f***ing hell man. He's one of the minority who did well in this test.

The two points aren't connected though. Regardless of how he did here, he still shouldn't have been picked in the squad let alone the side. Collingwood outperformed him in county cricket in 2017, by a country mile, which was what I was getting at.

Vince is a weird one.

He should not have been picked and to put him in at 3 is a joke but at times he looks quality.
Clearly a talented player and I can see why the selectors want him there but until he cuts out the same stupid mistakes I can't see him getting big scores

It had been said that while they were all there in Perth that Wood was with the England party, presumably bowling in the net or whatever. Do you know if he stayed or returned?

If your on about Vince your point isn't connected he played in a higher division to colly

There were a few who made OK scores here and there that still arent up to it.

He's scored one half-century - looking good in the first two tests then getting out cheaply while in the 20s/30s did us no good. That said, I have sympathy for him. It's a shambles that we've come into an Ashes tour and still can't stop chopping and changing those batting at 2 and 3.

No idea at all.

I'm only going off twitter, Jennings tweeted something this morning about being pleased to be home after 37 hours of travelling and I saw Duckett post something before they all left about being home for Christmas

Yep :lol:

So unless some have stuck around with the main squad, we're stuck with the original squad now
 
Rooy saying they haven't been hammered, what series has he been playing in?

Did anyone hear Kim Hughes' ripping the coaches apart this morning on Alan Brazil?

You're trivialising "innocent until proven guilty".

If you have that opinion, fine. But at least have the bollocks to stand behind it.

Might as well open with Bairstow and Malan, only two who look capable of a partnership

I'd wondered about that. An ODI opener not even in the top 6 for tests (until Perth)? Ate they really that much different?

I am not at all. I’m stating there is a difference between being suspended on full pay and being guilty of a crime
