0...

    Eng V SL

    Was really looking forward to this summer's series against Sri Lanka but Sri Lanka have pretty much named a second string bowling attack. Murali has of course retired (as did Vaas a year or two back), but Malinga is being kept back for limited overs cricket, as is Angelo Mathews and there is no...

  8. Ireland out of next WC

    What a completely ludicrous decision. I can understand trying to speed up the cup... but to skip past Ireland so that 11th choice (on ICC rankings) Zimbabwe get in just seems completely bonkers. How are non-Test countries ever supposed to break through? The Irish were a breath of fresh air in...

    Goodbye Piggy Eyes

    Ricky Ponting has given up the captaincy of the convict cricket test & odi teams and will be succeeded by Michael Clarke. He remains as a player having been picked for the forthcoming tour for 3 odi's in Bangladesh. That in itself is a bit of a surprise as normally when an Aussie gives up or is...

    Haye vs Klitschko

    So with the contracts finally signed, finally we'll get a chance to see what David Haye is made of. Personally I've thought for a while, Haye is overrated at Heavyweight. This will be an immense test for him. Thoughts?

  12. Pre-Match Thread Morecambe vs Southend

    Thought I'd start this off as no-one else had. With Hall out, Ferdinand facing a fitness test and Banton unlikely to sign in time, starting 11 anyone? Can see Sawyer on the right, but don't fancy either Easton or Grant on the left if Ferdinand is fit enough, unless we go with a 4-5-1, with...

    FC - Match 8

    Gatley v ShrimperZone CC Defeat will mean relegation, lost the vital toss (bowling conditions today, batting Thursday) and his monster is wreaking havoc already. A big test of our newly strengthened batting line up. End of Over 7 (Maiden). ShrimperZone CC: 15-1, runrate=2.14 Overs left...

    Top Gear: Alan Partridge Speaks Out

    Good column here from Steve Coogan. "As a huge fan of Top Gear. I normally regard the presenters' brand of irreverence as a part of the rough and tumble that goes with having a sense of humour. I've been on the show three times and had a go at their celebrity-lap challenge, and I would love to...

    Does Cyberbullying exist on SZ?

    Cyberbullying has been defined as- "the use of cell phones, instant messaging, e-mail, chat rooms or social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to harass, threaten or intimidate someone." The question is does it exist on SZ and if so what can be done about it? IMO it certainly...

    Plane Crazy!

    After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that...

    Swanny - SPOTY?

    Got on him at 18/1 last Tuesday, has since come in to 10/1. A nice 5 wicket haul in the first innings of the next test could seal the deal. All the rest of the nominees have done there bit for the year, so out of site out of mind could play a huge part in this, so hopefully Swanny can do the...

    The Labour Party Leadership Contest

    Contain your excitement, as this afternoon we'll know which one of the Moribund brothers will be Leader of HM Oposition. You can rule out Abbott, Balls and Burnham, and if the latest odds from the bookies I've seen today then it's Ed that will be the winner.

    The Sideshow is over

    Ryan Sidebottom has retired from international cricket. Never again will we see his flowing locks in a Test or ODI. Not one of the greats, but a fine player on his day and he always looked angry. CHeers Sideshow.
