So what does our 11 look like for the Ashes.
I guess Warner is still there. Labs and Smith. So 3 batting spots. I’ve forgotten the 11 last summer. Think Burns was in and Wade. Bowling the usual 4 I guess. Cummins, Hazelwood, Lyons. Then either Starc or Pattinson.

Mind you it is possible with a third string Indian side apparently.

The most likely 11 is:
Pucovski
Warner
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Green
Paine
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Hazlewood

How many chances does Head get before they realise he isn't up to the level?

I don’t get why Starc is likely to be a walk up start. Probably wouldn’t make my squad any more based on merit.
Agree, this is going to be a relatively weak England squad. Now's the time to start bringing through the next generation of quicks.

This should be 5 nil. One of the worst English line ups to tour Aus in a long time. Outside of Root can't see them making enough runs. Bairstow and Buttler might chip in a bit but hard to see them dominating.
Bowling line up is shiteeeeee.
Bowling line up is shiteeeeee.
Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field, eh?

If you are not playing Starc, Jhye Richardson is the one. There's a bit of sameness about the attack if you have Cummins and then a Pattinson/Neser. You need variety.
No idea on the second opener, honestly is Pucovski even fit for once in his life? If he isn't someone like Bryce Street comes into play with a good start to the Shield year. I don't want Burns there we know he's not the answer.

That's what they said about the Aussies of 89 and look what happened then
Don't underestimate the opposition still quality in the english line up.
Burns is crap but still manages to score runs against us
Malan scored a hundred here against us last tour ...enjoys our conditions.. played well against india
Root...class
Bairstow struggles at test level but when on can be dangerous
plus pope
So there is quality there ...saying that I expect us to win 3 to one with one draw
I am hoping its going to be a hot summer so we can ....grind anderson and broad into the ground
There it is.
Pucovski and Green. Totally forgot them. Hope Head get in and makes some runs to cement his spot. If Patto is is fit I hope he is in.

Can't we move past Head seriously how many more opportunities does one need? Pattinson won't be picked over the 3 that are in and Jhye is just as good too.

Carey/McDermott (whoever has a better Shield coming in)
Paine (+, c)
Pattinson
Cummins
Lyon
Hazlewood
Anybody suggesting Richardson needs to shut up because he hasn't played a FC game in nearly 2 years. Neser is a maybe ahead of Patto depending on the deck and conditions but Pattinson is the most likely if they ever drop Starc. Carey and McDermott ahead of Head because he averages 31 if you take out the two tests against a Sri Lankan attack that was about as dangerous as South Australia's in Aussie conditions.

Surely there are more middle order bats than playing a second keeper which is not something we've really done. There has to be. Why not Pucovski in the middle order and bring an opener in and there a few openers getting runs, Steet has just made a ton, the Tassie opener has close to 200 runs in the last shield game. Not sue on McDermott, doesn't seem to make big hundreds which makes me nervous, he's an option though. Anyone rather than Head though, enough is enough.
I can't see them not picking Starc, they want variety, especially Starc which will help Lyon.

Take out that SL series and it's 31. That SL series was a joke, anyone could have got runs against that attack.

This is what baffles me....is why Khawaja when he got dropped from the test side instead of going back to QLD to open he moves himself down to 4 ...I reckon Burns is best suited down the order and Ussie should open for QLD

Yep same, he clearly is the best opener besides Warner...

Reality is we have moved on from Khawaja anyway, so I'm not fussed where he bats for QLD.

I mean, if you ignore Will Pucovski being better, sure.

He planning to stay fit for more than a game this time? I rate him but there is surely some merit in easing him into the side in the middle order. Can't have your opener breaking down every second game
