I've seen the video.

Not excusing Duckett, but think it's poor form for people to do that and then post it on social media IMO.

Yeah and having some drunken dip-shit making light of your form would be obnoxious as all f*ck. Standard English behaviour.

 

[Dazzler9]

Called it a fortnight ago.

The tour will implode from here.

Who gives a shit really? Apart from some extra "wind-up the Poms" entertainment.

Drink long and deep Mr Duckett!

Imagine if Carribbean locals filmed our boys on tour there in the 90s

Back in the day Doug Walters used to get legless regularly after a days play.

Nostalgia was better in the old days eh Seadog?

Who's going to make all their runs now?

 

[THE A5]

Jacob Betthel set to play. At least they will have one West Indian in the team.

Jacks has been one of their better batsman ironically, so surely it's not for him.

Atkinson and Bethell for Jofra and Pope apparently.

Bashir must be bowling that badly in the nets.

 

[Ochre]

As much as it helps push for 5-0, very flat about Jof being out.

Bloke could easily have given up on test cricket years ago and made ridiculous money bowling 4 overs a night round the world but has kept red ball cricket as the priority. Really hope this isn't the end of it now.

Was thinking of what happened to Dan Worrell. Had a few solid shield seasons and played a few ODi’s. Turns out he’s playing county and has switched allegiance to England. Thats him bowling to the poms in Adelaide and I suspect with the top, he would have been sitting with barmy army.

I actually wouldn’t have minded seeing him playing for England. Would have added to the rivalry even more.

Seen a few reels that I get from the county cricket Instagram page (not a follower but I still manage to get them). They seem to feature Worrell a fair bit getting some insane swing on English wickets

No spinner for the Melbourne test.

Can't help but feel this is an error, perfect chance to prepare for home life without Lyon and it's a deck you generally need to graft on as the game goes.

 

[ioppolo]

Well if you're going four quicks, surely Starc Boland Neser Richardson are the way to go.

Boland and Neser have outperformed Doggett, and Jhye adds the pace X factor that Doggett doesn't have.

I would've liked to have seen a spinner.
Having said that, the selectors have been spot on so far.

I really thought Green should've missed for Webster.

Lets hope greenie can perform tuggs has been given a huge leash

Lets face its Murphy bowls darts and similar pace to neser..so its not much of a loss and neser is in form happy to see him play

lets hope the selectors wake up and add Rocco to the squad for Sydney

I'm stoked for Neser, yep.

Doggett missing is an easy decision.

 

[Seadog]

Green is pretty lucky, the noise in all the chats and news comments is all anti Green.
Webster becomes a better cricketer every game Green plays.

Happy Boxing Day test eve everyone!

Should be a hoot however it goes down.
