Look Closer

This is all happening too quickly, Giles won't be getting the job at this rate and we'll end up with Peter Moores again. A man who, after a close defeat to New Zealand in a random ODI got all the players to go straight back outside and do a full training session on the pitch to show them how "up for it" they were, because he'd read it in Michael Jordan's autobiography or something. The New Zealand players were sat on the balcony with a beer laughing their tits off.

I heard Fleming was being considered, and since he probably won't be doing anything this year...

The question for me now is who's embarrassed themselves more, England or Australia? England have been despicably bad and are arguably at a generational nadir but Australia were considered one of the favourites to win the tournament and were bundled out at the absolute earliest possible opportunity.
I think we may have gone better if CA picked a BBL dream team and sent that to the tournament instead of useless twats like Watson.

There was probably a clause saying countries had to pick their most well known/marketable players or something.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
So of the three players who came out of the Ashes looking anywhere near good: you have a guy who's been permanently dropped from the England team; a man who's apparently not even been looked at since the end of the SCG test, and you have a man who's just captained England through an embarrassing loss to the Dutch in an ICC competition.

Fabulous...

Also on the Carberry's mum stuff. It should be noted that South African Cricket Association flew JP Duminy's mum to Aus to watch him play in his debut series. I am not entirely sure if it was for his 2nd or 3rd test.
