Whos in the 2019 15 man ashes squad? OFFICIAL SQUAD Announced 26/7

[lockyno1]

When was the last time a keeper got injured the morning of or the day before a match? It’s highly unlikely.

Is there an Aussie keeper in county cricket? If there is, you’d only have to worry about an injury on the morning of a match.

The year Grahame Manou made his test debut over there- needless to say I want a keeper just in case. Sure they might just be “in an emergency” but it’s important. Furthermore might allow Paine to have a rest or two in the tour games.

Lol at Carey being the long term option.

Must not get much cricket info in Los Angeles. The dude is 28 and still hasn't cracked the test side.

28 is more than enough, that’s 8+ years he’ll be good for.

f**k up Locky

We have been known to hand the gloves to random locals in tour matches to avoid playing our sole keeper. We don’t need Carey when there’s Wade and potentially Bancroft in the squad.

There’s no tour games once the tests start. The schedule is tight because of the World Cup.

Wade will be fine as the backup, I know he’s not the best, but he’s easily good enough for that role.

Agree to disagree. Personally I’d rather an extra keeper. Don’t think Wade is good enough

 

[TheParraboy]

Wade will have enough on his plate to be keeping

coming in at no 6 saving the day with the bat many times

then having to roll his arm over for important break throughs

and of course the main thing he will be required to do - make the side

A tour match is scheduled in between the first and second test.

So there is, couldn’t find it on my first search. Still, Wade will be fine in that.

England’s squad to face their ODI captains old team looks trash.

Apart from the kiwi Stoakes and Warner’s bitch Root, their batting line up is fragile to say the least.

We’ll win this series comfortably. Load up on the $2.63 for us to win if you like money.

Wait till after the first test. Our bowlers bowled beyond dumb last time bowling short trash. Watch them not pick a Siddle/Richardson type who are perfect in these conditions too.

During the World Cup we pitched it up, so there’s hope. Big reason for why we beat England at lords, too.

Let’s hope they learnt from last time

Siddle with 70 wickets the last two county seasons at 18 should be one of the first picked. If I could only pick one pace bowler to play every match it'd be Potassium Pete.

 

[TheParraboy]

Hopefully Hazlewood is 100% fit and raring to go and has a huge series

 

[CoolCat]

My Squad :

Harris
Warner
Khawaja
Smith
Head
Labuschagne
Paine (c)
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Hazelwood

Siddle
Wade
Carey
James Pattinson
Mitch Marsh

I am actually finding it quite difficult to pick a team. I think we are a real good chance to claim this ashes series. Here is what I’ve come up with:

Warner
Harris
Smith
Khawaja
Wade (deserves a recall as a specialist batsman tbh, nobody has been close to him for 12 months and he has performed in England too)
Head
Paine
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Hazlewood

Bancroft
J. Richardson
Pattinson (can cover the inevitable injury with the fast bowlers)
Carey (probably deserves a go but where?)
Patterson (really tough to leave him out but can easily fill in for head or khawaja if injured or out of form)
Labuschagne

 

[herbert henry1908]

The intra squad teams are in, no Khawaja, still injured.

[herbert henry1908]

It’d be utter madness to select Khawaja for the first test when he hasn’t played any red ball cricket for 6 months, so expect him to be in the team for Edgbaston

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The Hick XI? I reckon I've played in that team.
