    Group E - Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine

    Romania were always a ticklish prospect back in the day (especially for England; our win in that friendly that served as a warm up for Euro 20(21) was out first over them since the 1970 WC), but they rather dropped off a cliff recently. Are they back?! Ukraine are almost painfully mediocre...

    "B" for me. Albania look the weakest team and even they topped the qualifying group Poland were in.

    Road to Euro 2024

    Not an awful lot of value amongst the field, is there? Maybe Italy or the Dutch? Wouldn't touch England or Portugal at those prices. Jerry's odds look stingy too, but they are at home.

    Think Morocco in 98 was a worse result than it looks in retrospect too. Although I think Mags's Norwayanese rendered the result moot by beating Brazil anyway.

    Well, that's your standard MO in tournaments, so, yeah. Does rather boggle the mind you've never once qualified from a group stage when (without checking) I would guess you've made it to more WCs and Euros than Norn Iron and yer Leekists combined.

    Oh dear, what a pity, never mind. :ph34r: Seriously though, the boy looked like he'd totally swallowed it walking up to the spot, didn't he? I think we (as spectators) sometimes set too much store by body language, but he really, really didn't look like he fancied the job at all.

    Worst bowler to average lower than 30? (qualification: 50 Test wickets)

    I'd also have Headley over Siraj in a heartbeat; was a genuinely very good bowler whose career was ruined by injuries. Shabbir too, with the standard * for being a filthy chucker.

    Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2024

    Speaking as one of the cutters, I can't see Nath Lyon playing any T20Is unless a serial killer starts targeting Aussie LO twirlers and those are the only fixtures they have in Q2.

    Road to Euro 2024

    See Georgia have knocked out Greece on pens to qualify. After checking, they're ranked 77th by FIFA; can't be too many lower rated nations to have ever made a Euros. And (again after consulting Mr Google) they've managed it by only beating two other countries, Cyprus and Luxembourg, whose...

    Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2024

    Yeah, more or less the same from me. I check how many games a nation is due to have in the quarter (Oman with 3 ODIs and 14 T20is were a great option for instance, as were Pakistan with 13 T20is and a possibility of up to 5 more if they finish ahead of Ireland, Canada and the US, as seems...

    Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2024

    Ha, yeah it's like finding an Englishman called "Smith Brown" or "Brown Smith". God, actually a "brownsmith" sounds like an artisan skilled in the manipulation of dung. Lovingly hand tooled excreta since 1758. 💩
