The UK is the fourth largest economy in the world and one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. When you bear this in mind, it would seem astonishing that the UK is not actually an independent country. "But...

gary236 Why don't you ask the British people what they think then if you are so exuding the democratic values of the EU? And as usual from the Left, anyone more right wing than Menzies Campbell has a hatred of foreigners. And you are right about UK subsidising...

Finally, justice has been done! Reason has won the day in Islamabad and Shahid Afridi has been dropped from the one day team for a world class spinner in Danish Kaneria. Afridi showed no regard for the team and constantly gave his...

India's batsmen have the reputation of being the finest in the world with their penchant for tall scores and ability to play mesmorising shots. However, the reality is they so often flattered to deceive once away from the familiar...

gary236 Exactly- look at Greg Chappell - he had 7 ducks in a row I think! Sourav also performed well in Karachi and importantly has shown a desire to tough it out on difficult wickets, something a youngster or 2 (Raina et al) could learn!

Since Derek Underwood, England have yearned for a world class spin bowler who can run through batting line ups. Many have come and gone, Tufnell was probably the best of the lot but was never a consistent quality performer. 25,30...

gary236 If Fletcher wants a defensive spinner, Monty is the man. His economy is superior to Giles. If he wants an attacking spinner, Monty is the man as he has shown in his 10 test career. He is the best bowler England have produced since Darren Gough! If Fletcher...

gary236 Actually, the low trajectory and full length of Anderson suits this surface. I'd have dropped Giles for Panesar and Harmison for Mahmood who gets bounce but is quicker and has a better command of full length bowling, which is essential in Adelaide and Sydney.

gary236 This is a terrific post which I'm very grateful for. First of all, I don't buy this notion that UK should be with either USA or Europe. Leaving EU does not mean there will be no co-operation with Europe. And I am in favour of the relationship with USA...

gary236 UK was lied to in the 1975 referendum - it is a political and not an economic union! As one UKIP politician said - if we wanted a large market for our goods we could sign a free trade deal with India!

gary236 Is that why Tendulkar has been scoring for 15 years and Ponting has only piled on the runs since pitches around the world became flatter and most of the world class bowlers retired? Did it not matter then? Does it not matter when Tendulkar scores 14 100s...
