He's 30 years old and has been acting like a teenager. I'm struggling to find any sympathy for him.

The ECB are also clearly completely incompetent at 'raising' players or providing a proper professional environment for them to advance their careers since we see this sort of behaviour among individuals across pretty much every generation of England players.

I think responsibility, overall, is squarely on Hales. This is a very different situation to that of footballers who earn millions whilst still teenagers and have a huge amount of hangers-on. I�m sure Hales has plenty of yes man in his immediate social circle, but he�s an educated man and should know better. Perhaps he should have been given some more mental and emotional support following recent incidents, but he was already raised and had a place in a professional environment.

I beg to differ

And conveniently, this leaves the door open for Archer to walk into the squad !

Archer will not replace Hales! They need someone who can bat anywhere in the top 6 - this is why Vince or similar will replace Hales.
Archer will have to replace someone like Plunkett to be honest.

I know they are not the same player, and your thoughts are along the lines of most sane people, however, this is the ECB !

What strikes me though is that the ECB must have been aware of all this for a while, so why include him in the first place.

The same reason that Archer was not included in the original squad announcement possibly? So that the squad that have got England to the position they are in, feel appreciated?

I really don't think they have dropped Hales because they want Archer in the squad - they will have to replace Hales with a batsman...end of! Especially when you look at Roy recovering from a spasm whilst batting! They can't risk not having a backup top order batsman.

What I was questioning was the inclusion of Hales being in the original squad as surely the ECB were aware of what's going on with him.

It should be Sam Hain to slot into the squad tbh, the kid has the Highest list a average of all time

sfa82 · « **Reply #115 on:** April 29, 2019, 01:10:14 PM »

I saw some people on social media mentioning Sam Hain as a possibly wildcard card selection to replace Hales. I wonder if David Wiley will vocalise the same concerns about the player not having been part of the group and thus shouldn't be selected if Hain gets selected. Or since it doesn't threaten his position in the team, he will be fine with it.

I have never seen Hain play so I don't even know how likely it is that he will be a replacement.

petehosk · « **Reply #116 on:** April 29, 2019, 01:13:08 PM »

Decent List A average to be fair - plus bats at 3 in List A matches and last outing 161*
All looks good but I bet they still include Vince!!

Massive Joe Clarke fan.

Hain clearly has the better record but I think its about time Clarke was given a go
