I keep saying it, that oily **** with the caterpillar on his lip will play for Australia again.
I think Smith definitely will.
As for Warner, not so sure as he seems to have the reputation for being the most obnoxious turd in Australian cricket, which as you can imagine is up against some pretty stiff competition. He also seemed to be the ringleader with Smith probably not strong enough to stand up to him.

Well there's a turn up, Cricket Australia won't be reducing the bans.

Warner is still an oily **** though. That business of walking off after being 'sledged'.........seriously? Are we supposed to believe that his feelings were hurt? After years of oily ****yness you suddenly can't say something harsh to him? He's one of the most monumental wankers in the history of the devotees of the palm.

Would be nice if Warner never played international cricket again. But can't see them ignoring one of the best one day players in the world in a World Cup year. The Aussies care about winning more than anything else in sport.

To be honest, I hope that every spectator that goes to see a game with him involved wears a Sonny Bill Williams mask.

Doesn't Elite Honesty play for the Australian women's team? Ellyse Perry, Alyssa Healy, Elyse Villani, Elite Honesty.

Maybe we have found our new number 3 - well done Jonny, and relieved of glove duties it might have a future...……..

He's seemed the obvious choice for a while, really. Relieve him of the keeping responsibilities and let him concentrate on being a damned good batsman.

I remember reading somewhere that he got the hump over losing the gloves, but you are right its difficult to do both top order and gloves as fatigue sets in. The only one who has done it to a reasonable level of success is Alex Stewart, but then even his average suffered.

Incredible fight back by England in this session. Rashid is bowling the best I've seen for England. Real skill on show here..

England aren't going to lose this match, but it'd do them good to lose it. Their batting in this match has been so careless..so many just gave it away. Against better opposition, with these tactics, they're going to get hammered.

Just my 2 cents.
