Labuschagne has now replaced Joe Root as No.1 in the Test rankings. I suppose congratulaions are in order. If only we could unearth a No.3 like him.

Poor South Africa, another one they lost out on :D

Idiot. We're f*cked. Get rid asap.

The rumoured four changes for Melbourne would suggest they've fvcked up.

He's basically saying 'I'd fvck it up again me'.

Isn't that the definition of madness? Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome?

Or Pope coming down the pitch to Lyon, surviving on review, and then.....coming down the pitch to Lyon.

He probably is the best batsmen in the world but he’s played 2 tests in 10 months!!

Kinell. What’s the point of him then?

Even Rory Burns has scored more runs than him this year….

Errrrrrr........................

Can I get back to you on that?

art malice 22-12-2021 08:59 PM

I wonder if they’ve analysed data on how much each individual player would be affected if Silverwood admitted selections were wrong

Sorry, I know it's bad form to quote yourself, but I have slept on this and I am still no closer to an answer.

The nearest I can get is to compare him to last year's mince pies....

I am hearing Burns is dropped for Melbourne test… I think they need to drop the other 10 too

We have seen Burns and the word dropped in the same sentence far too often in this Ashes series

Rumours are pointing towards Crawley.

Lol

Butterfingers is not far behind when it comes to droppings

RazorsEdge 24-12-2021 09:45 AM

Root has given a speech apparently there is nothing to loose.

Bairstow in for Pope, Wood in for Woakes and toss between Leach or Broad. I would have thought that would be a no brainier/

But Bairstow has had a bad test run recently so not sure about that/

Part of me wants us to fight and win or draw this test but apathy is creeping in
