We are going to need more than the ginger nut after that showing in the 1st Test. We need to have come up with a way to clone him like Dolly The Sheep and send out 11 out of them.
Also, he won't have played any cricket for months now. How likely is he going to be in touch to face 3 bowlers sending them down at 90 mph.
Yeah yeah, bowling machine, but it is totally different experience...at least thats my excuse when they swapped out the machine for Alex Tudor and he gave me a good working over.

Yes, they've gone a bit soft. Report them to Momentum.
I realise that's a joke.
But even you must feel a little uncomfortable with the reported stories about Momentum wanting to unleash "hate" against people, including - if the reports are to be believed - the PM's husband.
We had quite enough of that with McBride planting poisonously untrue stories about political spouses. Why should lovely cuddly Jeremy's version of Labour get a free pass on this?
If you've got good arguments, use them to win people to your cause. Unleashing hate - and there have been too many examples of Labour people saying hateful things (cough *anti-semitism* cough) is not something which a party which, in Thornberry's words, is "better than this" should be doing.

In my view the linked article is spot on. Says a few things that have been said on here as well.
Well it was fun whilst it lasted.

Now if I were making the charging decision it would have been made weeks ago, I suspect the person making the decision has no interest in cricket.
Corbyn becoming PM is 'worse threat to British business than Brexit', says bank
The prospect of Jeremy Corbyn becoming prime minister is a more serious threat to British business than Brexit, the investment bank Morgan Stanley has warned.

Okaaaaay.....
Now there's a surprise!
One of the biggest dangers of an unplanned WTO Brexit is that it leads to a Corbyn Premiership.
Whereas Brexit is a reality, and it's shite.

Some of them get tumescent over the prospect of a WTO Brexit.
Didn't you vote Leave, Robert? Or did I misunderstand and what you really meant was 'leave the country'?
Leaving Hunt last man standing...
Morgan Stanley said "British utility companies, especially water and power companies, were most at risk from a Labour government, but also warned postal services, telecommunications and travel companies could be affected.
Higher taxes and an increase in corporation tax to 26% might damage British financial services, Morgan Stanley warned.
“Spending priorities... shift in favour of low-income households and the public sector and away from outsourcers and defence companies,” the report continued. “Higher low-end wage growth could also impact service-oriented companies with low margins, such as retailers.”
It is certainly plausible that the Labour party could ultimately moderate some of its more radical policy ideas; the alternative could be the most significant political shift in the UK since the end of the 1970s.”

Flying to the other side of the World, 20 hours closer to Australia. With your England kitbag. Some people would suggest there's more to this than they're letting on.
The only way Hunt may get it is if he manages to get into the final two with Rudd selected by the MPs, though hard to see the Brexit hardliners on the backbenchers not wanting one of their own like Boris, JRM, Gove or even a more moderate Leaver like Davis in the final two.

You've gone quiet on your ramping for Boris.

I am no fan of Hunt, but he is a sly and mendacious man with Murdoch backing. Not to be underestimated.
I would disagree with the idea that the fact the Telegraph and Times have dumbed down over the years is a sign of the intellectual vacuity of the right - the Guardian is equally as full of clickbait articles and seems to enjoy stirring the pot. One might argue, despite being two stops short of Dagenham, more radical ideas are being put forward by The Canary.
To suggest that two dead tree press newspapers, with dwindling circulations and hiding behind paywalls online, represent the vanguard of intellectual thought on the right is disingenuous at best.
However I do agree that the Conservatives have become intellectually barren - with neo-liberalism falling out of fashion, Conservatives are retreating into a reactionary response to the culture wars rather than making a case for free markets, lower taxes, less regulation. Meanwhile they become more authoritarian and statist - May is a perfect example of that.
Perhaps it is because neo-liberalism has been on life support since the credit crunch, perhaps it is because we have faced a lost decade of stagnant wages and declining living standards, but few are making the case for capitalism any more, on the left or the right. This despite the fact it delivered the longest, most sustained period of peace and prosperity in our history.
On Brexit any Tory Remainers going to Labour were cancelled out by UKIP and Labour Leavers going to the Tories.
The EU referendum killed his career ever way Win or lose.
Bayliss had the cheek to say that some England players had been a bit brainless. No more so than the selectors, I simmered privately.
I'd better go to bed. Getting angry.
Nite all.
Poorly treated by the selectors.
I dunno Peter...in this anti politic climate Corbyn's politics and tone appeal with or without Brexit.
I tell you one thing I prefer Corbyn's optimistic lefty throwback to the 70's than the nihilism of the blind ideological nationalism that pervades Brexit a million times over......
The UK is not alone in that revolt either, it is a feature of much of western politics at the moment.
Either way I would expect him to have to report to the police station to be charged (with additional bail conditions) or told no charges.
One of the things we forget about Ben Stokes is that he was born overseas, to foreign parents that can tip bail conditions, which theoretically makes him a higher risk of fleeing.
My at distance reading of it is that the police put a low bar on the bail conditions which means they don't expect charges to be brought forward.
I love Prince Harry.
Probably where we diverge though is that in this climate, I would choose the lefty anti capitalist authoritarianism of Corbyn. It's not my choice...I'm a pretty unreconstructed Blairite to be honest, but I have such a bitter loathing of the narrow minded, lowest common denominator nationalist politics that is central to Brexit and Trump.....
If you truly believe that then I'm happy to to be generous and offer you a bet at evens. Let's say £50 and I win if Corbyn is replaced without becoming PM, you win if Corbyn becomes PM. What do you think?
Nice to see a tortured soul find his happiness.

And no, I don't mean Momentum.
No wonder everyone wants to watch royal engagement coverage.
