I don't think I can support the England test team any more. It's pretty obvious that no-one involved with the running of it gives a single gently caress, so why should anyone else?

They are professional athletes, there's nothing wrong with them being told to keep in shape. Robinson being so unfit he couldn't bowl is embarrassing for everyone. Fat cricketers have a long and storied history but if you're poo poo as well then get in shape.

The worst part of that article is the lions v Australia A game. This was played the same time as the first test if people recall. England picked the lions team 48 hours before the game leaving out a lot of the fringe test players like bairstow and Crawley. The two guys who would actually play tests. Australia rocked up with Khawaja, Neser and Boland And then the English administrators apparently thought "oh yeah we should have done that" The rest is a lot of hindsight stuff. The criticism of not playing Wood for example would be reversed if he got injured through over bowling and the English tactic was clearly to play like India did and keep the bowling unit fresh as Australia bowl Cummins, Hazlewood and Starc into the ground Of course through chance we did enough rotating anyway and India batted for time more effectively. The fat shaming claim to avoid a skin fold test is pretty lol sure. If it's all just Robinson being too loose with his health that's easily fixed by just dropping him with some hard truths and seeing if he sorts himself out But it seems to be a team wide lack of professionalism. It seems like Butler is getting selected because he helps out Root on the field and gives a poo poo off the field. That really should be the bare minimum

A fish rots from the head as they say - it all comes back to Root's lack of leadership and also being a huge fraud wasteman imo. Hard truths.

Stokes is going to be made captain I reckon. He's not playing IPL this year to focus on tests.

Tell them if they don't score runs, he'll treat them like they are homophobes* out drinking in Bristol. That'll sort things out. *allegedly

He's been injured a lot recently. They want captains who stay fit so they don't have to think about vice captains too much.

The Real Ashes actually starts on Thursday which should be fun. Apparently England have had rain ruin their preparation though; so if it ends up in a whitewash then clearly there's a sign from above. Australia are clear favourites but the England women's team is actually somewhat competent and its a series mainly of white ball games so it could be interesting. Annoyingly its not a day/night test though so for the really important game I'll be stuck watching the first hour of the day before going to bed.

The Stars might have a higher innings than the English did all Summer. Edit: Forgot England got two scores in the 290's. I was thinking of their 274.
