lolz @ the bloke walking off the street.

Not having Archer doesn't feel right but hard to see who he displaces as long as you're picking a conventional lineup. Can't really argue with anything else. I don't think Bairstow's been good, but he's probably been better than Paine....

The bigger question is who would captain that lot?

Thanks, I knew the hard work would eventually pay off.

Didn't know Burgey was a mad dog supporter

Trying to work out the political leanings of cricketers is pure guesswork.

Trying to work out the political leanings of cricketers is pure guesswork.

Given that cricket is a rich guy's sport in most parts of the world, probably rather conservative on average.

Not sure I can argue with any of that.

Leach would be pushing Lyon. He's outbowled him so far since the 2nd Test IMO.

 

[vcs]

The no-ball alone wipes out any good he's done (sticking with Stokes in the last match was not some extraordinary effort, he only had to face 17 balls in total).

Lyon bowled Australia to victory in the first match.

Yeah it was a doddle staying with Stokes for the last wicket

I'd promote Root to open instead of the random guy off the street, bump Labuschagne to 3 and play Head at 5. Head hasn't been great but I think he's been next best.

bit of difference between "not some extraordinary effort" and "doddle"

Yea let's knight him for it

They've given MBE's for less.

I mean I wouldn't go that far

 

[Burgey]

Shut up
