I think it would also have been dependent on who the captain was. Cook was frankly far too weak a person to stand up to the Swann, Prior, Broad, Anderson clique that ruled the dressing room at that time.

If we what read is correct
Cook as Captain stood aside rather than insisting I want Peterson in my team

What a bold statement to make!

Do you know that for sure? Were you there to have a first hand account of what went on?

Everyone will have their own view. I am happy that this version of events has been collaborated by opponents including Ricky Ponting whereas it is only those part of the clique who deny it.

Cook was happy to throw KP under a bus in private whilst lacking the courage to justify the decision in public.

Dropped...

removed from all england squads ahead of international season

Giles made decision, saying:

�We have thought long and hard about this decision. We have worked hard to create the right environment around the England team and need to consider what is in the best interests of the team, to ensure they are free from any distractions and able to focus on being successful on the pitch.

�I want to make it clear this is not the end of Alex�s career as an England player. The ECB and the PCA will continue to aid Alex and work alongside his county club Nottinghamshire to give him the support he needs, to help him fulfil his potential as a professional cricketer.�

Correct decision...... now who replaces him I wonder.... 🤔🤔

It'll be Vince

I'd go Hain scores 161 last time out and had a good North vs south done well for Lions too

Nobody to blame but himself. Fool.

As for who steps in I can't see it being anyone else but Vince right now

Hain should be picked, but it will be Vince.

Given all the chat around Archer being that he would be disruptive as an outside influence/an unknown to the team, I think the ECB has created a rod for its own back here. They have to pick someone to replace Hales who has already been in the squad and played ODIs, so that leaves Vince or Malan, I'd expect. I'd like to see Clarke or Hain, but I don't think they have a chance.

Haven't seen any of that chat from the actual ECB though, Smith has said little on the matter and just picked Archer?
Clarke would be replacing one controversy with another so seems unlikely, Hain bats in Root's spot at 3 so could be seen as not versatile enough as backup. Vince is already in the Ireland squad and has been the man in best form of the contenders so hard to suggest they'll pick someone else, bit of a shame Liam Livingstone has been benchwarming at the IPL rather than potentially scoring county runs.

Also for what it's worth it's still poor that the ECB tried to cover this one up

petehosk · « **Reply #100 on:** April 29, 2019, 09:32:45 AM »

I assume the selectors will be looking at who bats well in the warm up matches? I suspect that if Vince hits some decent runs, then they will go for him.

I hope it's someone without tattoos.

Had forgotten about Clarke's involvement in the Hepburn case, you're right about them definitely not wanting to court further controversy.

Looks like Vince then.

you could see this coming I think. On ability Hales should be in the squad but I thought they would look at the team overall with the WC being the most important knockout tournament held in this Country ever.

I have little sympathy for him if im honest, have read other members posts thou and not everyone sees it the same way, so differing views reflected here on this

Time for a new 'Why won't England pick Alex Hales?' thread? Or a revival of the old one?
