1:35 pm

have said test cricket is the premierform of the game. if have said test cricket is the premier form of the game. if female players are only playing test cricket so rarely, what message are you saying when the opportunity is so limited? the players would love to play more red ball cricket, they've set a time again. india having played against england at home in 19 years, so there is a desire, but is is the case of doing so. often it finishes in a drawer and the narrative goes forward, so it's been a subject that has rumbled on for years. the players are desperate to play more. fine on for years. the players are desperate to play more. one thing is for sure, desperate to play more. one thing is for sure. this — desperate to play more. one thing is for sure, this match _ desperate to play more. one thing is for sure, this match isn't _ desperate to play more. one thing is for sure, this match isn't heading - for sure, this match isn't heading for sure, this match isn't heading for a draw and it won't make the full four days. let's move on to football, and there's one game in the premier league this evening, where nottingham forest welcome tottenham to the city ground. there's still talk about the future of forest manager steve cooper, but he says speculation about his future at the club doesn't concern him.
1:38 pm
i don't need any reassurances. for me it estate true to yourself as i only focus on myjob, and the great relationship with the people i work with every single day, players and staff. and commit to what we believe is the way of working. i don't focus on anything other than what i'm in control of, which is working as hard everyday and doing my best and hopefully helping in providing a good service for the players to get ready for the next game. that is how it will always be with me. well, spurs cut a run of five games without a win last weekend when they convincingly swept aside newcastle 4—1. so their manager is wary of going against a team who need to cut a winless streak. it is fairto it is fair to say any team going to play nottingham forest, they know it is a difficult game, despite where they are. you can't afford to think
