[Prince EWS]

Taste it ajdude.

Gutted though.

 

[Spikey]

well played Prince EWS. I'm glad you returned from the grave

 

[GIMH]

If I had the freedom to change my avatar I'd make it this right now:

I thought you had rights to it again now

 

[Spikey]

so does starc bat 11

 

[Burgey]

British newspapers confirming McGrath to present Clarke with his cap on debut.

 

[Eloquentia]

Who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea to give a kid (with a meagre record in tour matches) their debut overseas in an ashes test when we've got the best spinner we've had since MacGill at our disposal. Baffling.

Gonna be hard to beat this as post of the day

 

[LongHopCassidy]

So, is Lyon injured or is this the reliable-offspinner-rogered-for-unproven-left-arm-orthodox move that worked so well last Ashes?

 

[Ruckus]

yeah what is going on. Did lyon get injured or something? Hit by a car?

 

[social]

If true, I don't have a huge problem with Agar either as he has been performing

Good stuff from Boof

It's a pretty obvious choice imo

 

[Burgey]

Haha the poor **** (if this is true). Constantly bagged because he should take more wickets; takes 7 fer in his last test and omitted.

Our spinning stocks obviously not as weak as we all thought.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Well, our batting looking ever-so-slightly less crap if nothing else.

 

[Adders]

Huh?? Has the team been announced?? Can only see the squad listed on cricinfo??

In other news, so TB hasn't relented and let Billy in with his trumpet......pack of ****s.

Your gettin worried now aren't you Adders?

 

[Cabinet96]
