Gareth Batty's Back....

Dello will be well chuffed! The Battymeister earns an England ODI call-up with Fat Sam dropped for being fat and Swann set to have an operation!

Progress. Progress. We'll rape the Windies in the ODIs.

Well, phuck me ragged with a pumice stone... the master has come back, Gaz! the originally, run! for the grand finale, mi inna mi Clarky-Wally.

In all seriousness, what a shitarse selection that is.

Come on, he averages 74 in ODIs. He's f*cking awesome.

Even Dalrymple would have been better than Batty.

What's wrong with his back?

I'd have taken anyone over Batty. James Tredwell or Liam Dawson maybe.

Why were England considering Patel as a spin bowling all rounder in the first place? He's a batsman who bowls a bit.

So we pick shit players rather than fat players? Makes sense.... considering we picked an unfit bloke to bowl in the last test.

Please someone tell me Adil Rashid is already in the one day squad.

Can bat, top fielder & offers a wicket taking variety rather than some bland random up and down spinner.

Please someone tell me he's in it.

Gareth Fcucking Batty.

FFS. For Fcucking Sake.

Yeah, Rashid is in the squad. And I assume he's now first choice spinner. Tredwell has fallen out of favour pretty quickly. He's not great, but........Batty? FFS.

Thank fark for that then.

Batty though, he's approaching 32. Has taken 4 wickets in his 7 ODI's and his list A average is nearly 34. Never did and never will cause anyone sleepless nights at the top level.

Why not take a punt on someone like Dawson?

England selectors - "I'm bringing sexy back, yeeeaaah!"

That's the worst part of it....

Dello now has the perfect excuse to bring out his BDSM pic of Batty as his avatar.

Ya Batty boy. That's what he'll get from the Crowd.


It'll do a lot for his confidence, with people chanting the truth and all.

I've always said fat people are what's wrong with the world.

What more proof do you need - Gareth Batty's back in the England squad because Fat Sam is fat.

Would have been the ultimate insult to Fat Sam if they had replaced him with Ian Fatwell...
