Ashes 2013/14

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking hell this tour keeps lurching from bad to worse. Our batsmen are a complete and utter shambles and it's totally unacceptable. I'm starting to worry about Root now as well, he's becoming a make one contribution a series and then fuck all else. We may still win this game but the batting is embarrassing. Some players and Gooch must go.

Oh Cook you need to have aggressive fields tomorrow. Also since Lyon bowled us out it might be an idea to get Monty on with me round the bat.

I agree with Boycott, they better not think it'll be all ok when they get back to England. The batting has been fucking atrocious for too long. What a bloody 30th birthday present waking up to this!

Many happy returns. Hope you have a nice day.

I think it may have got to the stage where some of us could actually do better!!

Will you get a flight that arrives in time Paul?

Happy birthday, hope we manage to deliver you three points later!

I quite like the idea of a H+V slip cordon

You first, me second. Who is our third slip? And who is stupid enough to go in at forward short leg?

I should add that I can bowl a bit, always got a bit of swing and can't bat to save my life so I'll be in good company!

I think Paul has already stated his desire to be bat-pad for the spinner, so I don't think it would be fair for him to have to field in the slips for the seamers aswell. I think he can retire to fine leg when Anderson/Broad are on.

I'd go for OzVilla as 3rd slipper. Safe pair of hands.

Forward short leg? Eastie strikes me as brave enough to do that job.

I was a demon at gully (kings norton and district U11 champions, 1977). I'll have a go. Don't think the fact that I couldn't bat and that my ferocious bowling "lacks control" and "verges on dangerous" should be seen as grounds to exclude me from this side.

I was in the side when my school West Heath won that in 1978!

Do you really want to be fielding around the bat pwa

You're at forward short leg for Broad and Anderson Eastie.

I've got you down at no 7 in the batting order aswell. You've got licence to attack Mitchell.
