It tranpires that, like me, the captain seems to think that a load of this lot are milky.
-
Maybe, but aren't they just going out there and executing the strategy that they've been told to do?
-
Well yes...but Sir Benjamin Stokely wont see it like that. He sends them out there with the ideas in his head that work for him. If it doesn't work for them, there must be something wrong with them....after all....those instructions work for Ben.

I think Stokes is someone you'd want in the trenches with you. You just wouldn't want him in charge.
No idea if the chaps call him General Melchett. -
I guess Crawley is George. Opening the batting? What larks!
Brook is Baldrick. I've got a cunning plan - to hit every ball for 6.
Pope as Darling? Promoted beyond his ability due to being rather posh.
I guess that leaves Root as Blackadder - the hero who despairs at the ineptitude around him. -
Jofra* as flash?
Not seen for years. Turns up and tears through the gaff. Then fucks off never to be seen again.
* Insert name of any fragile quick.

WOOF!
Or should that be WOOD! -
Which one of the rest of the bowling attack gets to be Bob? "Oh, Sir, i wanted to see a bowling attack in Australia perform, so badly" "Well, Bob, you've come to the right place, a bowling attacking has performed this badly in Australia since Steve Harmison, high chief of all the Geordies, turned up at the Gabba and aimed his first ball at the MCG".

I see that the England coach has said that they are not changing their top order because knee jerk reactions are not their way. Someboby should try telling the top order that, when it comes to shot selection. Which looks very brain dead knee jerky to my eyes.
-
Lets hope they don't over-practice this time around.
-
We're going to win this one, you heard it here first.
-
I was glad to hear that they had a belting few days break. It's important that they come to this vital third test having caught a well earned rest from all that cricket.
And anyway, it will have been a big relief to have finally managed to catch something.

"It's just trying to fight in every situation that you find yourself in and understanding the situation and what you feel is required for your team."
Some raw prawn based hypocrisy from the England captain there.
Words. Are. Not. The. Same. As. Actually. Doing. Something.

See the Snicko didn't give Catey out because the operator took sound from the bowlers end stump rather than the batters, causing a mismatch between sound and picture.
They are pleading human error, but Aussie win at all costs mentally and history of cheating makes deliberate action seem more likely to me. God knows why though they will win without cheating,
-
When the snicko operating company say that they are "Taking full responisibility" for the mistake, what does that actually look like?

This being big and strong men fighting, seems to still involve fishing around outside off stump.
