My main point is that Curran shouldn't be dropped, based on performance. He's been dropped to shoehorn Stokes in, which I think is just wrong, naughty boy or not. I know he can be good but I don't think he's so good so often that he can't be left out. You're right in that Stokes doesn't replace Pope, foolish suggestion on my part.
That is a good standard then. The pyramid system didn't exist when I played, I was nowhere near that standard but played in Humber Don, which was the top league in Hull area at the time.
Curran is still young and hungry,his time will come again. Surprised Stokes got off to be honest after seeing the vid,probably had good solicitors but a top notch all round cricketer non the less.
He was correctly found not guilty because what he did wasn't affray, it should never have gone to court.
Root is Stokes mate, that's half of it. Curran shouldn't have been dropped. I am having family issues because of this as a certain family member won't watch any match in the future that features Hales or Stokes as she thinks cricket is a gentlemans game and shouldn't for those who go round kicking peoples heads in whilst pissed up at 3 am
I think its a case of if your face fits, if that had been Kevin Pietersen they'd have hit him with everything
short for Doncaster!!! So it ventured into South Yorkshire. Actually prior to the miners strike, we played most of games in South Yorkshire, but the a lot of their teams folded. As an opening bat. it became easier because they always had a serious quickie from down the pit.
I was gutted re what happened to Pieterson. In 40 odd years of watching cricket, I don't think I have seen an 'English' batsman play at that level. What happened to him deprived me of probably 10 years of him at his best
He's got red hair ffs. He clearly has anger issues. But If he wasn't so 'handy', we wouldn't be taking about it. And remember his mate was getting attacked by a bottle.
Really odd. You had to apply for that league and was really stringent. I think Hull teams wanted something more challenging, so Fenners and BR North who were the best local teams joined it.
I would have put Stokes in for Buttler. Bairstow 5, Stokes 6, Woakes 7, Curran 8, Rashid 9, is a very decent middle/lower order and it would give us an extra option whilst bowling.
Ok. We need find batsmen. Buttler was gonna be the next. TBF no one else is challenging so I have no problem at all with Josh Buttler
So it wasn't "an instance of group fighting in a public place that disturbs the peace". So how come over 20 City fans ended up in prison after the Huddersfield game? Not the Huddersfield fans of course.
