Incredible stuff bois

Ya only got fuckin’ bots in the comments bois
How about a tri series of test matches? India v England v Australia.
BUTCH!! 😃 Blindin'…🇬🇧
10 minutes Andre Big basket 10 minutes Andre Big basket
Ollie Pope averages 15 vs Australia and 11 in Australia. PLEASE play him.
Love this bloke
The Ipl used to be far more viewed in the uk than it is now….Less is more. Long live test cricket.
Never going to happen now but the powers that be really missed out on a Pakistan vs India test series in England or Australia. Yes India would likely trounce Pakistan but the exposure for test cricket would’ve been great
Mark butcher is one of the delusional guys in cricket . He rates bang average batters like jamie smith ,brook and bethell who can't play half decent spin to save their lives like they are sachin,lara and ABD
India nearly beat England twice in England. Lost the first series and drew the second
If drawing an ashes series at home is what the english consider success, i’m more than happy to let them keep playing bazball lol
There is no swing no bounce no great bowlers in English side 😔sorry
I agree that England’s batting looks very good.
But the bowling on other hand looks very weak and samey.
Anderson & Broad to Atkinson & Potts is a hell of a step down. The fitness of Woakes is going to be crucial.
Great cricketing talks, enjoyed it. Never fail to get disappointment to be labelled as 'communist' just because.
Nice to see Mark boucher speak with Nathan Lyon
Butch is bloody brilliant!!
Please ask your next guest their opinion on the team morale of rcb and how it is elevated by 10 min andre big basket 10 min andre big basket
Personally i'd like to see Pope tried as Duckett's opening partner as Crawley still fails to post serious numbers and Bethell in the team means you don't need a spiinner in England and maybe not Australia apart from Sydney.
Pope, Duckett, Bethell, Root, Brook, Stokes, Smith, Woakes, Carse then 2 horses for courses selections from Mahmood, Atkinson, Tongue, Stone & Potts – with Wood & Archer hopefully available for the Ashes. That's batting depth to cope with Pope's feast or famine contributions. Can't see Woakes in Australia but if Archer & Wood can both play 2 tests and the others are fit then we have a decent line up. Carse, Mahmood, Atkinson & Tongue are all in the 140kph zone and Archer, Wood & Stone all go closer to 145. The question is whether England can start to play the game in front of them rather than the game they had in their heads before it started.
