Never brought any of the hype.

His averages in limited overs are manufactured by the fact that he bats for his average and not for his team.

In tests he is very mediocre outside of the sub continent.

Compared to the rest of his team he is batman like.
Both these teams the strength is in the bowling which will at least make for an interesting series.

Hope you're wrong but very much doubt it to be honest. This is too serious to be overlooked

Hard to see how he isn't going down.
Any sentence at all and surely he is done.

Even if he avoids time and is seen to be a drunken homophobe, there is no way the ECB would touch him.

A frankly amazing loss from Lancashire.
Last over was 0-3 I think.
Only needed one one from the last five balls and blew it.
Whitehead the leggy looks a prospect.

The guy dropping to his knees and trying to flip it over his head was utterly ridiculous.
How can that be the right option when all you need is a run a ball.
