European Athletics Championships
(Preview)
Halfway through the championships and Team GB have 4 medals....Silver from Greg Rutherford, aged 19(i think) in the long jump and 3 gusty bronzes today from Rhys Williams in the 400m hurdles....Becky Lynne in the 800m and a nerve racking effort from Marlon Devonish in the 200m. So well done so...

3rd Test: England vs Pakistan
(Preview)
Geraint Jones has been dropped for Chris Read. I like jones, but his keeping is suspect (although it has improved) and he's supposedly in the team for his batting but at the moment i think that Read is better in BOTH departments so im glad to see this change happen!!!!
