    I think Specsavers also sponsors County Championship cricket which must be a gift for anyone doubting the umpires!

    The resounding win for the Aussies over their old enemies caused my smile... :)

    Andy Murray going great guns against Djokovic at the moment. One set up and leading 4-1 in the second...

    Murray confirms himself as the World Number One with a great win against Djokovic.

    Well done!

    Great win for him and well deserved.

    Why is it that tennis seems to attract people who like the sound of their own voices. Just as a player is about to serve some fool will shout out while everyone else is quiet?

    Yes - when you know Mercedes cannot give you another title next year by sabotaging your competitor's engine. He would have been humiliated. Take out the races this year when Hamilton's engine failed and he was miles ahead. Far better racer than Rosberg.

    Other than embarrassing.

    Well be even worse if we manage to lose the test which know us is possible!

    Is Nair one for the future maybe or was this just one of those once in a career innings on a decent pitch you'd dream about.

    After all didn't our number 9 make 50 or so..

    When was the last time England played a 5 Test series without a player from the team that were the County Champions at the time? Finn is in the squad but hasn't played.

    One of the main reasons Middlesex won a very tight contest. They were able to field their strongest team without international call ups. If you include one-day call ups Yorkshire were without Root, Ballance, Bairstow, Rashid, Plunkett and Willey on occasions.
