Rankin is shite, Bairstow is shite, Root is shite (for now), Bresnan is average, and Cook is woefully out of form.

Sorted, shove that up your aussie arse.

ECB are a joke tbh, their treatment of some players is shocking. Finn was rated one of the best bowlers at the start of 2013 in the ICC rankings and they've proper fucked him around. Compton made 2 centuries then had 1 bad series and got dropped. All this while Bairstow out in shit performances and continued to get picked and Bresnan struggles and gets picked all the time too. Finn is much better than Rankin and Bresnan. Bairstow hasn't exactly been treated well either. Tends to get dragged around on tour without playing any cricket and then we get an injury or something and he's thrown back into the Test match side having played no first class cricket for months at a time.

Yeah suppose you're right but I didn't see the merit in him getting in the team in the home series over other batsmen like Taylor who've done well but not been given chances. Бенне agree with most of that team but don't think Root should be dropped. Might be worth a look trying Stokes at number 3 and moving Root to 5.

Root needs dropping for his own good imo, too much too soon can absolutely ruin a player's confidence and his technique if you're not careful. He handled it well at first but being part of such a disastrous tour has taken it's toll on everyone, especially those with little to no previous experience of setbacks. Drop him, but let him know it's not a permanent solution, and protect him from that, for now. We do have other options, County cricket is doing it's job, just the selectors don't use them. Sam Robson needs a call up, ASAP.

Probably told to in order to keep his job, imagine if he didn't the stick they'd come in for and probable refusal from Pietersen and any associates when it comes to inerviews and the like.

Nearly got hit in the head twice yesterday whilst batting. Just managed to get my gloves in the way in time to stop myself going to hospital. Chasing 185 to win, put on a partnership with another lad of about 75 to take us from 70/3 to 140ish/4 which basically won us the game. Was going dark and they had some 6ft4 monster bowling short which was fucking horrible to face. I ended up just letting them hit me on the arms/body because at least I couldn't get out that way, regretting that a bit today.
