I hate to say it, but I will: it looks like SA are coming back at UK and may even overtake them by close of play today. That shows how unsound the early declaration by Cook was.
Rubbish. SA may be playing well, England badly or the pitch doing nothing (or any permutation of those) but a declaration at 600+ is in no way early
It's a matter of psychology. If Cook had declared at teatime - just 20± minutes ahead - England would have been refreshed, bowled better as the days heat was beginning to wane, and probably got a couple of early wickets.
England have dropped too many catches. That is the problem. As is the lack of a decent spinner. If we could find one of those we'd be on the way to having a very good team.
In an ideal world we would also have a rip snorting fast bowler and / or a left armer. But their aint many of the former about these days.
In Tests, Moeen Ali has a better strike rate than Graeme Swann (56.9 v 60.1), and we consider Swann our finest spinner in the last 40 years.
You are wrong my dear old thing - Moeen's test strike rate is 61.18.
Following on from last nights discussion of accents and dialect, this is an interesting article on Indian Idioms. I have had many letters asking me to "do the needful".
English is an evolving languge, and an increasingly international one.
I hate the use of "kindly" when what is meant is "please".
And the other one that's creeping into business communication, on a customer/supplier basis, is "please may you...". No. I can or I can't. This is, I know, a hyper-correction from people who've had it drilled into them at school to ask "may I go to the toilet?" but still.
Surely it should be "will you", can means able to.
I'm in a service industry - if I can, I will. And if I can't, I'll tell you what I can do.
If the Labour party was an old fashioned arcade game at this point the game over screen would be showing and Corbyn would have to put some more quarters in.

The starting point on the radical left on foreign policy has always been a scepticism about the splendours of the Western alliance and a willingness to give a sympathetic hearing to Third World people with a grievance - it goes right back to people like Nehru and Nkrumah and the elusive and ultimately unsuccessful search for a credible global third way. It doesn't mean they necessarily agree with them, and Corbyn has said repeatedly that he disagrees with Hamas and Hezbollah. (In some cases it extended to sympathy for Soviet communism, which isn't one of the things that Corbyn has ever nourished.)
You've consistently seen this as entirely beyond the pale and it seems to be the touchstone for you, much more than say the anti-austerity policies. I don't (and I see the Western alliance historically as necessary in e.g. Korea but not a consistent force for good), and see your preoccupation with this aspect as a bit obsessive, though I do see that it produces a history with contacts that are awkward if you suddenly become party leader. Perhaps that, more than naivete, is the area where we differ?
If you can produce a few Corbyn speeches that focus on the disagreements he has with terrorist sympathisers it would be helpful. I'd also like to see his repudiations of Stop the War's rhetoric around ISIS being like the International Brigades, as well as its calls for Iraqis to kill British soldiers. Ditto for Ken, John and Dianne, and the other members of the hard left Jezza has chosen to surround himself with since he became leader. In calling you naïve, Nick, I hope you understand I am giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Entirely unjustified sanctimony, given that other party's leaders are and have been heavily involved with repressive regimes and exporters of terror, and have given de facto material assistance to terrorists in the Middle East. Jezza's terrorists are just not 'our' terrorists. It's more of a novelty than a disgrace.
1. Corbyn became aligned with his terrorist acquaintances out of choice, not perceived necessity. 2. Where Britain has been involved with dodgy regimes and/or individuals, it's usually been to advance the British interest. Corbyn's involvement has consistently been to undermine the British interest or values.
If you can't see the difference then it's because you're not looking but believe me: the general public can.
Ross Hawkins Emily Thornberry and Sadiq Khan head towards Corbyn's office
That is one of the most unlikely threesomes in history.
And why would Khan be involved? Unless he is about to get sacked as Mayoral candidate...
Surely Khan (and Watson) can't be sacked - he was elected candidate by the membership. Is JC running out of people to give a ministry to the point that he's going to have Khan shadow a department, at the same time as running for MoL?
A quote from the late Denis Healey in 1959 that is particularly relevant today. https://t.co/jtsl1dLJIJ
Indeed. The only issue I have with it is that I don't think the Corbynites are morally righteous. Morally and intellectually dishonest would be more accurate.
The effect is the same. Those who look to their party for an effective voice in Parliament are abandoned. It is disgraceful self-absorption.

