Im with you mate, this is unacceptable. The ACA need to drop this haynes bloke from the test squad immediately. No way should he take any further part in this Ashes series.


This is customrugby.co.uk isnt it?

"You can't fix stupid" - dont know who said it, but it was published in The Australian so it has to be true.

Anywhom, Boxing Day just around the corner, Ashes gone.. will england be playing with a new team? If they are to give crane a game, surely it is now.

 Will Australia rest Starcs Bruised heel?

Hope so, though this a heap of times before about Leggers (Salisbury, Schofield, Rashid) but it’d be amazing if we could find a good in.

Making wholesale changes is not the way England do things I think even when they  have been at the lowest its 3 max

I read that article as "he hasn't been told if he's playing or not, but if he gets the nod he's ready"
I thought it was an "I'm nearly on my Christmas holiday" article to be honest

both sides will want to win but
Regardless of how they talk it up once  a  series is won rarely the intensity is there.

I think that is the difference between England and Australia though.

When England were 3-0 up with 1 Test to play in 2013 they let their foot off the gas and handed debuts to Simon Kerrigan and Chris Woakes. While it was something of a "what if" with the light causing a draw, could you see Australia doing something similar?

Then in 2015 England were 3-1 up with 1 Test to play, and didn't even turn up in losing by an innings. I can't help but think the Aussies have a much more ruthless nature than us

I wouldn't underestimate the Aussies appetite for a white-wash.

Of course the Aussies want a 5- 0  win but will as the original OP asked  with the same  intensity.

I honestly think they will you know.
Was it any other series I'd agree with you, but this is the Ashes and the only thing the Aussie love more than beating the Poms is humiliating them!
