Im from NI but as our Cricket team are not able to play test matches I support England. My question is how do you guys think England will do in th up coming series against SA? I thought they would really struggle until the Ashes preformance which granted wasnt great and the ausies were crap but then I saw there ICC ODI performance against them and things were looking up.

As ever they could go over and play a blinder and win the series or they could go over and get beat 5-0 lol. I think broad bowling and strauss batting will be key. Also Swan will play a vital role as SA dont have a great spin bowler as far as i can see.

Even though Australia were able to beat SA in SA, i don't see England being able to. Their batsmen are much better than England's. The pace bowling seems even or maybe slightly in SA's favour. The only area where England seem superior is spin bowling. Paul Harris just looks rubbish.

It all depends on how our bowlers do, they where a bit hit and miss in the ashes. Brilliant in the 2 tests we won, and awful in the others. Personally I think it will be a tough ask, if we can get out of the series with a draw that would be an achievement, but I personally see a defeat being most likely. A win would require our batting order to pick up its consistency a bit.

Yeah its been the batting that has let us down in the summer. I dont like pointing the finger too much but Ravi seemed to really lose it for someone who has come across with so much confidence. That was one of his best features in my opinion. I think Broad when playing in england is better than stains but I know this will not be the view of most. I just think his height plays a big part. I see a draw being a very good result as well.

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