Must be space for Thornberry (Islington) and Osamor (Edmonton).
Policy to focus on railways (London Tube prices) and Housing (London rent prices) and appeasing all those terrorists in the middle east ( that's NE London Walthamstow and SE London Lewisham in their video enterprises out in Syria).
I vaguely recall that half the Labour Party's entire membership was based in London under Ed.

Mr. Patrick, Croesus was King of Lydia, who made war on the Persian Empire, and lost (though Cyrus, the Great King of the Persians, kept him as an adviser and the two reportedly became good friends).
It's difficult to be sure just how rich people were, particularly when they lived over two thousand years ago, so there's a substantial margin of error. What we can be sure of is that Crassus was loaded.

I have no favourites. I'm simply perplexed by the notion that knowing them isn't that useful, but when I went to school we were tested every Friday morning, and almost the entire class would get 100% right. It was seen as a basic piece of knowledge that you had to have.

It sounds also like one of those questions that your brain immediately screams a certain answer, which is obviously wrong when you think about it, but too late you have blurted it out.
16 weeks. I'm expecting the least notice possible once David Cameron is ready.
One reason why David Cameron may well want to go early is that the Leave camps are squabbling for precedence and this is likely to continue for some time. Going later will give them more time to sort themselves out.
On the other hand, giving them more time would give them more time to squabble and split, although to be fair they've made excellent use of the time available so far to do just that.
If the referendum is Cameron v Farage, with Cameron preaching economic stability/security of remaining in the EU vs Farage banging on about immigration, there will be only one outcome.

@PickardJE: Latest intell is that today's shadow cabinet meeting has been "cancelled" not just postponed.
Well there is little point in having a meeting when there is no functioning Shadow Cabinet in any meaningful sense. There is no collective responsibility, there is no leadership. The Shadow Cabinet has ceased to be. It is an ex-Shadow Cabinet.

Too little too late now though. They might as well shake hands and go to the pub. I'm not bitter at all at losing a pile on this match. Not at all.
Did you back England too - £20 done for me.
Backed England and laid the draw - £60* each at the end of day 1. :-( Didn't pay enough attention, by the time I realised the draw was inevitable it was 1/10 and shortening, and I was out of cash. Hey ho, tomorrow is another day, back to work to earn £120 the hard way!

Numbers and their relationships are indeed things of wonder and beauty. I got introduced to number theory proper at uni and was instantly hooked. Even now I will, when feeling pissed off at the insanities of the world, get down the well thumbed books spend an afternoon with the elegance of Gauss, Euler, Hardy, Ramanujan and the rest of the gang.
However, it is not really a useful subject for teaching at school level. That is to say there are more important topics in mathematics that every adult with a claim to being reasonably well educated need to know (basic statistics and probability theory for one). Having said that, in my brief teaching career if I had a double period I could not resist having a virtual break half way through in which I would slip in some little bit of interest from number theory.
Farage is a bit of curious fish, won't go to the police over a suspected assassination attempt nor over postal voting fraud, but he will go to police about Have I Got News For You

Well lets hope that Cameron talks about the financial stability of the EU and the Leavers can talk about Greece and unaudited accounts.

@elliotttimes: Latest speculation for shadow defence Nia Griffith: would be first unilateralist in that post for around 30 years.
And someone with absolutely no background in defence matters. She might have been credible as a shadow schools minister - but she has nothing to offer on defence.
On topic, obviously they'd be best with someone with broader appeal than Farage. The hitch is that they also need an experienced politician who can work under pressure and obfuscate while making it sound like plain talking. Farage can be a bit hit-and-miss but he's talented and generally effective.
Their best hope is an ambitious second-tier Tory, and they'll probably get one, but the problem is that because the said ambitious Tory will have got elected on a platform supporting Cameron's "renegotiation", they'll have to wait until the outcome of that has been finalized before they can declare themselves shocked and disappointed and announce that they'll be supporting Out. Cameron can keep this going pretty close to the referendum, which makes it a bit late to make the switch, especially if Farage is unwilling to be bumped.
Not really. They can make it clear - as an increasing number of Tory MPs are doing - that Cameron has asked for no where near enough in his renegotiation and so even if he got everything he asked for he would still not have secured a satisfactory renegotiation.

It's completely definitional who the richest person ever was. How do you compare across millenia, never mind centuries? Proportion of global GDP? Equivalent ounces of gold?
