Anyone see the video of Duckett? Harmless, not causing any trouble, but how are the optics? It was after the Brisbane Test and they are down 2-0, and he’s out getting plastered. That and Stokes saying they are here to enjoy being in Australia like they are on a Contiki Tour, they’ve just been taking the piss.

Optics aren’t great, nothing to it really but when you lose people will throw everything at it - something us fans know all too well unfortunately.

Archer their best with 9 wickets. He has been a disaster. Soft mentally, never fit long enough to last the season, and never seems to understand the important moments in a game.
Bethall is their next big thing so interested to see where he bats and who they have at 3, they need the best at 3/4, should be Root at 3 & Stokes at 4.
They should probably play Bashir and if they don’t in Sydney then they are fair dinkum kidding themselves.

I’m opening with Uzy.
Yeah it’s Green for go for me too I think. It’s a bit rough, he saved us on the road but he has been terrible at home.
Is Richo ready? He got 5 wickets, 4 in the first innings in the lions game but what if it’s hot and he has to bowl all day, will he be a passenger in the 2nd innings, Doggs or Ness won’t be.
Starcy only needs 25 more wickets to beat Lakers record. Go Starcy!!

I’m keen to see Bethall. They had to something with their batting. Pope had go.

Pope is no number 3. I think they erred not having Root at 3 for this series, although he’s been average out here in the past, he’s their best bat.
But yeah keen to see Bethall make about 20 maybe, depending on the score. I’m not that interested in watching him for too long. 😎
