Welcome to the 80's

Lacist!

That explains Seaman Staines

What are you doing here then?

I thought the talk was a swap for Billings, which isn't such a bad idea, either. More mobile than Voldermort, Jimmy, Long, and Short.

I used to think he was a sensible voice among the rubbish coming from the Chron, but his fixation on the Cabbage is just weird and is more in keeping with a talkshite presenter than a broadsheet journalist (if there is even such a thing now).

Also, the reason they have stuck with Wilder is the respect he has gained by getting them where they are now. As I understand it, they have been quite unlucky this season, which is why they are where they are. On the other side, the Cabbage has been immeasurably lucky in the last 18 months.

I think he was brought back due to Burns taking paternity leave and Pope being injured, but the ability against spin is very much in his favour and it would be his place to lose again. Seems harsh, but you are right that he is probably more likely being kept for the World Cup and his recent record in tests (apart from the last couple) has not been that flash. Unless he can play the fast bowlers properly, he ain't going to OZ for the Ashes.

Hopefully with a different club!

BA, shirley?

They're also playing about 20 tests this year. Can't have all your best players for all of them.

Fat fingers?

Which one of you is Simon Bird? UM!

Be the first one!

Essembee'd your post

Of course not - not too late yet!

Run Melania!

Are we really that good?

The issue with the extra bounce is that they must pitch it up. The last couple of tours they have bowled too short and very few balls would actually have hit the stumps. If Anderson and Broad do that, which they do normally, there is no reason why they can't succeed in Oz. It just needs proper plans in place, not a short-pitched strategy all the time.

That's the Cuban ex-pat influence. They believed the communist argument, which would have (apparently) led to a rapprochement with Cuba and all that would entail. Also, probably a lot of them (especially the undocumented ones) probably work for him.

Big Joe would still be working out which was the opposite direction!

In other words, "people know more than me and can point it out to the world. It's just not fair".

FFS - stop holding back! Say what you mean.

Given his age, this is completely against previous club policy, and if you think that he would have got a new contract if Rafa was still there, you're dreaming. Not that I have anything against Clark as a player, as he has been playing pretty well in a shite team, but this is worrying because Penfold is clearly still fully backing the Cabbage, when he should be looking for a replacement.
