Tommy Fresh

Thomas is wank but Nelson? He had an off day, but we've looked noticeably better when he's played, it's a good thing you aren't running the club as he's one of our biggest assets financially

Don't think I've ever seen the bloke look happy

I don't massively rate Stolarczyk but he's nowhere near the level of Ward and what errors did Iversen make for us? Also funny you've put Mark Schwarzer as part of us being renowned for having class keepers because he was shit for us

Imagine whinging about an offside goal being given offside

And you looked absolutely shite against us, what's your point?

The 4th was wild

So a few people then, not "the forum", difference is Nelsons been shite today for the first time in the league, whereas Faes is shit every week

No because he's better than Faes and because we're ran by cretins we need to actually try and maximise the value of lads like Nelson

What's that 3 times this season we've conceded 3 in the first half, bye Marti

Yeah has he essentially agreed to sign to make sure we get a proper fee for him and we've agreed we'd let him go if someone does come in

Duckett gets away with more because his average is still over 40 and he also has a good first class record to back it up, Crawley has a fairly unflattering test average along with a terrible first class average. Pretty sure I posted it during the first test where someone reported he had scored single figures in like 40% of his test innings, which regardless of the occasional very good innings he has makes him a massive luxury player. Pope is a strange one, bit like Rory Burns where they do very well in County cricket but don't seem to able to really kick on at test level.

That's Pope done for the series at least surely

Ah shame he dropped that, could have really shifted the momentum

Kapustka like Benkovic was the right sort of profile, fairly cheap and likely on low wages and if they develop, you comfortably make decent money on them

I do actually think we'll win a test in this series but probably after it's already decided

Didn't say they had won the series did I? I've said they've won test matches in England and actually competed and bearing in mind the past two times they toured they held The Ashes so they didn't have to. For some further context the past 3 series in England have seen Australia win 6 matches, England win 7. In Australia England haven't won a test match since 2010...... A crap West Indies side have won more matches in Australia since 2010 then us If we didn't have Rob Key stinking out from the top with his obsession of pace we'd of gave ourselves a better chance.

I wouldn't pick Bethell yet, but they will

Australia have though drawn the last two series in England, winning 4 tests

Doesn't help though, when you've got a bloke emphasising for the past few years that they are only really interested in pace whilst working towards this series, ignoring the fact that lads like Sam Cook are probably more suited to Australian conditions now then lads just banging it in.

With how much emphasis Key has put on preparing for this series, he's surely the nailed on to go. (Alrhough this is the ECB so probably not)

Yeah then we can watch us lose to Fergus O'Neill etc instead

I'd keep Duckett

Hopefully this series will be the last we see of Crawley and Pope for a while

Not commented on Phil Foden in a while mate

Also the snicko stuff is wild
