The Ashes

[Tom Joad 25]

I've nothing against Jacob Bethel, and this may come back to bite me on the arse, but how do they think the answer to a failing number three is to bring in a kid who averages 28 in FC cricket with no hundreds to his name. Penny for the thoughts of the lads who've piled on runs in the CC last couple of summers having to watch this unfold. No wonder we're losing so many to the franchise circuit is it?

No issues with Archer being allowed to recover, he's more than justified his selection.

Not to mention the McCullum mantra Play without pressure. Here you go Jacob, I know you barely played a game all year but can you just step in at no.3 in front of 90000 people....
