I didn't mate no. Played against rocky a few times though and in fairness he didn't really stand out but has gone on to prove himself a top player. Coetzer looked the boy in that academy side I played against if I recall.

When ever I watched that Academy team i could never tell the difference between Stoneman and Karl Turner when either was batting.

Sure he's been on a few tours overseas with the Lions.I reckon i'm being whooshed here
Because hes scoring miles more runs
Hes scored more centuries this season already than in the whole of last year
I though he had only played for the Lions once scoring loads
And that's probably why he's been picked over Stoneman.
Said it before, a very underrated player.

He's played 2 games for the lions
And scored runs
What you on about?
How the fuck has malan been selected?
Off one 20/20 innings
Fuck off bayliss
He hasn't
You made that up
He played his first lions game last month
Malan has done fuck all to warrant a call up
Hasn't scored big for years at all. He's been called up purely by Bayliss after one 20/20 game like Vince n Dawson were
Bayliss really needs to go, it's a disgrace selection to be honest

That's not England call up form ffs? It's average as fuck. 42??? Stoneman averages58 and over 50 last year
He's called up after one 20/20 game because Bayliss likes him
It's absolutely laughable
I love you @johnson

@johnson back to his best.
Eh?
You think he deserves his call up
Bayliss keeps picking players based on "having something about him" and they have all been absolutely shite
It's just unfair
He has never ever seen Stoneman play, which is ridiculous,watches no county cricket, so how does he have a say in selection?
It's so unfair it's untrue
Have an ignore

A bit harsh that imo chunks m8.How do you know it's a Bayliss selection?
Ignored
Can you please tell him that Malan averaged 43 last year and Stoneman 45.
In 2015 he averaged 48 vs Stoneman doesn't make the list (so below 34.36)
He absolutely deserves to be called up. Piss poor from selectors.
Stoneman still scored over a 1000 runs in 2015. Has Malan ever done this?

Don't think so
It's more that Bayliss has a say
Honestly don't think it's right
What does he actually do?
Westley pick is s good one by way but Bayliss has never seen him play
I have no idea.

Nah he ain't.
Best thing for him is to go back to Durham and get fit and fast for the Ashes.
I'd probably say no. To pick him above rocky just seems bizarre.

could be to do with hows he landing his ankle, but hasn't had the venom of his last test match games
I agree. Watching a certain person fume almost makes up for it tho
