I'd go Pucovski. A ton and 3 fifties post Xmas.Fair. Probably replace Siddle with Maxwell then.

I don't thik Siddle will be named in the squad. If fit Pattinson and Richardson have jumped ahead of him
If it is a choice between Patto and Siddle, patto will go. He has been sensational with the dukes in Australia and is sensational over in England, has the extra pace, extra batting ability and extra aggression.Remember the series is in England where Siddle has a fantastic record. I think they will pick Siddle.

If it is between Rihardson and Siddle, then l still think Richardson will be ahead of Siddle. While Siddle was pretty good for that 1 test, it was 4 years ago. Richardson has shown to be arguably the best up and coming young quick in the world atm (i.e younger than Cumins, Rabada etc.). He looks really suited for English conditions and the experiene will be invaluable.
I know it’s been a while since we had a bright young hope, but we need to stop trying to force the Pucovski issue. When he was selected for the SL series and concerns were raised given he had only recently been forced to take a break from the game, people were quick to say if he and his inner circle believed he was fine, who were we to question it. Well, he didn’t last a week in Queensland, so he and his people were wrong.I'd go Pucovski. A ton and 3 fifties post Xmas.
I'd at least give him the A tour.I know it’s been a while since we had a bright young hope, but we need to stop trying to force the Pucovski issue.

So I wouldn’t be taking him to England for two months. His time will come, let him grow up and adjust to cricket life before putting him back in the spotlight.
Absolutely, send him over for a shorter period, give him a chance to show what he can do. He’s not likely to play an Ashes Test with Smith and Warner returning anyway, his best chance is next summer depending on the form of guys like Patterson and Head.I'd at least give him the A tour.
Discussion over the 7 middle order spots would be interesting. I'd say Khawaja, Paine and Smith are locked in. Which leaves 4 spots between:
Head, Patterson, Wade, Pucovski, Carey, Labuschagne, Stoinis, Maxwell.
Obviously one will be between Carey and Wade for the reserve keeper. Head probably gets in due to weight of runs in the Australian summer. Labuschagne's return to the Shield did himself no favours. For me you select the first three and then one of Puck, Stoin and Maxy
Why do so many people have bloody Stoinis in their squads? Bloody average. Hasnt scored a FC ton in 3 years and his bowling is garbage. We dont need an bits and pieces all rounder in England, their test batting lineup is ordinary and our bowlers wont struggle to bowl the out cheaply on most occasions. Most of out batsmen will struggle over there so we will need to play the best batting options, not a Stoinis type.

Martin Love says hi
Man, I dont know why Richardson is all of a sudden scraping into people squads. Did nothing wrong with the ODI team and was very good against SL. Has an action and method tailored to English conditions.
He's a lock for the squad.
Also, if you are taking Pattinson (which I agree you should), I'd be taking another quick in the decent chance he breaks down

If his 2019 county stint follows on from 2018, a very good chance of being in the squad.I have a feeling Siddle will tour because they like having him in the squad and he's a good reliable backup.
What's that?Warner has been rules out of the ashes with SSD.
What's that?
Sloppy Seconds Disease.

Bancroft should be behind Burns. Over half his runs came in one game
