Re: Cricket: England vs New Zealand Test Series
I think it's just one of those things that get stuck in peoples heads(mine included) I can't think of any county that hasn't produced an England player in the last 10 years(bar Derbyshire cos there just poo;)).Surrey pay the highest wages and will snaffle up as much talent as they can and so it seems that a lot of players come from there. If your good enough you will come through.Though with the Kolpaks coming into the game lots of counties won't risk the youngsters thus giving us a lopsided england qualification list. The last test gave us Strauss-Middlesex Vaughan-Yorkshire Cook-Essex Pietersen-Hampshire Collingwood-Durham Bell and Ambrose-Warwickshire Broad and Sidebottom-Nottingham Panesar-Northants Anderson-Lancs So there's a good spread of counties there. Though in the last few years unfashionable counties like Durham-Harmison,Collingwood and Onions Glamorgan-Jones Leicestershire-Nixon,Broad Gloucestershire-Lewis Have had players into the side but on many occasion injuries(to these players) and regular players(previous test players returning from injury) have come back. These are just recent players,the likes of Trescothick and others prove you can get in and stay in with unfashionable counties.I agree with the fashionable counties thing. Been saying this for years. And if the selectors do pick a player form the likes of Worcester or Gloucestershire etc they don't seem to give them much of a chance or persist with them Just seem to pluck players out of Surrey etc. this is generalisation of course but this seems to have been the case for a long time -
Re: Darts: Premier League Outright
Well thats finally free'd up some cash:nana I love you bookies when you haven't got a clue about the game:okTaylor to win 10pts 5/1 SkyBet. Now is the time to take what is a cracking price.With still 9 weeks to go and a few tourny's in between the remaining games then this will give Taylor a chance to boost his confidence again and by the time this goes to the semi he should have at least got 4th place.He can then excel in the longer format that he likes,no matter who he plays. -
Re: Cricket: England vs New Zealand Test Series Also with regard to the slow scoring,Old Traffords wicket was relayed a few years back and it's never produced decent bounce,it's all over the shop.One ball can just take off whilst another would stay low and with the wind that was involved the swing would have only come at a particular time of the day.We had a warm weather and a drying wicket up until the test match arrived which distorted it yet again. Again not playing against most of the bowlers from New Zealand they would still have that element of doubt on how or what the ball was going to do on that wicket and were perfectly intitled to try and take their time,but the conditions changed throughout the day meaning when you had got in the ball then started to do different things and you had to re-play yourself back in.

Re: Cricket: England vs New Zealand Test Series Also Vaughan is a funny old customer,as he never seemed to tinker with his bowling when we needed a wicket and never has any confidence in anything other than his front line bowlers.Many a year we haven't got anybody out and he's just persisted with the same old order,when it was crying out for Bell to bowl his little dobbers and Collingwood to have a bowl,but no Vaughan knew best and we were smacked round the pitch. Bopara should have had his chance in a home Test series to gain a bit of confidence and New Zealand at home was the perfect start,but wether Vaughan would have bowled him is a different matter.

Re: Cricket: England vs New Zealand Test Series To wholely jump on our last performance in Sri Lanka and draw conclusions from that is not even giving any cricketer a chance.We've never done well out there 2003/04 was the last tour and the only remaining player from that is Vaughan.England have never got used to the conditions out their and never will it's an evil place to go if you've never played on their wickets and dealt with the humidity and crumbling pitches.

Almost exactly the same stats. Though to give Bopara his debut out there was not a very wise thing to do as it was not gonna give him any confidence in the world on those wickets.

Re: Blonde/Punters Lounge Poker Trillion Forum Challenge
I think you lost something in the translation,there not having a go at you it's just we had a portuguese invasion into our private freeroll a few months back which led to it being cancelled,so there just being careful. But it's your choice who you want to play for but by picking Blonde you'll be picking the losing side and missing out on a good freeroll afterwards.:okTy very much gAf for sending me the password' date= i actually wanted to play this one for PL because in the past i made an indiscretion, but apparently some people does not feel comfortable playing with me. However, i must say i frequently come to this forum, read the poker tourneys section, strategy, etc, but my english is not the best, so I cant post as much as i would like... So, ty very much for including me in your team but i guess ill play this one for blondepoker!! But, ty very much:ok mayemita:cow -
Re: Blonde/Punters Lounge Poker Trillion Forum Challenge Poker Trillion come out as Everleaf Gaming Limited and before you all laugh yes I did win some cash on there,their pathetic at Pot Limit Omaha(when you can get a table)

Re: Devilfish Freeroll
Does my Avatar remind you of him:$ Sorry fella:$,there was no way on earth I had you on AJ.I may just have beat the sitouts then, but then again... Held the nuts on the turn, K high straight, no possibility of flush draws, made a raise, someone went all in for about 2/5 my stack, then another all in after making it a call of about 3/5 my stack. Made the call, I had K high straight, and facing a T high straight and a set of 7s. River paired the board, another K, and the trip 7s made a full house :( Same person then hammered the final nail in shortly after when he slowplayed his set and suckered me into betting my top 2 pair. Ah well, always tomorrow Good luck those left in -
Re: Devilfish Freeroll ooooo 20 minutes in and its eliminated all the sit outs:ok
-
Re: Devilfish Freeroll I've got to admit I do like the software on this site,nice free flowing game,seperate chat box and action box(which also tells you who's been knocked out) also the percentage of the pot raises that it gives you.

Re: **Poker Friday 23rd May** 61 in the end so no value added but maybe a nice field for a few players.:ok Though it might have had a little bit of value if it wasn't posted on here,I guess we'll never know;)

Re: **Poker Friday 23rd May**
B2B Poker it seems.Not sure on entrants cos it's my first look at the site but gauge what happens in 30 mins cos theres another one scheduled for 7.40pm which is the same. Still only 10 in the 6.30pm one and limited to 500 players but it doesn't seem to be filling fast.Which network is it? Is that added value maybe a network game that will just have a lot of late entrants (as happens on some networks) - can you see any similar value games that are running or completed? -
Re: **Poker Friday 23rd May** There looks like a lot of value on DevilFish at the moment there's a €20 Freeze out tourny in 30 mins with only 6 players and Guaranteed at €1000:eek

Re: **Poker Friday 23rd May**
Nice one LimpLimp and :welcometo PL. I noticed another of our members is registered to play in this,just a shame they didn't point this one out earlier,seeing as when there's a Live Seat or an added Value tournament they're the first to request the password:sadI am new to this forum.Just to let you know that there is a 666 freeroll at Devilfish to promote his new site. -

Re: mcrogaming help please
Yeah but an Irishman trying to understand an Eastern European could lead to unimaginable things,In fact after a conversation on there you'd probably end up working as a Gigolo to dirty old ladies;) Though I can see where he's coming from,you don't want to ask support as you may feel like your cheating by setting up multiple accounts.:unsure I.E some of us at least feel guilty from time to time:ok:lol:lol Didnt mean to sound sarcy!! I find that by e-mailing support you get the answers easier.... :ok -
Re: mcrogaming help please Though having a look further down the Thread's there's a post on Pokertime to which AvonGirl points out that if you have a Royal Vegas account it seems you can't have a Pokertime account.
