I got the impression there was more went on that we didn’t know about with Hales. He was too good a batsman to make an example of in that way.
Rumour in cricket circles that he's an absolute wrong un, which unfortunately sometimes stops people from being picked. Always a tough one to manage when someone is a bit of a knob, some teams will keep selecting, others put culture first. Hales would have played a lot more international cricket if he was Australian for example.
I would trust Morgan’s judgement as well, as he’s probably one the best sport’s captains I’ve seen.
Indeed, but when there's talent on offer I always think of how it could be best accommodated. I always thought the sacking of Kevin Peterson was harsh, and that they had been waiting for an incident to move him on despite him having a couple of thousand runs still in the tank, what he did was moronic but he wouldn't be the first player to slag off a team mate to a friend in another shed, Strauss is a muppet anyway. Should have been more work done to reconcile and do what's best, even if it meant putting KP in his own changing room
Yeah that's just the public stuff n all.Less rumor, mind
He did blackface and named his dog in line with racist connotations
