I forgot some time ago to comment on the socceroos performance at the Asian Cup. They played three poor teams and struggled. This is because we have little creativity in the midfield. Unil this can change it will be always the case.

Against south korea we were much better as we did not dominate and could counter attack. We were up 1-0. It should have been 3-0. A poor tackle led to a penalty and then a superb free kick allowed south korea to win the match.

I do not know why Arnold selelcted some players as clearly they will not be at the next world cup. I would also argue they did not deserve their place.

It is up to Arnie to change the team sso we can play with a decent performance at the next world cup.

I have been watching the England V India series. I never expected bazball to succeed in India and it hasn't. The fact England has pushed India all the way with a very inexperienced spinning lineup is a credit to Stokes. However when they have lost tests it was because of their batting. Apart from Crawley there has been no consistency.

Surely ball tracking is at an end. Balls that spin suddenly on ball tracking do not spin. Balls on the rise when they hit Crawley's  kneeroll (the same height as the bails) somehow hit the bails!
