[badgrill]

There will be plenty of pulling away and still bowling it I recon

yeah but their bumpers aint gonna hit the stumps, so ...

Root may not be the same with Tongue out of action.

 

[Nuggetz]

Hope aus win by an innings, wouldn't mind seeing Aus score more than 1000+ runs in one innings & make england field for 200+ overs

Dont worry, there's always head

Sometimes the selectors prefer to leave Tongue out if the conditions dont suit

Rain will play a part in this game

Or make 1000 and on the fifth afternoon when they offer the draw, declare and have a ping at them for half an hour

Nailed it again Pat

McCullum reckons he won't be having a beer with the aussies any time soon

Beer is for winners Baz

So what is the rumoured English squad?

They’re looking at moving Root up to 3 and bringing in Foakes?

I would be bloody stoked with that, gives us a great opportunity to get Root out cheaply when he inevitably comes in early

Out Tongue Pope Andreson
In Woakes Wood Ali

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Cummins is 110% correct.

England are just making the most of this spirit of the game bullshit to take the pressure off their crap game strategy that has them looking at a white wash on home soil.

This bazball crap has been shown to be exactly what it is. Garbage.

Who'd want to have a beer with these whinging campaigners anyway. They'd probably complain that cold beer was against the spirit of cricket or some shit

 

[Gough]

Is not having a beer at the end of the series against the spirit of the game?

 

[Iamspock]

Broad actually said You will regret doing this Pat Cummins

He is actually turning into Draco

I have always thought that Broad reminded me of Draco Malfoy (for all you Harry Potter fans).

 

[Jamurp]

im still puzzling over why foakes isnt playing

with pope being injured

you had the easy solution to move root to 3rd and have bairstowe concentrate on his batting. I trly think england probably win the first test if foakes was keeping,

bairstowes glovework was that terrible, and yet they continue to refuse to pick him

did foakes pork someones misses?

is it really just a matter of he doesnt like playing golf and drinking with the rest of the team?

I don't think Foakes fits into the 'Baseball' mould, which is ridiculous as he's probably the best gloveman going around and a more than capable bat who actually was playing a good steadying role around the faster scorers. Bairstow or Crawley should be out.

 

[danstar]

England should just take the axe to their squad, admit bazball is stupid and go back to a normal game style.

 

[philreich]

Next time the Poms are in Australia, and Stokes brushes away a fly, someone in the crowd should do a Yabba and yell out, "Leave our bloody flies alone ya b******."

The bazball version of their usual whinging is building a mountain of hypocrisy

 

[danstar]

and sack their coach right now

 

[Hamingja]

Any grass on the wicket and Tongue has to be a non starter
