I think the ICC rules can only give 1 game ban. But expect cricket Australia will give a longer ban and the public are demanding strong action for those involved. Who will be Australia captain after Smith and Warner wont be. Cant see Paine being it. Maybe Lyon or Shaun Marsh

I pick Cahill and Smalling in my team but it looks like Southgate wont pick either. Maguire is a good player and deserve to start the world cup after the Holland game. Who start right centre back im undecide yet.

Southgate has said he will play 3 at the back in the world cup so pointless picking a different formation.

How long he been doing now? 3 or 4 years?

The Germany coach Low had a very poor CV before he got the Germany job. So did Coleman before Wales job. What are your expectations for Southgate then? His target for world cup is second round or Quarter final he done ok/good. Semi final or final then excellent and beyond expectations. Southgate like Livermore and you got to take that into consider when picking your squad. I wouldnt take him but an extra centre back or striker.

Not interest in the Southgate's CV, more interest in how he does as England manager and nothing else. i'm pleased he has a system and willing to do something different. so far it works. ive told you who my team would be before so don't be clever. I agree we have depth in wing backs, keeper, Front 3 and centre back. I think Pickford will be first choice, Stones was first choice until he got injured. Chamberlain plays in centre midfield for Liverpool in a 3 man midfield. I would take Lewis Cook, he was quality for the under 20's and was captain. I suggest taking Livermore as 5th choice, but it is the last place in the squad, and whether it would be centre back or another striker. Livermore is a player Southgate likes, not a player I like really. we clear nothing up so don't be arrogant Jim. Messi and Ronaldo are in a complete different world to any other footballers Ive seen in my life time. Ronaldoinho was very good but not never Messi or Ronaldo level. Kane is a world class striker, Messi and Ronaldo are greats of the game like Pele, Maradona, Bobby Charlton and I seen plenty of talent footballers, look at the success of the under 21's, 20's and 19's. The footballers are there, just need their club managers to belief in them

No one will ever be in Messi and Ronaldo league or level. These are 2 very talented players who are greats of the modern era. Kane isnt a great of the game. But never said he was tho.

Very deluded that Jim. One of the best strikers in the World, best English striker by miles and 7 goals in 7 Champions League plus an outstanding Premier League record year after year but still not world class. Very deluded

Plus 7 champions league goals in 7 games plus 24 premier league goals in 29 games. Thats this season. Plus links with Bayern and Real Madrid who 2 out of the 3 biggest clubs in the World. Barcelona being the other. Plus 12 goals in 23 games for England including important goal against Scotland away, goal against France away and double against Germany away

Matt you are spot on about Test cricket around the world isn't well attended. Indian fans aren't mad about test cricket but one day/twenty20 cricket is their focus I love test cricket a lot more than one day or twenty20 cricket. It was Test Cricket that I grab my attention as a child and I've never bored of it. Cricket Australia should sack Smith and Warner permanently as captain and Vice Captain and both should be suspend from cricket for 6 to 12 months international. Bancroft should be banned for 12 months for cheating. I agree that Lehmann should be sack. Also looking at the comments of Border, Katich, Clarke, Warne comments I think they will force Cricket Australia hand to sack those 2. Plus the Australia PM has commented about this issue and isn't very happy about this entire situation. This current Australia side isn't very popular in Australia there

Alot more in now. About 2/3k probably. Mayhe making sure play was on 1st before attending.

I havent seen the Bancroft incident on tv only read about it. But he should be banned and Smith should be strip of the captaincy. Also who are these other senior players who agree to this? Now on England, the batting display was pathetic. I disagree with the team picked by them. Why is Bairstow batting 6 instead of 5? Malan should be batting at 3 and Root 4. Livingstone should be playing at 6 if Stokes could bowl. Ali shouldnt be playing. Why isnt Wood and Leach not playing? Extra pace of Wood would be good on this pitch.

I would say Kane is world class. Greece won the Euros and the they had no world class players

Decent? You are having a laugh. It was really good competence performance. I don't know how you can have a go at Southgate after that performance when all players that started understood their role, played well and proved that they can play in 3-4-1-2 formation despite your argument they cant. didn't look fluent enough going forward? is this joke or something? I disagree on the lack of depth in the England squad. Also disagree on Dier who would the 2nd name on my teamsheet after Harry Kane who would be my captain and vice captain(Dier). What problems at Centre back? Look at the depth we have. I will name these players, starting who my back 3 would be:- Dier, Stones, Maguire, Jones, Gomez, Smalling, Cahill, Mawson, Tarwolski. Plus Walker look good enough as centre back in a 3 man team. Midfield:- Henderson played well yesterday and probably played himself into the starting 11. Wilshere is a must if fit. Oxlade Chamberlain is playing well in centre midfield for Liverpool. I would take Lewis Cook who is form for Bournemouth. Ali is playing poor for Spurs atm and last night was awful. probably played himself out of the starting line up. Plus Sterling, Lingard and Lallana. Strikers:- Kane, Rashford and Vardy are automatic choices for 3 of the 4 spots. the other spot is wide open and whether you want to take a extra defender and use Dier as midfielder, or take extra centre midfielder(Livermore) and use Sterling as a striker which is very tempting at the minute, Or take Welbeck or Sturridge.

Looks like Paul Clement will be the next Reading manager

Rovers twitter account and Rich Sharpe both said he went for sprint and pulled up and signal to Johnson to come off. Really shame for the lad.

looking through players Southgate picked in this squad and who he hasn't picked. No Jones, Smalling or Cahill pick by Southgate which is surprise but at least he isn't picking it on who the players clubs are like previous manager like Eriksson or Capello and picking players on form like Tarkowski or Mawson. Who are in form for their clubs. my squad would be: Goalkeeper:- Butland, Pickford, either Pope or Heaton or Hart. Defenders:- Walker, Tripper, Stones, Gomez, Maguire, Mawson, Rose, Bertrand Midfielders:- Dier, Wilshere, Ali, Lallana, Sterling, Oxlade-Chamberlain,, Lingard, Loftus-Cheek, Attackers:- Kane, Rashford, Vardy, Welbeck

Southgate has said he will play 3 at the back in the world cup

Sterling injured isnt he???

Which my formation and players picked doesnt btw. All players in their natural positions

FFS, ive fully explained my reasons for my formation and players picked and in their proper positions. No player is playing out of position. So what you issue now? Cos I dont agree with you? Ive show you that stats in club football means nothing when it comes to playing international football. Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney never produce in international football did they? Thats best 3 players we had in the past 10 years. We never come close to even getting to semi final have we? Also I notice that you didnt comment on the Southgate article saying he going to play 3 at the back in the world cup.

The things he does on the pitch every game he plays in. Noticed you not to my shoehorn comments and every player Ive picked fit into the system and not shoehorn as he suggest..how come? Cos your comment was wrong?

Based on him as a player and things he does on the pitch.

Kane is the captain and the best striker in the PL. Why wouldnt he start? Score goals, hold up the ball and good leader Ive already said why I want to play my way. You AREN'T shoehorning any player into a system tho. Just playing in the natural positions. Ive picked Rashford and Kane up front. Both are strikers. So not shoehorn in Ali is a 10. His best position and his natural position. So not shoehorn in Wilshere is the playmaker midfielder and Dier defensive midfielder. Their natural roles. So not shoehorn in.. Walker and Rose are attacking fullbacks/wing backs. Natural positions and roles. So not shoehorn in Stones and I pick Smalling and Cahill. All centre defenders and have played in back 3 during their club career..so not shoehorn in. Butland is a keeper so not shoehorn in.
