These English merkins hand out Knighthoods like f**king lollipops

Oh you managed to wipe your own arse and flush the toilet? Bow down and let me touch you with my sword

Lol Didn’t Paul Collingwood get an OBE or something for 30 runs in 2005?

 

[Desert Qlder]

Any pommy bowler who gets Smith out before he tons up will be knighted.

And he wasn't even bald. Go figure

 

[hineyrulz]

Haha I was gonna say last night the kid looks like Chucky.

Imagine him and Leach out on the town.

If him and Leech were out spotted together it would look like an episode of to catch a predator.

Take a seat Leechy.

The correct number is 17 at 8.5.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Dave Warner should be made to pay for his flight back to Australia.

Even off a no ball?

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

Sorry boys been busy supporting a well run team... what did I miss?? Haha

Play on for a 5’fer so darsh

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

anyone else prefer Khawaja’s 30’s over Bancroft, Warner and Harris’s 0-10?

In the age of the marsh selection criteria, Labuschagne has secured his place for 3 years based on this series.
I honestly hope he gets a ton here, I haven’t seen someone deserve one as much in a while.
For the summer I’d be opening with Burns and Khawaja tbh but we all know they’ll persist with Warner the flat track bully. If he doesn’t get runs in Australia surely that’s the end of him. I’m looking forward to the contest with Boult and the pink ball.

 

[JamesRustle]

Harris is not a test openers arsehole.


When you defend with an angled bat as constantly as he does you are only going. to edge behind. What does the batting coach do??? Seriously???

Is the batting coach a mentally weak pom?

 

[Pete Cash]

People need to remember that Harris has a terrible work ethic. He left WA because Langer expected more from him. ended up scoring 100s on a flat MCG. Gets selected because a huge hole has opened up at opener and looks ok i guess, but doesn't go on with it.

So he goes into an English ashes with a chance to play county cricket but turns it down for a rest.

But why not go with the flat track bully if he's the best player for the conditions? As long as you have the stones to drop him for OS. I'm guessing you think they don't, and you're probably right.

Right now for the first test against Pakistan

Burns
Patterson
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Pucovski
Carey
Cummins
Pattinson/Starc
Lyon
Hazlewood

Warner is still consider a chance if he gets some runs in shield cricket.

*and stop off and walk Kakoda on the way through, and after that, be made the chairman of “Clean Up Australia Day”, as the ultimate bin duty, for being a shit merkin.

I do wonder how hard the rest of the batsmen work on their game.

Everybody knows Smith as a guy who obsesses about batting and constantly working on his game. Lasagne himself has said that he's trying to learn everything from him, and the rewards are starting to appear.

If the rest of the batsman aren't working as hard as those two are then they need to get off their f**king arses, there is absolutely no excuses not to. If they really don't want to, they can f**k off back to playing obscure T20 comps in far flung parts of the world
