You would have thought after sandpapergate the Aussies would have taken a look at themselves and tried to change their team culture for the better. Scumbags. The Liverpool FC of international cricket.
Isn't that word a term of endearment in Australia?

Like Simon Jones, it’s a shame he never got to play more for England, top top bowler.

Moeen Ali likely to miss both tests in Sri Lanka.

He should be playing for England, seeing as he was born in South Africa lol

Just seen the latest story about Steve Smith’s crease-marking antics caught on the stump camera. I see even Langer’s trying to defend it now. So Smith’s been innocently doing this for years? Funny how it’s never been noticed before then. Absolute bollocks.
What with this and Paine’s antics, what’s left of Australia’s reputation is being trashed here.

Does the Sri Lanka start tonight (well, early hours)?
4am apparently. Not sure what the team will be, but good to see Lawrence get a chance. Meant to be highly thought of and one I'd have an eye on for the Ashes.
Shame about Moeen missing the tests, a lot of pressure on Bess/Leach now.
Yeah, shame about Burns not being there but gives another chance to some good young bats
Don't need to see Bairstow, but suspect they'll be giving him a chance cos he's over there. More Ollie Pope won't go amiss when he's back
I'll be honest mate, I said a while ago, Bairstow would be in my team. I'm not convinced on Burns, or Sibley. Sibley has a lot to prove this tour for me.
I've always like Bairstow but he's finished as a Test cricketer. Just needs to go and play ODI/Limited overs stuff full-time, he's tweaked his game far too much in that direction
I was wondering why he had been recalled but now I get it. I didn't realise they were without Burns Pope & Stokes. To be fair, Bairstow is probably somewhere round about there in the pecking order.
Anyway, going pretty well so far, just need the last one to wrap this up for hopefully under 150.
