Bad news for Australia.Pope is ruled out of the rest of the series due to a shoulder dislocation problem
Bad news for Australia.Pope is ruled out of the rest of the series due to a shoulder dislocation problem
give him time he willI also presume Halba will now do an Ollie Pope thread in this subbie.
his initial selection was itself dubious wasnt itOne thing I’ve found strange is the case of Liam Livingstone. He went to Pakistan’s and was talked up , then was injured and that’s seen him totally forgotten this summer
he can bowl spin of both types and is a T20 slogger which obviously fits the template but he’s nowhere to be seen currently
mate dom sibley and burns will be opening again for eng by the 5th testGood on them also for having Dan "And you think Crawley's average is laughable' Lawrence as a solid backup at three.
There does seem a weird element of contrarian stubbornness about this too though. Like, everyone saying x e.g. "Pick Foakes" makes team management go "no **** you we'll do what we want" and do something else.Some of our selections all series have been odd - Moeen, leaving out Foakes, Woakes nowhere to be seen, no Dawson, Tongue and now Lawrence.
Some have obviously worked out better than others but they're not afraid to back their judgement and go with a left field pick.
The worst thing for Aus would be if they brought Foakes in and just let Bairstow bat but I just read Eng have decided not to bring in a replacement for Pope. So Lawrence at #3 it isPope is ruled out of the rest of the series due to a shoulder dislocation problem
I was thinking Vince but this is equally funny.Please tell me we're not going to play Dan Lawrence
yesIs "sledgers" referring to Australians or the MCC or English or... who?
We need at least one test of Jonny trying to get his revenge, purely for entertainment value.Really should be Foakes in but we're idiots.
It was left field but since it appears he is a forgotten manhis initial selection was itself dubious wasnt it
I actually anticipate a 300% increase of mankad threats.We need at least one test of Jonny trying to get his revenge, purely for entertainment value.
Why isn't a dislocated shoulder an external injury? What counts as external then a broken nose?Hmmm, a dislocated shoulder isn’t an external injury
That spirit of cricket thingy is pretty flexible
It's almost as if England didn't want to win the Ashes.The worst thing for Aus would be if they brought Foakes in and just let Bairstow bat but I just read Eng have decided not to bring in a replacement for Pope. So Lawrence at #3 it is
Not meme enough - McCullum sending one word sms "Ashes?" to Jason Roy aws.So I presume we'll play Dan Lawrence.
