One of the funniest things I've ever heard. Actual criminal

Christchurch, that's in England!

Whatever you think of the verdict, he was found not guilty so is not an 'actual criminal' (unless there is another conviction i've forgotten about)

 

[TheJediBrah]

If he was Australian he'd probably be serving a 5 year ban from the game.

Plays for England so made captain.

Tells you all you really need to know

Your act was tiresome in 2015 champ

 

[thierry henry]

How do you even make a joke about this

But anyway, what’s he going to do? Bark orders in his pretend accent and then king hit anyone who doesn’t obey? Have red hair?

 

[trundler]

Botham and Flintoff were such excellent captains, after all. This is going to be like watching a prophecy be fulfilled in real time.

Flawed logic though, right? Just because other all rounders were bad doesn’t mean he will be. The fact he’s more of a partnership breaker (or should be) than frontline bowler might help.

I dunno, jury is out I guess. I don’t know who else we could have picked.

 

[ImpatientLime]

fake accent? wtf

either way he's gonna end up bowling 50 overs a match and opening the batting. looking forward to it.

Several all rounders such as Richie Benaud and Imran Khan have been amongst the greatest captains of all time.

Let's not continue to deflect the focus onto him being an all-rounder as if that's even in the top 15 reasons why considering him as a cricket captain should be cause for psychiatric evaluation for anyone even entertaining the idea

Your face was timesome in 2015 champ

Which is why that was the year I finally grew a permanent beard. To freshen things up. Don't say I don't respond to feedback.

 

[Starfighter]

There's nothing less freshening than a beard. Makes you look twenty years older.

 

[trundler]

Not if you can only grow the Courtney Walsh patch.

 

[sledger]

australians in this thread calling other people criminals lmao

Rumour is that Zak Crawley could be vice captain. I'm not sure he should be anywhere near the side but he's Rob Key's nephew or something, isn't he?

Friend of the family, I think. And Key has been mentoring Crawley for a few years.

PLEASE NO. I'de rather bring buttler back and give VC to him.

another victory for the overlooked, privately educated types.
