@harryxafc @WG_RumblePants @TeleCricket @willis_macp Yeah. But my point is, there wouldn’t be the same issue about his character.
Same with Brook & Duckett.

@FanaticBears @WG_RumblePants @TeleCricket @willis_macp Tom did yes not Sam. Don’t think Tom Curran’s been in an England squad since well before that incident.

Ollie Robinson is gobby but he must lead England’s attack, writes @willis_macp
👇Lowest average of any England bowler post-2000

🫡An England attack desperate for a leader...
Is now the time for him to return to the Test team?

@WG_RumblePants @TeleCricket @willis_macp We all make mistakes.
Personally, I don’t think he’s done anything close to as unlikable as Duckett, Brook or Curran.
They’re given grace & multiple chances, why not Robinson?
Just seems he had a wobble for a year but he’s been told a few home truths & seems better for it.
English
@TeleCricket @willis_macp It would be one way to make the England team even less likeable.
English
@AzeemRafiq30 I think for a lot of the coaches they have to be careful.
You don’t want to piss off the ECB or team management. Otherwise suddenly the players you do have in the set up have less availability, or you might damage the chances of guys who are on the fringes.

I have been critical of Brendon & Key but have to stand up for them here
A lot of guys who are criticising them literally for last 4 years cheer lead & championed everything that went wrong this winter
Key needs to stand up & push back on some of these people

@WG_RumblePants @TheiPaperSport @StocksC_cricket I can totally understand.
It can’t be seen through the lenses of Robinson alone though or just that moment.
Fitness issues, went away got fit, bowled all summer.
Trust, you’ve got England captains punching bouncers, videos of them all pissed.
Form, well doesn’t matter for some…

@TheiPaperSport @StocksC_cricket He can’t be serious?

@5liveSport @bbctms Uhoh, Crawleys dad needs to organise some more golf trips pronto. Or up the standard of course he’s getting Key onto.
Key is clearly willing to forget those “mentor” payments to save his own backside.

"We need to be more ruthless in our selection..." 😬
🗣️Rob Key discusses "overvaluing loyalty". Does this mean a team shake-up could be in the midst?

@WG_RumblePants @aron_seb85252 @CricketCentrl Think it’s more to do with the ECB only just announcing that the management team is staying, but they’re valuing county cricket much more now.
Years gone by he could have gone to the IPL no problem. But a poor winter & new selection standards means he’s had to change his plans.
English
@aron_seb85252 @CricketCentrl He may not have even played.

🚨 BCCI HUMBLED BEN DUCKETT 🚨
Ben Duckett thought he could just walk away like players do in the PSL.
But the BCCI humbled him real quick, reminding him this isn't the PSL—withdrawing here gets you banned.
Now, the BCCI has slapped Duckett with a 3-year ban.

They did something stupid

Kent deployed a faith-healer at Canterbury over the winter "to ward off the evil spirits" on the ground as part of their latest attempts to solve longstanding injury issues, as well as changing strategy around pitches and personnel. thecricketer.com/Topics/county-…

Great classroom etiquette. Hand up, “excuse me”, looks to make eye contact and get someone important attention.

All I get from this is confirmation of what absolutely everybody thinks about Rob Key.
If he was chocolate he’d eat himself. He’s that guy that wants everyone to know just how busy and important (he thinks) he is.
Aaditya Narayan@AadityaN_28
This is a proper banger from @mroller98. Absolutely damning on Key and McCullum. Reeks of a horrific culture that the two have been responsible for setting, IMO. espncricinfo.com/story/liam-liv…

Just enjoy high intensity, entertaining rugby.
It’s irrelevant of the Southern Hemisphere, no-one mentioned them. Just enjoy it as the sport you supposedly love.
Ben Smith@bensmithrugby
Widely regarded as the best ever 6N, France have been crowned champs after conceding 96 points in two weeks playing highly entertaining attacking rugby. The defence first identity of European rugby has been shattered. The defence optional league in the Northern Hemisphere.
English
I tell you one thing that will never change in rugby and I respect it massively… French tv directors.
Never a replay of anything that might negatively affect France. Been the same for decades, so devoted to the cause.
English
Still not seen a high tackle at the end there. Where the hell was it? Rewinded it, still can’t see it.
Itoje doesn’t knock the ball down if that’s not given; though not even sure that was a penalty, no different to Cros off the back of the scrum.
English
@neilfissler Problem is I don’t want to trust Amashukeli’s judgment. It’s endlessly rubbish.
English
Too much use of technology. Make a decision for yourself. Back your own judgement.
English
Amashukeli had a shocker. So inconsistent.
Just not good enough for this level. Was the same when England played Wales.
He gave England absolutely nothing today, pinged them for things he let the French get away with constantly.
English
@Rugby_Scoop The worst part is how can the French be allowed to do it twice with no yellow???? Absurd inconsistency.
English
Baffling decision, maul practically broken off and players being pulled away from it is a penalty try?
#FRAVENG
English
@scrumming_ten The French wanted England in the white kit. That’s the point of their kit, that it’s the same colour as that first match, and England wear white like that first match too.
Ref or 6 Nations need to say something and step in.
English
Surely England could have accommodated France and worn an away kit tonight?
English
@RugbyInsideLine Can’t blame Genge. France got away with it twice.
No way England don’t score that 1st maul unless the French player comes round. They’re splintered, on the floor & England were motoring.
England do it once & it’s a yellow & penalty try. Nothing for France twice.
So inconsistent.
English
HT: 🇫🇷 FRA 24 - 27 ENG 🌹
Where on earth has this England team been for the last month? Some serious confidence, drive and passion on display.
Silly from Genge at the end to narrow the scores.
Discipline letting England down again.
