Really, this is what its come to in the world of journalism now?! 'Are seen among intoxicated people'. So nothing to say Root and Anderson especially had done anything wrong. A few if the Aussie and England players have a few drinks after a long tour and make a little too much noise maybe. Top scoop! 😂

I think it was more a representation of Thorpe being on the sauce until 6am…

Michael Carberry and Steve James on last night's 5 Live Cricket Show are well worth a listen.

"We've stopped teaching kids the basics."

Hope that isn't too much of a spoiler.  ;)

Appears from today's news that the police were called to the bar because Thorpe was smoking a cigar indoors. Hard to understand why Thorpe was filming the incident and then leaked the footage but safe to assume he won't be part of an England coaching set up again.

Well if the law says you cannot smoke inside then you can’t.

I think myself from a performance point of view you have to question what is being done with our batsmen, yes playing CC in spring and autumn is rubbish-however some of our dismissals were very poor.

We do need a coach who knows test match batting and can get that mindset and technique into the players.

Pope, Sibley, etc have gone backwards in the last two years and that cannot be right.

I see Alex Lees is being tipped to tour the Windies, another mid thirties averaging player-let’s hope they know more about his character to step up

Think Lees has done pretty well since his last move on a difficult surface, worth a crack at least. Can't do worse than the incumbents have just done.

Well….selection has been done both ways, trescothick and vaughan(and Hussein) plucked out and did well with nothing special behind them. Pope averages 50 plus and has not so far got anywhere near his potential.

The other top order players mentioned on BBC were Josh Bohannon and Yates.

Have to say I think they should pick on character, I think Foakes can scrap in the keepers position and technique wise he’s pretty good.

Alex Lees will get picked and he will have a lot of goodwill to succeed I think
