Road to the 2017-18 Ashes in Australia

[Dan]

You mean they picked Finn and not Rikki?

****ing dammit I'm not supporting England in this series.

 

[Jarquis]

Well, ****.

[Lillian Thomson]

Only England could call someone up for the Ashes on the same day they lose their Central Contract.

 

[Woodster]

Think it was a fairly predictable selection, Finn must have been close to getting the nod in the initial squad annoucement of 16 ahead of the likes of Coverton. It perhaps an indicates a preference to replacing Stokes with a bowler rather than another batsman at six, again fairly predictable as England wouldn't fancy fielding the four bowlers over there and with the likes of Woakes and Ali more than capable of shunting up the order a spot, it does look the sensible move.

Glad this has finally come out as I wanted to share it but couldn't reveal my sources.

Apparently there were interesting pictures on his snapchat as well.

Anyone seen the picture yet????

 

[Gob]

Anyone got the blowjob video?

 

[marc71178]

Anyone seen the picture yet

Apparently a woman in his hotel room (not his fiancée) in just his team shirt is one and a video of him pissing on the floor of another hotel
Room with the caption referring to it being another team member’s room (the Test captain)

Anyone seen the picture yet��������

Bored of the runs ?

Wish I didn't search it in twitter now.

Yess that one (bored of the tons)!
Its just a bit embarrassing?

 

[Furball]

Carey's batting notwithstanding, he really hasn't kept to a spinner of note. Keeping to a spinner is very different from keeping to quicks.

As he's Australian, this won't matter.

 

[YorksLanka]

Finn ? Really? Would have thought inlet plunkett would have been a better fit as can bat too..

We have the world's best off spinner (outside the subcontinent).

Plunkett barely plays first class cricket nowadays, he couldn't make it past day 1 of bowling all day in 30 plus degree heat.

I've just been made aware that this series will in fact be the Magellan Ashes

As observed by king cricket - that's a fitting sponsor, named after a man who went halfway around the world and got killed

 

[Burgey]

Always wondered why he is so often described as the first circumnavigator. I mean, it's kid of important to make it the whole way I'd have thought.

Who is higher up in the pecking order, Vince or Ballance?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Who is higher up in the pecking order, Vince or Ballance?

Not sure. But it’s a frightening choice.

 

[Howe_zat]

Who is higher up in the pecking order, Vince or Ballance?

Hard to say because a few weeks ago no one would have thought Vince was close to being in the pecking order. He was barely even a chicken.
