A few grumpy gits and their friends. Don't agree with each other, unlikely to agree with you. Also on bsky.

As I said elsewhere, it's good old cricket class elitism in action: one of the few state educated England cricketers is an uneducated thug and not the right sort of chap to captain England. We've been here before.

Our apologies to Rupert (well very little in fact). It was a posh rugger guy called Harry Latham-Coyle who wrote the article.
Same criticism stands. Calling someone uneducated when he clearly isn’t, is just classist drivel..
Jun 11
He didn’t write the article. The article is from an Independent journalist and is actually very balanced. Rupert is just retweeting the article and has made himself look like a dickhead in the process.

A man called Rupert decides his first (and probably last ever) cricket article decides to call Ben Stokes uneducated.
Stokes is far from uneducated, a lack of judgement maybe, but not uneducated. Perhaps this author might want to do some research beforehand 🤷🏻♂️

Stokes is an uneducated thug. He should never ever have been made captain of the England cricket team. He can hardly string two words together..!

I can just imagine the conversation with Richard Gould:
“Hi Joe, as the only vaguely sober person in the England set up over the last 12 months, management included. I don’t suppose you could help us out and take on the captaincy again dear chap?”
So they’ve dragged poor Joe Root out of Test captaincy retirement. Feel sorry for Root and the circus keeps going on unabated..

Cherrington as Test captain will be hilarious and likely very short..

It's a good thing that Rob Key has repeatedly rejected the notion that the men's England team has a drinking problem, otherwise this might be seen as some kind of pattern...

We’d love to ask .@BumbleCricket whether he’d be advocating more Tests at Lancashire when he’s actively campaigning to get the whole board removed.
Sadly we’re blocked because we’ve asked a couple of difficult questions to him previously..
Yep but not at Old Trafford, pitch and outfield is even worse than Lords. Edgbaston, Oval, Headingley & Trent Bridge for the main Test games. Taunton, Cardiff & Hampshire for smaller Test tours.
Btw Bumble has blocked us so can’t respond directly..

And that's before you consider any other reasons why Lord's maybe shouldn't host as many (if any) England matches... beingoutsidecricket.com/2023…

A certain James Anderson would’ve been pretty handy on this pitch #ENGvNZ

England's 10th wicket stand was their second-highest partnership in the innings, and number 11 Shoaib Bashir was the third-highest individual scorer.
Embarassing.

As @OutsideCricket argue, this should happen for reasons that have nothing to do with the pitch.
This pitch is a disgrace by the way. One bounces at sticker height. The other barely gets off the deck. Take matches away from Lord’s!

Seriously, can we replace Middlesex with the top rated Southern minor counties team? #VitalityBlast

Putting a #T20Blast game between Surrey & Middx live on TV is the equivalent of showing a grown man clubbing a seal pup to death live 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.

And then they do that 😂. Egg on my face massively.
What a chase and innings from both Capsey & Knight. Best performance I’ve seen under Lottie. Congratulations England 👏🏻👏🏻.
Really don’t think this England team has progressed at all under Lottie sadly.
Mostly the same players, very much the same issues. I’d be shocked if they’re in contention to win the upcoming World Cup..
