    Terrible sportsmanship

    Not good, can’t say I’m surprised . For example I played in a men’s club game once when I was 12. I batted 8 I think. I was in with our best bat and decided just to survive and let him get the runs. It was 1st vs 2nd in the league. We put on 60 odd and I only had 8 to my name off at least 40...

    Stokes Arrested

    The news makes very bad reading. The fact Hales is not only not involved in the court case, but apparently told Stokes to stop at one point, worries me. It’s clear who’s side the bouncer is on and that’s a worry. It’s also a worry that one of the people he attacked has worked in emergency...

    Ben Stokes - All the facts

    Not looking good. Did well in the first test with the ball. He still struggles in t20 in general. Still struggles in ODIs with the ball. But it’s besides the point. His track record is really bad now. Just scanning this list isn’t good reading and the court case so far isn’t looking good...

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    Ali certainly isn't the best available spinner in the form he's in. If you think he is then you've watched no cricket this series, nor read about it.

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

    Forced change, or they would have named an unchanged side. England seem to enjoy losing 5-0 in aus

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

    I don't mind it. At least it's something different. I actually think not enough slow balls are bowled in tests in general.

    Australian selectors how good are they

    Last 4 series for Aus in England : Played 4 lost 4 Last 4 series for Eng in Australia: Played 4 won 1 lost 3 Oh dear boyo. Looks like you're smaller than England when away from home!

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    I know. I said in the OP I'd have played Leach in test 1. But since England have taken Crane they need to play him as they have given themselves no other option (other than Malan as the spinner) and Moeen has embarrassingly bad series figures (in all senses). Moeen bowls off-break with hardly...

    Moeen going great again. 6-0-35-0. Fantastic stuff again by the front-line spinner. 3 wickets in 4* tests. Top stuff. No need for the front-line spinner Crane yet. Moeen is going too well for that.

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    Moeen's first class average is over 40 with the ball. I'm not under selling him at all. He isn't a front-line spinner in county cricket. You can't seriously think a player with a FC bowling average over 40 is a world beater? He's a batsman who bowls at county level. His test average will soon be...

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    Leach has done very well 2 seasons in a row in CC div 1 and not got a game yet..not even on square turners in the sub-continent when England picked 3 all-rounders that bowl spin instead of a front-line spinner (which was far more criminal than playing Ali in this series)..

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    He took 10 wickets @ 37.9 in 06/07 in 3 games going at 4+ an over though I just noticed Pietersen made 490 runs at 54.44 in that series. That's a lot of runs in a 5-0 loss. He took 1 wicket @ 16 too. It you combine that with Collingwood's 433@48.11 then it's a bit ridiculous England managed to...

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    He's an option at 4, not 3. He makes runs at county level at 4. It's a bit unfair to shoehorn him in a 3 in tests. He could play instead of Vince, considering Vince still only averages 23 in 10 tests. Obviously Hameed at 3 is an option too that is rarely mentioned and Root 4. I think it's fair...

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    Proven at FC level. Obvious you have to give them games to have a chance to prove themselves at test level..you can't use your logic forever

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    You can give a front-line spinner a go. Moeen wasn't going to bowl sides out in these conditions. Yes Malan has done well. Stoneman's problem is 40/50 and out or a cheap score. Hence his FC career average being poor and his test average currently being unacceptable. Vince is another that...

    Flat is generally a term used to mean good for batting....the Australian batsmen have looking like they were batting on a road at times..not a literally expression either..

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    They are flat. Australia just have a better and more balanced attack. England aren't as good at batting or bowling. England have been terrible, that's the point. The wickets are flat and they have still been losing 20 wickets a game. You are making an obvious point. England have been **** and...

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    Drop Cook for who? I'm going by the squad they have taken. They don't have another opener in the squad. If you are going to argue with me at least be sensible. And Cook has done enough over the years to deserve another game or two before getting dropped. I am dropping Ali and Broad for the 4th...

    Mistakes in selection on this tour by England

    Anderson is the most skilled England bowler. They are all trying their best on the field. Some of them are just out of their depth..bit harsh to say they don't care
