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?

Looking worse by the day for Stokes, but pretty sure they'll still take him.
Always said that Duckworth Lewis method was sound.....;-)

Stokes in prison is still more useful than Ballance at the crease.

We could all be sitting here early in 2018, sharing large slices of humble pie and praising the selectors for their foresight, vision and courage for sticking with Balance when all us dilettantes had written him off....

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.

(and it obviously wasn't Ballance in the clip; Stokes at least managed to get forward...)
