I was at a Blast game last season, Durham v Lancashire, and a bunch of Lanky supporters started singing, ''I'd rather be a **** than a Geordie.'' Nobody really batted an eye lid.
Most offensive part of that is that it doesn't even almost fit the ****ing tune.

Thanks for reply Gob. CA has come up with some bewildering selections...least of which is the reinstatment of Mitch Marsh without showing any domestic red ball improvement.
Maxwell recalled , certainly not on merit...but rather because he bowls some useful off spin. Four specialist spinners is a little odd. Three should have sufficed.

CA is forgetting that it was pace not spin that won us our last Indian series in 2004. Four spinners is overkill imo . Three of which are finger spinner the variety Indians love dining on. At least Swepson with his variety will provide a challenge but even the great Shane Warne was mauled in asian conditions.

It's unlucky but Chris Lynn is becoming just as bad with his injury record as Shaun Marsh and some of the young fast bowlers.

Correct. And the only way we win is picking high ceiling, high volatility guys and hoping for the best.

Reckon Stanlake should come closer in to the stumps so he doesn't have to rely as much on getting sideways movement.

Not sold on his action tbh. Think the leap annoys me, but if he gets it right he'll be awesome wit that bounce.

He's bowling from the wrong end into the breeze.

He's also bowling a rubbish line and length. With his height he just needs to be up.

Did think that Cummins maybe should have taken the new ball, he can swing it a bit. But he does have an awful tendency of half volleys when it's newer.

Solid comeback from the big man. That last ball ended up being rubbish but the thinking behind bowling the yorker was spot on.
