Can't believe they'd show porn in the middle of the day on tv!

Hahahaha good as.

I don't know why England don't just play Bopara and then actually use him as an all-rounder

Because as a batsman he's not good enough to make the side. And in the last 7 ODIs he's bowled about 7 overs all up. The introduction of Ali as an All Rounder has hurt him.

In saying that, he wouldn't be worse than the lot currently there. England have to change it up for the Scotland match.
Finn out, Jordan/Tredwell in. Ballance out, Hales in. Wouldn't go as far as dropping Ali, Bell or Taylor yet. Morgan, Broad and Anderson have to stay. And Woakes and Root are the only two trying so they stay.

So they need to go in next match:
Ali
Bell
Hales
Root
Morgan
Taylor
Buttler
Woakes
Broad
Jordan/Tredwell
Anderson

And pray they don't flower it up.

Ballance out, Hales in.

??? what have you done with the real PB?

Just annoyed that's all. Two very soft dismissals from him, not up to standard, probably nervous. Best to take him out of the side so he can focus on the 1000 runs he'll score in the Ashes in July :)

Alternatively, they can try this:
Ali
Bell
Hales/Ballance
Root
Morgan
Taylor
Buttler
Bopara
Woakes
Broad
Anderson

Root is the 6th bowler, Bopara bats where he belongs, and his bowling can be used this time.

Think everyone is forgetting apart from the Poms not being very good the Kiwis are the form team , watch out we have to play them next and it looks like we won't be playing any cricket till then and we are taking Clarke with no form and Watson who has been rubbish for some time now into that game it looks , not confident  :'(

So iv been looking forward to spending the month watching cricket, cricket and more cricket.

So far other then the Aus game I went too I havent been able to watch any as the sunday games i was in melbourne for then on a plane home, then all the games during the week i have been at work for except for Wednesday night which I was busy for and then today is pretty much finished when i get home and now tomorrow is probably washed out.

Give me some cricket damnit!!!

Well if they actually bowled him then he would be more useful

Yeah well, they don't bowl him because obviously they don't rate his bowling... Still, he has to come in to the side next match. Experience ahs to count for something.
