Is Phil Mustard’s son a big scalp to take? Also, is Phil Mustard a real name?

Played for Durham for years and also played for England across all forms. Was a very good player but never took his talent seriously enough

Foot injury he’d been playing with that had affected his performances must have cleared up.

Or the injury was an excuse ? as we were told he was having injections to play and playing through the pain barrier ?

 

7 days later (and missing the Australia tour) , he is sprinting up to bowl and putting all the pressure through his ankle ? 
 

Surely he should have been resting ? Or having a minor operation?

Don't know about the last month of the season, but there's a quote where he says 'West Ham on 30th March was "the first time in a while I've been excited to come in and play, just because I know I wasn't going to be in pain"' (https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5404865/2024/04/11/newcastle-injury-nightmare/)


Forgetting the cricket stuff for a minute. If he did sort the injuries/pain out. Then it didn’t change his performances.
 

He was decent earlier in the season when Tonali was a bit hit and miss. Understandable, in hindsight. But he has been poor for a long while now.

Yeah it’s fair enough if he has recovered. Can’t say it improved performances much. Maybe a good preseason behind him will help.

Christ that must be 80+mph decent action as well

Get him in the test squad

Yeah, I seen him play at Tynemouth last season and he’s pretty sharp.

 

Also bats left handed which I found a bit random.

Yeah I think he kind of always wants to play that advanced right-sided 8 role as that's what's been drilled into him. Even when we played more 442 vs Burnley he still seemed to play the exact same way.

He missed the Australia trip because he’s awaiting the arrival of his first child.

His baseline level is very low. Playing through injury is commendable etc, but it’s not why he’s a bad player.

Got to be moved on this summer as everything is pure profit and he's nowhere near the level we need either. Need every penny we can get to count this summer

 

Zero chance that happens. Eddie loves him, and as long he's not starting next season he's decent backup.

Howe has already said that the owners will have the final say. Pure profit for any fee and you have Miley coming through
