Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

Why was Hales out of the team for a while? They mentioned something about the group having to say they wanted him to come back. What’s the story there?

Drug issues ?
Didnt he like the coke and I am not talking Coca Cola here

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Can England overtake newzeland?

Had to win in 6.2 overs.

In seriousness the list really is quite long

Haha, mildly comedic dismissal there

Crap batting.

Morgan didn't want him around to hurt team morale was the main gist of it tbh. Which is fair enough imo. England had a plethora of top order bats and Morgan was heavy on team culture and fostering inter-personal relationships in his time as skipper.
Don't think Hales (then) would have 'bought' into any that

Unlike your posts.

He played after the Bristol thing didn’t he, so presumably wasn’t that. Did he have a falling out with Morgan or something?

He's a ****, more or less.

Spoken like a true right wing ****wit mate.

one thing you can't accuse stokes of being is just right

sometimes he uses his left and other times his right

Wasn't there also a drugs scandal at some point?

 

[Burgey]

Unlike your posts.

But much like his face

Surprised he hasn’t been made skipper then

except for when he was being racist towards indian fans in private that became public on twitter

 

[Burgey]

Shame that magnificent cutaway shot of Sydney just then wasn’t in daylight, you’d have been able to see the Balmain peninsula under the bridge there and probably me waving at the camera

 

[GIMH]

Also a blackface incident

I don’t think anyone likes the bloke. Good batsman though. As far as I know it’s the T20 World Cup not the Nice Personalities World Cup

 

[thierry henry]

Has anyone got a quick breakdown on why these guys are still allowed in the comp?

sledger moment

Just a loathsome group representing an appalling nation, aren’t they? You wouldn’t squirt on them if they self immolated

 

[Spark]

Another 4 in the next two overs and this might get interesting again

Likely nude though, so it probably wouldn’t have been all that good for everyone watching at home or on their way back from the beach or the shops
