It's The Ashes (again)

[SuperBob2002]

Jimmy shouldn't be selected. There's no room for sentiment in sport. But I fear he'll get a place just because it's OT.

Anelka's team is pretty much what I'd go with but Tongue replacing Anderson and Crawley replaced with Bairstow. But I think he's nailed it in terms of what England will go with.

There is no room for sentiment in sport...........posted on a forum about a club that has won fuck all in most of our lifetimes that the only reason we give a shit is sentiment.


Sport is all about sentiment otherwise everyone would support Man City

In that case we may as well select Boycott, Freddie Flintoff and Botham!

In defense of Josh here, he clearly means no room for sentiment in sport in the professional setting of picking a team etc.

Fans are the ones that need to have the sentiment.

Yep. That's exactly what I mean. Love Jimmy and he's arguably the greatest bowler we've ever produced, but if he's reached a point where he's ineffective then we need to be ruthless and brutal. 

Get Rushworth into the team! He's just taken two wickets for the Bears this morning (this is of course me talking bollocks and a tongue in cheek comment).
