    England had to turn up first. They didn't. Desperately disappointing.

    Good race by Lewis.. He hung on to second place via a one stop strategy.. And is now a worthy world champion...
    Ferrari faded again

    Well they won't win the league but surely they aren't going to get relegated!

    This picture from the Test in South Africa shows all the spectators watching from the grassy banks around parts of the ground. It is a great way to watch a cricket match, far better than sitting in a plastic chair all day.

    I agree, I can remember in the old days you could sit on the grass behind the boundary rope.

    That was an excellent days play of proper test match standard. Calls to reduce tests to four days would have meant that the game would have been very different.

    Agreed..... Cricket has always worked well with five day tests... amd they have bastardized for public consumption/ media transmission most of the rest.....

    Whilst people will say the club have been rightly punished sad for fans like Hornets Fez to see Saracens kicked out of the league.

    What will happen to them now and the players?

    It is what it is. There are rules and Sarries have broken them. Nor have the club opened the books for further investigation. This is the sort of behaviour I can't abide from politicians and it would be hypocritical of me to find it acceptable from "my" rugby club. I'm angry with them, tbh. It cheapens the achievements.
    There is talk of stripping titles etc but I think that is unfair on the players. Relegation is punishment enough with the proviso of stringent invigilation / monitoring of future accounting.
