I see the usual suspects have failed again for England.

The ashes is going to be difficult enough without constantly carrying shit players.

What do you reckon PJ?

Thank god we have someone on here that likes cricket!
Far better than the

Did the thought of talking about cricket send you to sleep mid-sentence there?

43-3 against a very poor Windies team is not good. The quest for a partner for Cook is far from complete........recall for Geoffrey?

Thanks for waking me up! i was having a nightmare that pools were 3rd bottom of the Alliance Premier League!

I don't think anyone they've picked is 'shit' if you're talking Westley and Stoneman as the usual suspects Stoneman has batted twice Westley las looked a decent player without getting a big score he needs one though. We still have a couple of problem positions in the order but that will continue if they keep chopping and changing. I'd like to see Hales get another go in the middle order though, Root might have to move back up to 3.

But they are nearly out of time to keep trying new players. Or giving them time to bed in.

The use of the term shit, a little harsh, is a reflection of the fact they are playing at the very highest level now, and keep getting found out.

So at the very highest level maybe they are shit.

Westley has an obvious flaw, which the aussies will exploit no end.

Stoneman, regardless of whether he is good enough, needed a big score, a long innings, but at least he still has at least one more innings.

Not convinced by Malan either.

Its worth remembering that this is a very average west indies team too.

I think England have a very good side apart from 2/3 positions. That 2/3 could cost us the ashes.
