"Joe Root will miss England's Twenty20 matches against West Indies after breaking his right thumb in Wednesday's one-day international win in Antigua.

The Yorkshireman was struck by the third ball of his innings, but went on to make 107 as England won by 25 runs and claimed the three-match series 2-1.

Root, 23, will fly back to England on Thursday for a scan on the injury."


The BBC website missed the real reason he's coming home. So there will be one less ticket for sale, or should that be one fewer?

Woodhouse AND Root on the pitch then
 
When it is sold out there is no finer place to watch football than BDTBL, the Prince and his mate Jim Phipps think they know what they have let themselves in for but they have yet to experience a FA cup quarter final at the lane. If they are there they will be blown away make no mistake, the place will be rocking I can't wait for Sunday.

Sometimes, we pick up grammatical errors and words that we know to be incorrect from others,
I am in the process of choosing new glasses / spectacles. A mate infuriated me when he asked. " When will your glasser be ready?" Now I have started using the word!

Can't bloody wait me. Possibly the best story left in the cup relegated to the worst slot but the lane will be rocking with the only two true underdogs left in the competition. Two traditional clubs, starved of "success" where getting this far is a feat in itself, shamelessly ignored by the media. I hope it's the best of the games on. . . And that we win

Are they doing the draw before all the ties have been played? That's stupid if so. Draw it at FT of the last game surely?

Agreed, but the FA and TV companies don't like a good story, they like to see all Premier League ties and even then they only really want the Premiership big boys!

I've got all of the Premier league package here in Japan, but rarely watch the games. They're on late, but im normally sat up watching TV on a Sunday night anyway so its not the time thats the problem. Used to be the same in Switzerland, I had the games but rarely watched it. The Premier league, despite the hype is quite dull and predictable. Nothing compared to Spanish Football, but predictable all the same.

Admittedly the quality of the football at our level is normally terrible, although we've done our best recently to change that.

The problem that i have is that the TV companies, the FA and the Premier league don't really give an opportunity for people to watch anything but the Premiership teams.

Hidden away on Setanta is a game between two well supported teams with arguably a bigger armchair following of their own fans and it could be an entertaining game.

The FA cup throughout my life has always been about the giant killing, the excitement of an underdog winning or coming close. Normally this finishes in the 4th round, but here we are, playing Charlton and one of the two lowest ranked sides in the cup will be in the Semi's.

You'd have thought that this was Roy of the Rovers stuff for the TV and they could make much more of a story of this than a Premiership predictable game.

Personally I think its great that both Charlton and Blades fans are flocking to this one in big numbers. And I make no apologies when I say that Charlton will love to see a full ground on three sides in front of them. There is nothing more exciting than arriving at an away ground, coming up the steps and seeing a packed ground and the noise it generates in front of you. As an away fan you just feel the passion, knowing that your own sides fans have made an effort to get to the game at a daft kick off time, your own fans sold out in such a short time, it makes it all worth while

For the 30,000 fans of both sides at the game and the ones watching on TV around the globe, they'll know. Its the rest that miss out.

I told my japanese mate down in Darwin about the game, the attendance and he's going to watch it to appreciate a proper FA Cup Quarter Final!

Not sure fella, It’ll be a very grainy picture on the iPad through BT sport (that’s if I can get it at all), tried to watch previous games this way and it was like rubbing your balls with a cheese grater whilst drizzling them in lemon juice!
Main sports channels here are J-Sport which show Premier League, Bundes Liga etc. I get those sports channels in the apartment but the FA cup games are only on FOX Japan or Fuji Sports, which nobody seems to have.
It might have to be sitting at home with a few cans, listening to Blades Player commentary and checking the shoutbox, which is always at least 2-3 mins ahead
So in conclusion… not sure, probably at home J

According to Radio Pig yesterday, it's at 4 O'Clock, but they have been known to be wrong...
