Cricket

Alex Hales retires from international cricket. I thought there might be a role for him in the world cup so its a shame not to get to watch him in an England shirt.

I love Eoin Morgan and his leadership but always felt his treatment of Hales was harsh, glad he got some redemption and a winners medal at the T20 WC

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 😂

Less rumor, mind

He did blackface and named his dog in line with racist connotations
