England cricket team

Couple of props.

One to the Chiefs, one to England.

Couple of locks.

In Isaiah Waka-Liaweri, he's gone to Italy.

You can't.

No way.

I mean, Jesse Ryder did a pretty decent job at it when he was playing test match cricket back in the day, and then obviously the Baz Ball iteration of England cricket.

Well, Harry Brooke scored like 300-odd against Pakistan on an absolute road about 12 months ago now.

get the Woody? Do you remember Woody when he was talking absolute drivel?

I had the England doc, Rob Young, with me, but I don't think he took any videos of me talking any drivel.

So I think, yeah, the Woody ones are hilarious, aren't they? Yeah.

But yeah, it's been, I'm trying to sort of see all the silver linings of it.

good job on it then.

Yeah, it's a good job on it.

Four months? January time, I think there's some England games in South Africa that they might come a bit too soon, but SA20 is probably a goal that's in the back of my mind, but it's never straightforward or linear, is it? You'll probably have some really good weeks, might have a week where it sort of pushes you back, but definitely don't want to rush it.

There's so much cricket ahead next year and obviously a few more years, hopefully, left of my career.

And the question will be, if he can't do it here with the number of test matches that he's played, what is going to change when he's faced with this kind of situation again? He might average you 45 against New Zealand or 50, and of course, those matches matter.

But what this team is looking for is to take that next step to greatness with away wins against teams like South Africa, India, and England.

he might bosh a couple of state teams around and do it better than everybody else but he's going to be there at headingly at number three and the questions will still remain of whether he can do it so i do think it's last chance for saloon for minus and i think the matter is mental i would back him though i would be giving him every item of backing i think he has improved his technique i think he's gone away he's worked on a few biomechanical issues He looks a little bit better.

It's between the years.

Um, and I think it could be a massive reset and they'll put themselves right behind the eight ball in the world test championship, uh, final stakes, uh, certainly in the table.

If they do lose this game, they need to win a lot of games of cricket in a short amount of time against India and New Zealand to make that final, which they'd be desperate to do as a group, as a farewell lap.

Um, but before the ashes in England, of course.

So, I mean, what do you think, what do you think repercussions might be?
