Crash Hamster Sep 2017 9:31pm, 27 Sep 2017 950 posts	Quote Pin Crash Hamster That was brilliantly paced. Moeen can do no wrong at the moment. Who is going to be reserve opener in that Test squad? Also, bearing in mind how frequently England are 45-3, how is bringing Ballancenought in at number 5 going to help?

Crash Hamster Sep 2017 9:42am, 28 Sep 2017 951 posts	Quote Pin Crash Hamster Yay, Pears are going up. Boo, Bears are going down... From the clip on The Sun website, it looks as if one of the blokes who gets hit was initially wielding a bottle. By the utter lack of coordination in some of the punches, I guess everyone had partaken in drink (shocking lack of timing for a professional sportsman at times... though that pounch, shot, son!) Whether the law views it kindly or not, I have little sympathy for anyone whose group thinks using a bottle as a weapon is acceptable, nor anyone who is a willing participant in such trouble who then squawks to the police when they lose.
