Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Not bad if you ask me by why ain't Jim and Mr K the fearsome twosome on there.:D

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

yes not bad line up Den

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

But will they be on a sofa, in a studio in London, with a couple of token roving reporters at the the match? With the main commentary coming from the annoying Channel 9 Aussies? If so, they're doing it on the cheap. Irrelevant to me anyway, the sound will be muted, and Radio 4's TMS on.

(if they ask me Den, I am available for selection or commentary, just don't tell Mrs K ;) )

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Yes there should be some interesting matches there.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Oh dear this Women's Ashes lark isn't going very well, hopefully the rain might save them today, every HD drop of it looking good on BT Sport ;)

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Yes we have nearly 300 runs to get Mr K so it does not look good.

Well that's some good news for us as he's a total 'has been'/liability.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Well eyes down for a long tour from tomorrow night !

I fear the worst, but hope for the best. If the blokes can show any of the spirit the ladies did in their fantastic win today, we might have a chance....

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

You certainly do not sound very optimistic Mr K as you never know as miracles do happen despite the bookies odds.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

tbh Den, thought I was being optimistic :D

Aussies haven't lost in Brisbane sine 1988....

Rain would be handy, and that might be our best hope !

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

gonna miss Stokes very much fear worst here too

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Day 3 First Test and I'm struggling ! England are doing ok, but will my marriage and job survive ? :D Sleep, oh for some sleep.... Still got to be done !

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Head up Mr K as its only the first test so far.;)

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

We can still get out this one Den ! Aussies needs 50 runs, we need 10 wickets.
I have every faith ( in a Brisbane thunderstorm ;) )

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Sadly your faith was misplaced Mr K.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Well we won the headbutting competition so that's the main thing Den ! :D

we sure need Stokes

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

All too late now as the horse has already bolted IMO..

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

What? We've called up Henry VIII ? Desperate, but worth a go I guess..... ;)

Stokes is off to NZ, still only a stone's throw away though, and he hasn't been proved guilty of anything. His twin brother is as guilty as hell !

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Thank God for the day/night Tests. Midnight to 7am was a killer; 3:30am start is much more civilised :) It's a must win or the Ashes are gone, be be very happy if we play dirty and underhand, they've got a short fuse the Aussies.....

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Yes l quite agree as the start here is definitely more suitable.

Sorry Mr K but the die was cast before this series ever started.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

that's why we need to stop playing cricket and start playing dirty Den, skittle their captain and they are a very ordinary team (Douglas Jardine is my hero ;) )

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

l agree Australia are a poor team but in their own country its still a very tough task to win a series down under.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Are you sitting comfortably Mr K in your opulent surroundings this morning as the news is not good my old boy.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

And sadly what you fear has come true in spades Mr K.

---------- Post added at 05:16 ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 ----------

Poor selections , poor decisions and led by a captain who does not seem to have a clue and that is just for starters.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Yes 'we'll have a a bowl' - well done the boy wonder...

Who else would you have selected Den? We don't have anybody.... The selectors have my number, wonder if the phones working? I blame VM ....

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

l certainly would not have selected 3 unproven batsman for this tour Mr K and that is just for starters.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

think it gonna be a whitewash sadly :(

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Well the way it looks it looks like a complete copy of the last time we went to Australia so it seems we have learnt nothing in-between sadly

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Will some cricketers ever get the message that they are professional cricketers.:(

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Mmmmm, but if you keep them locked up in their hotel for weeks and then let them out for a night... They need to treat them as adults if they want adult behaviour.

Second team young cricketer anyway who wouldn't have got into the Test side. Nobody else involved so presumably he's clobbered a team mate/given the captain 360 degree feedback ! Look out for black eyes in the Third test...

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

l thought they were being treated like adults?.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Adults don't get curfews Den, this isn't the a World War, seems being locked up together has caused the aggro !

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

If one is a true professional then one should be tucked up in bed at a reasonable time in preparation for the next days action so l have no problem with having certain boundaries..

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

So you'd have restrictive boundaries like no punching the captain, or headbutting the opposition :D

Botham, Lamb, Gower were famous for their all night nightclub benders, then going on to play and beat the Aussies next day. Guess the current saps aren't made of such stuff and must be tucked up at 8pm with Teddy.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

l see you are as troublesome and mischievous as usual Mr K.;)

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

You were saying Mr K?.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

At this rate the selectors and the team they picked could not even organise a half decent piss up in a brewery.:(:td:

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Well sadly if your preparation is non existent before this tour then basically all you are prepared for is to fail Dave and that is exactly what has transpired very sadly.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Time for Broad and Cook to hang up their boots, they were great but aren't any longer. Also drop Ali for the time being as he's out of form. Pick some of the young guys. We'll still get beat, but that's not the point now, get them prepared for next time.

---------- Post added at 14:42 ---------- Previous post was at 14:40 ----------

Still think that (bar Smith) they are ordinary, just strong at home like us. However we are even more 'ordinary' atm.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Personally the selectors have a lot to answer for as leaving out your best player when if you go back 30 years Beefy and Daffy made Stokes antics seem like a tea party so that was not a good starting point and then picking bowlers who would not be suited to Down Under conditions was another mistake and then there was the near zero preparations which was basically shambolic in the extreme and sadly l could go on and on Mr K but l am sure you have a analysis of why we failed dismally.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

Looks like rain might save the Aussies; not that they care much now anyway..

Enjoying the 'big bash'. Not a massive fan of 20/20 but the Aussies seem to do it best. If only there was an option to mute sound every time KP opens his mouth. Every day and in every way he becomes more of a self obsessed ******.....

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

At least we should avoid the predicted 5-0 whitewash.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017
 

There are a few like that Mr K in the world of sport.
