So they end up with sh1t on their nose and a fat wallet, at least until he fires them.
Although if the rumours are true he is burning those bridges as well, it seems yet again in this term his list of indirect debtors is growing faster than his ego, all of them fearing retribution if they speak out.

Last post by LP -Webster is more of a bowl a bit and bat a bit all-rounder but, in form, his ability to bowl off spin and medium pace gives him an edge of Green.
Plus to me he has a toughness about how he plays the game, he can easily be as brutal with bat as Green or Marsh, and he won't waste over bowling half-track rubbish or no-spin pies like some of the alternatives.

Last post by DJC -Anyway, he was dead against all-rounders who could bowl a bit and bat a bit. He always maintained that an all-rounder should win his place because he was the best batsman or the best bowler for that spot in the team. For example, Richie Benaud was in the Test team because he was the best leg spinner. His ability with the bat was a bonus. Doug Walters was in the Test team because he was the best middle order batsman. His bowling was a bonus. Selectors these days seem to favour all-rounders who can bowl a bit and bat a bit.
I would call Green a batsman who can bowl but I don't think he deserves a Test spot on the strength of his batting. Webster is more of a bowl a bit and bat a bit all-rounder but, in form, his ability to bowl off spin and medium pace gives him an edge over Green.

Last post by Milhanna13 -Mark Wood bowled 8 overs in the lilac hill game and has been sent for scans on his hamstring after experiencing tightness.
Can't see him playing in the 1st test ,and if he does then he won't see out the game.
Stokes took 6 wickets............... every single one of them a slog caught on the fence!!! The B Team, with only 4 specialist batsmen in the line up made 370odd at 5 an over, against the test attack. this is their only warm up game
having said that - they will probably all be on fire for the 1st test

Last post by Milhanna13 -Kinda like Mark Waugh and more than a few others from that state.Agree on Green, he is no number three and very over hyped as an all-rounder given he hardly ever bowls.
Consistency sets the greats apart from the also rans.
I don't see what the selectors see in Green, Webster is a heart and soul team man. He may not have Greens talent but he's stood up when required thus far.
Webster is a more reliable cricketer and I'd be picking him over Green for the No 6 spot.
Everyone always says to pick the best performed shield players. Green has been the best batter by a long way over the past feew years, at shield level. his bowling is a bonus

Last post by DJC -All they had to do was make the cross fade obvious so that the edit wasn't concealed, they do that on other reports all the time.
I doubt he will really sue because it opens him to discovery, yet all he cares about is money and the carrot is big in his mind.
And his lawyers, be they personal or DoJ (which is much the same) are incompetent and out of their depth 🙄
