No but should be

If Paine goes Starc and Lyon should go as well.

650 wickets between them and they did f**k all.

 

[Twizzle]

no

 

[BunniesMan]

If Langer thinks Paine and Wade should be selected again then he should be sacked.

Probably not but Paine should contemplate hanging up the gloves.

Lyon's average shows he is and always has been average. Maybe Starc surprises me but I think he is done too. A great bowler for many years but bowlers in his mould (Johnson, Lee etc) rarely maintain their peak deep into their 30s. Hazlewood and Cummins are more likely to age well like McGrath, Anderson etc.

No.

Langer has some credits left. Paine less so but I doubt he is finished yet.

Starc had a shit series but we know what he is generally capable of and should be kept.
Lyon has never had enough variation. He's just another Kerry O'Keeffe but with a shit personality.

The bubble and JL seems a bit too much for the players.

No.

Since ball-tampering they both help rebuild the team and went on to retain the ashes in England, something we haven’t done in decades before.. and without being the arseholes we’d been under Lehmann previously.

Series losses against India have been tough, but India are a true force in all formats these days. T20 is a lottery and losing to Bangladesh - I couldn’t be less bothered about.

Given Covid bubbles on world cricket in the last 18 months it’s had enormous effects, more that most sports.

Finally, there’s no legitimately better options out there for either job right now. Especially the captaincy.

Langer won't last. The players are off him and his results have been poor. The team has relied on Smith and Cummins for years. Marnus is the only player who has shown any improvement under Langer.

Paine will retire by the end of the Ashes no matter the result.

Bayliss for coach, just saying.
