Well Cummins is the big "C" and Smith the vc but doing a lot more than vc's used to do

The big question is one batting and bowling spot along with the keeper

I would go with Pearson as keeper especially at the Gabba and pick anyone other than Head or Khawaja and throw in Richardson as the 3rd pace bowler

So what will the Pommy side look like?

btw: with rain everywhere in the Eastern States it is possible that we could have 3 tests ruined by rain

Like what?
Fabulous the way that the NSW mefia trumpeted SPIT's previous captaincy
experience as a compelling reason for his resurrection. Completely
unsurprising was that no-one mentioned the actual quality of his captaincy.
Which was rubbish.

Um, there's already three in the XI.

Way too early to tell. We haven't had any rain here on the Sunny Coast for
a couple of hours now...

Everyone over hear has been assuming that the three pace bowlers would
be (if they are all fit) Cummins, Hazlewood and Starc. I take it you'd
leave out Starc?

>

I'd guess:

Burns, Hameed, Bairstow, Root, Stokes, Pope, Buttler (w), any three out
of [Woakes, Robinson, Broad, Anderson], Leach

I think Woakes might be the one to be omitted, unless they want to
bolster the batting. Crawley or Lawrence might be preferred to Pope, and
if Crawley plays then Bairstow might bat at 5 or 6.

I hope so. but JR looks an excellent prospect if he can stay fit. reasonable
with the bat too. he doesnt look so skinny as last year. I'd say the make
up of the side depends whether Green can bowl. He looked like test
class when he did last season. I dunno how good wade is rated as keeper,
but if hes ok, i'd be tempted to choose him rather than start an ashes
series with a newbie.

I would prefer Malan over Bairstow, judging by the perfs vs India. I think
Bairstows best days as a test batter are behind him. Perhaps if one
or both of the openers fail, they might try him in the role as hes so
used to opening in the odis etc, but it would be a desparate measure.
But as our batters have had almost no practice at all, its probably gonna be
a disaster whoever they choose.

I think if stokes is fit to bowl, and that might be a big if, then theres no
need for woakes whose record in tests abroad is abysmal.

just convert the ashes into 10 t20s. we'd still lose, but it might be a bit more
competitive.

I somehow forgot Mark Wood, who is also a strong candidate for one of
the pace bowling places. I'm assuming the balance of the side will be
three quicks plus Stokes plus one specialist spinner.

My memory is crap these days. Malan is another player I forgot, and must
have a strong claim to bat at 3, in which case they might go for
Bairstow at 6.

As I type this I forget what I am replying to....ok, not that bad but going downhill so fast they will be calling me a Queenslander soon

I would assume Broad is 100% just to get Warner, Anderson on a green wicket and Wood for some chin music

Yes William. Minor detail, there are *already* three quicks in the team so
you have to drop one to make Richo #3. Who?

Worse. Knowing and lying about it.

As the first Test is at the Gabba, I think Wood is likely to play.
Assuming that dropping Anderson is unthinkable, the third spot could go
to either Broad or Robinson.

Replaying to a reply that had nothing to do with team selection as you well know you farking moron but just for your peanut brain

Players I would not have in the side would be Lyons, Wade, Lyons and Starc who all didn't do enough ( been very kind ) last series again India

Harris, Head and Khawaja is just recycling deadwood and Maddison shouldn't be allowed in the same city that the test is been played

I would give Swepson a run and maybe have a Pommy as keeper with Richardson as a quick

Maybe not even have a 6th batsmen ...go all out with a 4 man pace attack with a leggie

but the team will be
Harris
Warner
Labu
Smith
Green
Head
Carey
Cummins
Starc
Lyons
Hazelwood

basically its Labu/Smith v the Yorksman who can't remember

At last! An XI! Not yours, but it's a start...

Anyhoo, yep, that'll prob be the Test XI.

My XI would be.

Harris
Hunt
Marnus
Smith
UK
Green
Inglis/Carey/Pierson (In that order, but don't really care)
Richardson
Cummins
Lyons (Last Chance Dance)
Hazelwood

Weather in SEQ has been shithouse for at least the last two weeks and the
forecast is for more of the same in the forseeable. The pitch prep must be
virtually non-existent so far.

they need a stadium with a roof.

apparently the perth test is off, which is a shame as its probably the 1 place where
it isnt raining. surely in future they should rethink the whole schedule and go west
to east; 1st test perth, 2nd adelaide, 3rd melb, 4th sydney 5th brisbane.
