shades of the Wagner group.Maybe they'll start recruiting from prisons next

Can't help thinking it's a bit irrelevant. Imagine it's the Hundred teams with IPL ownership that are going to thrive financially as they've got access to big name Indian players - who in turn will bring in supporters from the indian community in decent numbers.

It's just all a mess. Too many Test players aren't getting enough redball domestic cricket - either due to "workload" management or white ball cricket (IPL, Hundred etc). Overton was a good example in 5th Test vs India - hardly played redball cricket for 2 years. If they'd manage Bethell better...

yet still holds the white ball captaincy. Such a special talent but by all accounts not the brightest on or off the field.

Even more so knowing it cost them the India series - wasn't it something like 9 drops in the 5th test vs India? Seems to be an attitude of "fuck the proven basics" (catching, bowling lines & length etc) just concentrate on the frilly bits. Let's also be clear it wasn't a top Indian side they...

Problem is the pool of players who might be Test quality is too small. Aren't many batsmen knocking on the door. Bowling attack won't change much - not much depth past thequicks they took to Australia. Spinners will remain an unknown quantity as they just won't get the overs to develop / show...

Great knock from Bethell. Some idiotic stuff from others as per usual. Don't get how some of these batsmen couldn't look at how Bethell was batting (with success) and copy his approach.

I'd take him on a 6 month with a promotion bonus. He's a goalscorer when fit - definitely at this level

Absolute joke. Cost them the last Test (and so the series) against India. Cost them the Adelaide Test - should have been 2-2 coming into this game. Got to have the foundations/basics right before embarking on the Bazball philosophy.

Don't think he's the type of character to walk away from a sinking ship. Plus next year's overseas tour is South Africa which isn't an arduous one. If he gets runs in the summer he'll still have an eye on Tendulkar's record.

Pathetic. Dropped catches a recurring theme going back through the summer. Surely one of the easier things to rectify. Potts looks like a bowler short on cricket. But surely they should have had him in the nets early working on his line.

Estimated Trump family businesses have "raked" in over $4.5 billion of investment etc from foreign govts/businesses since he retook office. eg UAE invested over $2bn in Trump crypto business.

Put out a reserve side. Rest players. Get knocked out. Hope other promotion rivals have nice long cup runs to wear out their players.

Bowlers just aren't good enough. Beginning to think when they do hit a "hot" patch it's more luck than judgement. Absolutely no point bowling fast if you don't have any semblance of control. If they had the ability then they'd be able to adjust line/length during an innings. These don't. One of...

Hasn't looked comfortable since he came in. Doesn't seem to handle pressure well.

Only thing we have of interest to him would be North Sea oil & gas. Not sure there's enough there to make him interested.

Chinese been doing it for years in South China sea already. Claiming other nations sea rights and access to the oil/minerals etc in them. It is only a matter of time before they make a move on Taiwan.

Aussie bowling also well below what it has been. Feeding runs with some poor line & length (must have been watching us in the first 3 Tests)

Never about drugs. Even DEA have admitted very little goes via Venezuela. We'll find out at some stage what exactly the ulterior motive was for this particular pardon -certainly not the bs spouted to the wider world

it's a multi-faceted self-serving assault. 1. Enrich cronies (much like his original ukraine peace plan). 2. Will declare Venezuela safe - so can deport around 700000 venezuelans illegally living in US. Probably also set it out as a safe 3rd country for other latin/south American illegal...
