Old Red Fart
Vital Champions League
No not a fire, this matters, it's cricket. And it's important.
Some of you might be interested enough to want to swap news and views on the upcoming series. If so I'd love to hear.
From the point of view of an Oz supporter it's much like this. The Aussie side is in a bit of a state of flux mainly regarding our middle order, it's still not fixed. And after getting stuffed in India it seems as though we can't handle slow crafty bowling. None too sure about fast bowling either. It looks as though we'll be depending on fast bowling and hard pitches for our attack.
Our papers seem to think that without Stokes you're going to lose. I don't believe that. He must be the total idiot, on top of his Bristol fiasco he's getting much more rotten publicity from the video of his mimicking that disabled child, doesn't sit well with an Aussie public. All the papers are giving him hell for that. And we're all agreed.
The only thing being said in his favour is that he is a match winner, no doubt about that. The other point made about him is that if he was an Aussie he would be thrown out of the Ashes completely and probably worse. At the moment all we read here is that he won't be travelling with the team. Feeble stuff.
