Zampa has barely threatened an you gift him a wicket, Buttler is not thinking clearly right now

He doesn't even need to turn to the umpire and go: 'Hold my Oakley's and watch this bra.' He keeps them on. That's how cool he is!

I doubt one single tournament would see them discarding players. perhaps the contracts should have been sorted after but I really don't think it makes any difference, despite Willey having a cry. I'm not sure how many of these players awarded contracts you would not want to be available to play for England in any format for the net 3 years

Well, Ben Stokes for one. Can't see his knee lasting another three years. Ali and Malan are 36, Woakes 34 and Wood 33, the others over 30.

So you are sacking Ben Stokes as test captain next year?

Mo Ali and Malan have one year contracts and Mark Wood is bowling faster than ever

Next three years.

 

[Walken]

Next three years.

You are complaining about the contracts, Ali and Malan have one year ones and you don't want Ben stokes to have a contract at all.

I was replying to your post mentioning three years ; shall we leave it and concentrate on biting our fingernails ?

Not realy know, I've asked which players you dont want to see signed up for 3 years who are, and you named 3 players who aren't signed up for 3 years, so how can there be an issue with those contracts? One of whom is the best test captain I've ever watched.

Later, when Stokes scores a brilliant hundred.

Maybe not, Stokes out for 64, 169-5, need 118 off 14.3 overs.

Livingstone has been very poor, out for 2, another depressing defeat seems very likely.

He's a bit unlucky with that shot, thats probably the game.

Yep, well timed. Still got Ali, hope springs eternal.

 

[summerisle]

That's me done. lol

 

[JimmyJeffers]

A lot is hindsight but we packed the squad with filler players. Roy or someone else should have probably opened with Bairstow with Malan at 3. Our openers are what made us successful.
This looks like the end of a lot of careers for the 1 dayers.

Has Head bowled all his overs yet? Get him on against Willey. Hearing the commentator say something like 'Wliiey's getting Head', or some such variation of those words will at least make this shtshow worth it.
