Really happy for Craig Overton. Been brilliant and has genuine pace. Fucking ridiculous that Leach has been overlooked again.

I'm actually fucking livid over Leach's omission. It pretty much sums up the arrogance and tunnel vision of the selectors. I think Crane is an exciting talent and I reckon he'll become a fine bowler but there is no spinner in the English game who can match Leach's numbers or form. It's a huge fuck you to county cricket and will be counter productive for England in the future. It's such a ludicrous call that I'm convinced the selectors are now just trolling me.
Absolutely ridiculous.

England's Dawid Malan absolutely bamboozled by Dom Bess.

I don't disagree, but I'd like to see Leach and Bess' figures away from Taunton where pitches aren't prepared for them. I still think it's a year too early for Crane and if he gets spanked to all parts of Oz (and he will) it may well set him back a few years. As for Vince, he's been part of our worst batting line up for years. Jobs for the boys.

He's a bit stupid, isn't he?

On a different note, it'll actually be quite impressive if Notts manage to mess up promotion.

Read and Root. Far too close for comfort but two fantastic innings given the situation. *should* be done and dusted now especially as Sussex have nothing to gain.

Leach has 16 at 33. I'll dig out Dom's later if I can.

Wonder if this wasn't the Ashes then Stokes might have not been picked..?

Just till this all dies down and the police investigation ends..

Anyone seen that video of what is believed to be Stokes' 'incident'?

Looks like him and Hales and have to say, he will be a lucky boy to avoid jail time.

It's done. We've saved ourselves.
What a wonderful man Jack Leach is.

I'm very happy Hodgester and I am showing my joy through the medium of gif.

In other news no points deduction for the pitch, no to relax and for Hampshire to scrap it out. Perfect time for Vince to put a shift in to justify his selection....

David Warner literally punched Joe Root (unprovoked) and didn't miss the Ashes - why all the furore over this? Only publicly available video shows the 'victim' trying to bottle someone too (at Hales it looks like)

I was of the opinion that Stokes shouldn't have gone to the Ashes prior to this ECB announcement. The bloke has let himself down and he has to be accountable for that. I've no issue with players having a few drinks, but Ben Stokes is vice captain and that comes with a certain set of pressures and responsibilities.

Aside from the fact he will likely miss the first test with his fractured finger, as well as being one demerit point off a one-test suspension - with all the Aussies queuing up to rile up - it's not really worth the time and effort to take him.

Why do I have a bad feeling about the ECB inspection of the Taunton pitch today? By their own rules the pitch rating is based on how it plays in the game not how it looks, so how can you inspect it the day after the match finishes?

Ben Stokes could punch my mum and I'd still want him playing in the next Test

I'm starting to get worried now. Decision delayed to Monday. ECB, Strauss and that gobby c*** Fraser trying to cook something up over the weekend I reckon.
