rhouses alistair I’d be surprised if the middle order fuck this up. Pope should deliver. Hameed has done just about enough to play the next game, Burns has to go. Bring in Jonny B, the ginger destroyer.
vinnyt77 rhouses Burns has to go. Bring in Jonny B, the ginger destroyer. Agreed. Saw this amazing/horrifying stat this morning. “The first day of the Ashes saw England reduced to 0/1 for the sixth time in 2021 - a record for any test cricket playing country in a calendar year. Every single one of them has been a Rory Burns duck.”

rhouses baggers44 He’s got some of that English middle order grit. But maybe I shouldn’t speak too soon. Dreams can be built on a Joe Root ton, wondering if I should put a cheeky $10 at 8-1 on England. Throwaway money.
baggers44 strummer problem is now that no one else has a confirmed place to secure the captaincy …..all of the others are either injury prone or not secure in the team. Butler I suppose might be an option but not one who many would be enthusiastic about. he is a very ploddy captain is Root.
vinnyt77 baggers44 not one who many would be enthusiastic about. Really? I thought he was a widely popular option to take over? At least you haven’t got to worry too much about tanking his test batting average if he’s captain…
rhouses Come on MC, it’s 5:40am over here , peace pipe in hand for a little waking and baking, let’s see if the ‘mental health’ break did Stokes any good.
Mad_Cyril rhouses admire your style brother, but I feel like shit so off to bed with a lemsip. Rock and fucking roll 💪 Maybe some other game it’s a plan? Hope these two go down fighting and make it a good watch 👍
