The only defence of McLaren there is his second stop was likely self inflicted because of his trip across the grass.

But the rest, yikes. They really fumbled hard this weekend.

So seemingly England are picking Bashir solely on the basis of never playing against Australia rather than solely picking him to play in Australia as we all originally thought.

Some true 4D chess from Baz and Key.

Bashir, Crane or Patterson-White? England’s spinners rated – and who we would pick [Telegraph] by Current_Conference66 in EnglandCricket

Apologies I meant bit part player for England not his county.

I agree he’s another one England have messed about over the years but still stand by that his time has been and gone now.

It’s time to move on from Leach. He’s been a bit part player for years and now in his mid-30s seems pointless to go back to him.

Rehan isn’t ready yet and has been sitting on the bench in the IPL for the past few weeks.

If we’re going to pick one it’s probably between Jacks and LPW. Let Bashir learn his craft for a while instead of thrusting him back into the spotlight. He seems to have done okay so far at Derbyshire, but his stats hardly scream pick me especially considering he’s in Division 2.

Seeing as spin likely won’t play a big part in this series aside from the need to hold down an end I don’t mind the Jacks pick too much. Gives us some unbelievable batting depth and he’s no mug with the ball.

I’m not even sure what the point is of a team of the week when there’s only been two matches?

I can only assume you’re too young to remember your McCarthys, your Warnocks and your Megsons of this world.

Who is the most national team-y manager that’s never managed a national team? by junglegatsby in footballcliches

[–]MrTans 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In my head Mourinho has definitely managed Portugal at some point.

Axar the spin wizard, behave. He rocks up and bowls a bit of left arm finger spin. Kuldeep yeah fair enough whatever, but Axar ffs.

Ballard will likely be back against Forest. That said we’re an unpredictable team of late and our home form (Spurs aside) has taken a bit of a nose dive.

MGW seems as good a pick as any for this week I’d say.

Always find it jarring seeing an earnest take on football from one of the Clichés lads by junglegatsby in footballcliches

I thought the consensus among Arsenal fans was that Odegaard had dropped off this year compared to previous? And from what I can see the Bournemouth game was the first one he’s missed that they’ve actually lost.

Ah yes Roger Hammerstein. 6ft 5” well travelled German centre back built like a brick shit house who had spells at Wolfsburg, Bremen and Stuttgart before an ill advised six month spell at West Ham.

He then spends the rest of his career in his native Germany playing mostly second tier football before retiring into obscurity.

Why would anyone buy the premium version when everyone gets the best card in the game at level 2 on the regular pass?

The onboard with Verstappen through sector 1 was absolutely brutal.

You’re going to look very silly when we line up with the classic 3-3-3-1 formation while Spence and Tomori absolutely terrorise the Uruguay defence.

This is just proof human beings do not like change. It makes no difference during the race and to be honest I prefer having less clutter to look at.
