Abolish central contracts

I'm effin angry now. How can someone stand there and tell me they're doing their best when they are supposed to be a professional cricketer - but can't sustain a spell beyond 3 balls in the correct place.

There's a few characters on this team that are fast becoming complacent w***ers. Unfortunately Harmison is one of them, and I'm concerned that a few are going the same way.

Therefore, I reckon we should take the step of abolishing central contracts... It's rash but it'll make them fight for their f***in places.

Yeah there will be favoured players with Test experience, no doubt, but players like Stuart Broad or John Lewis could bowl significantly better than some half-crocked twat with an attitude. Likewise other middle order players.

The system is keeping some people wrapped up in a comfort blanket, giving them all they need, paying for them (and their families) and everything they need... and what does England get in reply?

1 ball an over in the right area or 5 runs from 12 balls... then a multitude of excuses and an attitude.

You're priveleged enough to be picked for your country. Do your fcuking job.
