  • selfish? wow, england fans are fucked in the head.*

    why would you not allow one of your best players ever the chance to have a farewell test on home soil, in a dead rubber? so one grom can have a free hit against an attack that doesn't give a fuck?

    *not necessarily your view, i know, but read this shit on the guardian btl, as well

  • england fans are fucked in the head

    Well, I'm sure they are, and, having sat near the Barmy Army on occasion, fortunately I'm not one of them. I'll be there on Friday as a neutral and will be happy if I see one of the legends (which he will be, down the line) batting in his final game. However, if I were an England selector, I'd be thinking about putting aside sentiment and considering who's going to open in Sri Lanka. England have gone this whole series without a clue as how to open the batting, and now have one opportunity to blood a new partnership.

  • Cricket is full of that kind of sentiment, though, and it’s a nice part of the game (eg waiting half an hour to deflate so someone can get their century).
