Think he got an injury as well didn't he, which gave them an excuse to get Stewart back into the side (having missed the winter tour) and then the likes of Read and Geraint Jones to jump ahead of him in the pecking order once Stewart retired.

Broke his arm in the nets at the start of the following summer.

Not content with ruining the lives of children everywhere he spreads his evil toward the England wicketkeeper position.

I heard he makes Pryor's gloves.

So how did he do?

Pretty well.

Think he's f*cked 9 people's careers there. Out of 13.

Good effort.

I think he's upped his average since then

Yeah .... now watch Buttler spiral into a burning dive.

Trev ought to lose his bloody ouija board.

One name I always keep hearing, principally from KOK, is that of Josh Hazlewood yet whenever I see him I think of him as overrated.

Bet he didn't expect one career to be nipped in the bud by incarceration.

Hint: he might come from Pakistan

Well, Broad is still on track. Rashid has gone nowhere mind, Amir is in jail FFS, Kane Williamson is still promising, as is Adrian Barath, Lhawaja, has been treated a tad harshly, Hazlewood stuffed his back and isn't quite the same bowler he was three two years ago........

On the other hand..........

Pretty much spot on, if I say so myself.

I know you're taking the piss but seriously none of those seem particularly good. Fringe first class at best.
