@sjpatel212 I think the fact he played 7 less league games than a PL season at Spurs and less minutes than his time at Spurs will help. But I agree it’s a worry if we lose him, hopefully the Mexico game we can get a nice comfortable 3-0 lead and bring him off… if only.
@AliJones9 The fact he hasn’t picked Trent absolutely baffles me. Best crosser of a ball in England and the criticism he gets for his defensive work is somewhat harsh imo, he can’t be that bad to have won every major honour and we knew James wouldn’t last the tournament
@_H74_9 Possibly but how many of those players have been one of the first names on the team sheet? Possibly one Tom Fellows? The rest are just players who have been decent first team players in a mediocre side. If we want to change our position we need to change the way we operate.
@Tgarratt10 Took the wrong CM off, rice was so slow moving the ball, taking 3-4 touches when he needed one.
Saka and Rashford have to start games from now on too.
@AdamClery Trent or Lewis Hall for me. Those two not being in the original squad was baffling in itself but being overlooked after an additional injury is shameful.
@richardjacobs1@spencermorgan93 I personally thought Baz and Key should go… but Stokes having a few beers after a win is not a huge issue. A curfew after the game has finished is ridiculous, they are adults. Brook who was last to get into a punch up (hence curfews) is not a viable C, so no ideal replacement.
@mikeparry8@benstokes38@ECB_cricket Talks a man who has never played professional sport, it’s a few beers after a test match win. They don’t play again for 10 days. Would you not go for a beer after work with colleagues if you had 10 days off?
@richardjacobs1@spencermorgan93 Worst ashes performance of all time? We lost 5-0 in 13/14, 4-0 in 17/18 and 4-0 in 21/22. We won a test this winter in Oz for the first time in 15 years. It’s not something to throw a party for but claiming this winter was the worst ashes of all time is just nonsense.
@AndyfromNewHamp The greatest ever to do it imo Andy, wonderful bowler and even better character. The sort of bloke who made you fall in love with the game of cricket, sad he is no longer with us.
@RiskForRewards I think this is an underrated ride from Paul, MN and Maj went out too quick and he just dropped IET in behind, then unleashed before the last. Proper horse too👌🏻
