We will see when he is fit. Christmas carols aren’t about him btw

Lib Dems have made things difficult now IMO. They look to be the extremists on the Remain side in the same sense that the Tories are now the extremists on the Brexit side. Labour amazingly look like they've positioned themselves in the fairest way, with the highest chance of putting the issue to bed without total chaos. Unsure which way to vote now but am starting to think NJS is right about Swinson. While I still don't know her politics very well, I think she's started running before she can walk here. I'm not someone who believes that Corbyn is an 'extreme option' outside of Brexit, but I'm a bit curious to know what the people who do think about the current lay of the land. Choices for them are now "extreme Brexit, extreme Remain, or extreme Corbyn"

Good post. I agree about specialists rather than all rounders. After all, Foakes got a ton in his first test, didn't he? I am not sure that both Buttler and Bairstow can continue to be picked without getting some red ball runs soon. If either of them is to be the wicket-keeper all rounder, he must score runs. At the moment, Buttler is probably ahead, but neither is the best keeper available, which should always be the relevant factor. I like having Curran in there, both for his potential with the bat but more so because of the different angle he provides. He could do with a bit more pace, but he must be the future. We need to blood some players in NZ this winter, to see how they go. Although I cannot stand the man - he has no class whatsoever (other than as a batsman, obviously) - Smith was the difference. Labuschagne was the next best and probably saved the Lords test for Oz. Just when we had knocked out Smith, another annoyingly tough batsman came along. I don't understand, on that basis and his record in England, he was not chosen from the beginning. Finally, I totally agree about Warner - couldn't have happened to a nicer twat.

the pitch-side reviews were fucking farcical

He literally can't even negotiate a press conference with Luxembourg.
