squad just announced

 

Root, Cook, Stoneman, Malan, Ballance, Vince, Moeen, Crane, Foakes, Bairstow, Stokes, Woakes, Broad, Anderson, Ball, Overton

that batting is very thin

 

if the pitches do little we are going to struggle to bowl them out

 

i see ashes to them by at least 2

in fact, you'd only expect root, cook, bairstow and stokes to make runs

 

not sure how moeen copes on a pitch with pace and bounce

 

the more i look at it, the less i can see us making 400 in the first innings

Losing 1-3

0-5 16/1 bet365, buying money

Aussies are no great shakes at pres. Just lost to Bangladesh. Their batting isn't up to much. Ours is better. Their bowling possibly better than ours on them wickets. No team stands out more than the other. Be a close series.

I agree.

Zero chance stokes goes after this video was released

You may be right but I've seen a longer video on the sun's site

 

It looks like hales and stokes are up against 5 or 6

 

One of the others threatens with a bottle

 

Stokes finishes it

 

While I think he will probably be found guilty of something, the other lot seemingly wanted some action and found it

Watch out, Warner

Lad raises a bottle. Enough said.

Our ashes chances lay in the hands of Stokes and now in the hands of the police

What a fucking balloon!

Lad came at him with a bottle,

 

stokes sorted it

 

move on

Just seen "the video" on BBC news. Now unless I somehow missed it, only stokes being naughty. If I'm plainly blind I apologise, if not then are the BBC being complete twats for selectively editing the video?

I think we'll have to wait and see

 

If there was a bottle, then it's a different story

Then the real issue; what on earth were they doing out at that time in the middle of a series?

Mitigating evidence will be taken into consideration. But one bloke swings, and one bloke goes down. The facts are overwhelming - sounds familiar don't you think. Police will prosecute the ginger bellend!

stoke and hales banned for selection until further notice

Suspended

aus to win 5-0 is 14/1 with 365

 

go make yourself wich

stoke and hales banned for selection until further notice

 

 

which is fair enough

Then the real issue; what on earth were they doing out at that time in the middle of a series?

Quite. The "offence" will be dealt with in due course. The coach made it clear yesterday he was unhappy with them being out at that time, and they've suffered.

Fair dos.

Stokes to be Rio's first professional opponent?

Winner fights Andy Todd.
