Will some cricketers ever get the message that they are professional cricketers.

Mmmmm, but if you keep them locked up in their hotel for weeks and then let them out for a night... They need to treat them as adults if they want adult behaviour.

Second team young cricketer anyway who wouldn't have got into the Test side. Nobody else involved so presumably he's clobbered a team mate/given the captain 360 degree feedback ! Look out for black eyes in the Third test...

If one is a true professional then one should be tucked up in bed at a reasonable time in preparation for the next days action so l have no problem with having certain boundaries..

So you'd have restrictive boundaries like no punching the captain, or headbutting the opposition

Botham, Lamb, Gower were famous for their all night nightclub benders, then going on to play and beat the Aussies next day. Guess the current saps aren't made of such stuff and must be tucked up at 8pm with Teddy.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017

At this rate the selectors and the team they picked could not even organise a half decent piss up in a brewery.

Well sadly if your preparation is non existent before this tour then basically all you are prepared for is to fail Dave and that is exactly what has transpired very sadly.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017

Time for Broad and Cook to hang up their boots, they were great but aren't any longer. Also drop Ali for the time being as he's out of form. Pick some of the young guys. We'll still get beat, but that's not the point now, get them prepared for next time.

Personally the selectors have a lot to answer for as leaving out your best player when if you go back 30 years Beefy and Daffy made Stokes antics seem like a tea party so that was not a good starting point and then picking bowlers who would not be suited to Down Under conditions was another mistake and then there was the near zero preparations which was basically shambolic in the extreme and sadly l could go on and on Mr K but l am sure you have a analysis of why we failed dismally.

Re: BT Sports team for Ashes 2017

Looks like rain might save the Aussies; not that they care much now anyway..

Enjoying the 'big bash'. Not a massive fan of 20/20 but the Aussies seem to do it best. If only there was an option to mute sound every time KP opens his mouth. Every day and in every way he becomes more of a self obsessed ******.....

At least we should avoid the predicted 5-0 whitewash.
