Team for Afghanistan?
Broad, Anderson, Morgan possibly Bell send em home now.
Hales to open, with Ali, Taylor back to three, Root, Butler,Bopara might as well have a go, Woakes, Jordan, Tredwell, Finn and Ballance- might as well keep the younger ones in
One of the commentators made a point about how batsmen seem to do well when they first come into the squad, then fade away.. Must be something in the coaching/hierarchy. Moore's not doing well, but one day problems predate his tenure. No confidence amongst batsmen, bowlers ineffective and a captain who frankly doesn't appear to be overly bothered. Maybe his own form is costing him, but he doesn't inspire.
Far too much emphasis on degrees these days. Originally a university place was there for the most accademically able. As it should be, and unless parents earned above a given a amount, the place was there purely on ability not wealth. Nowadays there are far too many unis. which has resulted in devaluation of a degree. Many employers now undertake additional testing to separate out better candidates. Sadly many young people have their aspirations unfairly raised by the concept of having a qualification that no longer has the credibility it once had. Leaving them saddled with debt, (this doesn't include living costs) is unfair. There are different ways into a successful career, and all these should be used. Instead there is too much emphasis on going along what seems to be the socially accepted norm.
Fook all wrong with proper apprenticeships etc
