If i was a convict id rather be doing the job myself. What have you got to be worried about? Starcs 90mph just stand a few yards back and wear 3 inners. Apart from hazlewood the rest who ive completely forgotten are average

Wade might not have a bad series with the gloves ( but he might...you just never know when he's going to return to 'iron gloves' form ) . I'm more worried about his batting....he's so out of form its scary .

@Woodyspin .... can we have foakes then ? We'll swap you for nevill , wade , and any spinner ( other than lyon ) of your choice .

What happened to SOK? Is he lost in the outback?

Seemed to drop off the radar alarmingly quickly.

he's still are very good bowler. got a tad inconsistent towards the end of indian series , then got suspended for getting in trouble while on the drink. didnt play for months , then got called up for 2nd bangersandmash test ....bowled poorly , but had no game time under his belt and was barely off the plane and into a test match . so , he's still there ot thereabouts.

Jim maxwell ....legendary Aussie commentator says we are the worst batting line up to leave these shores in living memory and we, the poms, are going to lose 5-0

Aggers says its one of the weakest Ashes sides he can remember...

Vic Marks says the selection policy has reverted to a pick your mates team like you would do in a village green.

It's the Labour Party conference I'm just waiting for Jeremy Corbin to give his opinion and we have a full house.

Jeez....thank god Chris Woakes is fit is all I've got to say

More scary that wade�s never been in form yet continues to be selected

That is disappointing.

Stokes' trajectory is eerily similar to Annakin Skywalker's after his marriage to Padme, he just turned evil. Is Andrew Strauss the Obi Wan of this saga? Will he clip Stokes below the knees and leave him near the firey volcano.

How's it disappointing - The video of Harvey went viral the minute it happened. not only is it funny it's a perfect attitude to anyone who has no respect for you, give them none back. The video of Stokes isn't mockery but purely a couple of lads enjoying the fact the C word come out of a 15 year old's mouth live on TV.

I point you to Louis Smith who was banned after mocking Islam by laughing and pretending to prey shouting 'Allahu Akbar'! This was his second breach in 5 months and was banned for 2 months from Gymnastics.

In all honesty Stokes' is playground stuff in comparison.

Stokes is still caught up in that "lad" behavior/culture. He is vice-captain of the England cricket team. That means something. I was in disbelief when I saw the fight video but this "Harvey" nonsense explains something about him and why he'd be caught in jam outside a small nightclub in a compromising situation. It hasn't sunk into his testosterone addled brain that he is representing England. And he has fans outside of England too!

Unfortunately, if Cricket is going to grow in new markets, players need to rise up to a higher level of professionalism. On the field and off the field. He could've killed those guys, they were no match for his physicality. He is a "bloody" idiot! And, he need serious psychiatric help. I hope Strauss kicks him off the team!

Stokes showing that he isn't fit to represent his country I'm afraid. Shame - a talented cricketer but seems to be a bit of a knob.

The Harvey video is just people jumping on the bandwagon.
When that happened the office I worked in people made several jokes about it, my cricket team did (the odd meme about it will still pop up in the group chat every now and again). The daily mail wouldn�t have published this in isolation and are just doing the usual gutter journalism to kick someone when they are down. We all knew stokes had that liability side in him, he�s been a stupid boy of late, but this is just unnecessary

Grab the pitch forks and torches time for snowflake justice

Someone said a naughty word so I need to be offended for everyone on the planet

Yep. Despite the heman rage, and mocking disabled kids. Clearly a "decent bloke" who should be cut some slack.

Looks like Australia has taken a huge jump to the left (and to the moral high ground) since this happened, at least it means their bizarre opposition to same-sex marrage should be over.

manno · « **Reply #329 on:** September 29, 2017, 07:10:17 AM »

What opposition? Australians for marriage equality sits around 70% and has for a long time. The opposition sits with the far right faction of the current liberal government and our P.Ms unwillingness to upset his party by calling for a free parlimentary vote to legislate the change.

But anyway. Australian politics aside. This stokes is still a giant flog. No moral leap there.
