@WG_RumblePants I think you are in a better place. Baz gone.Stokes gone (I really believe his attitude and ego have held England back). I do think Root as captain is wrong. He could help support the new captain but be allowed to focus on his batting. Not that my opinion is worth much if anything
@talkSPORT let's not forget why FFP & PSR came in. The 6 failed to get the Super League off the ground so now they control the EPL and basic6have what they wanted
@WG_RumblePants@bbctms I would challenge that by presenting both Australia & New Zealand domestic competitions.
You have a far bigger population but the quality isn't there.
@bbctms@WG_RumblePants
Is it time for the County game to change. To many teams dilute the talent? The test team will have a captain who's selection in the team is not guaranteed.
So what needs to happen in english cricket to fix this?
Or am I being a dumb Aussie
@WG_RumblePants Therein lies England's next biggest problem. Joe Root is the only player to get automatic selection for me. I would give Gus Atkinson a go. More reliable and surely his name is out down before thee batsmen
@Growbag@StickToCricket Our Aussie team and ACB were to woke and pathetic to accept him, I doubt the British players (because it's the ECB) & it's board couldn't handle him. I still wish he was Aussie coach
@RicFinlay Sadly ruined by the ignorant males who run the ECB who couldn't wait till after this momentous moment to announce Baz's termination. I'm a bloke, I'm not woke, but seriously this is everything wrong with the ECB.
Get Langer in. See if they have more hutzpah than the ACB
@talkSPORT He has remained loyal professional. He has not criticised anyone at the club and taken a lot of flack.
He is the public face whilst the owners stay hidden and silent.
@MitchellGlenn the TDF is going through our backyard today. Dordogne Region. Periguex is part of Route de Compostela to San Sebastian. Fantastic area for a hoke
@talkSPORT Just one sex offender helping another sex offender out.
Football is more corrupt than when Blatter was in charge. Did you really think things would change. There is no Governance and no authority that can control FIFA or EUFA
@therealmissjo Is it though, really sad???
Sad is the corruption in FIFA , EUFA and EPL.. or What's happening in Venezuela.
This is gamesmanship, supporters of other sports do this. It's why we are called "the 12th man".
@ESPNAusNZ I'd get Ange back, however I don't think he couldn't have done better with the squad we had. Our domestic level is a long way behind USA, Japan even Saudi. The A League quality is low
@StickToCricket Cricket doesn't need him. The media need him. Cricket doesn't need him. We will thump you 3-0 in England next year. Ben Stokes non presence will be a media subject NOT a cricket subject. NO player is bigger than the game. 🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘
@SeanPeterBudge He thought he saw a mars bar.
It's the same with batsman who get dismissed via mankad. They whinge complain and carry on. I have no time for it. Follow the rules. Simple as. A bowler has to stay behind the line. It's the rules!!!!
