Agreed. It's like poor Monty getting into **** for pissing on a bouncer. Has a bouncer ever won us a series in India, out bowling the natives and even opening the bowling in a 2nd innings? No. I think any player that has done that for his country, or has scored tones and taken fivefers in Aus, and slogged a 250 in SA and has more tons and fivefers at 26 than Freddie got in his entire career should be exempt from prosecution simply for slapping some oik that almost certainly deserved it.

But we don't have a bastman to replace him with. And we can't really start with 3 quicks and Ali.

Foakes has a better FC average than both Vince and Malan so why aren't we giving him a go ffs?

This is a disaster, Berni.
