Great point re Swepson. Seems to have gone backwards a bit?Glad you like the idea TommyD13. We can fit in Josh Inglis by removing Swepson. Some will say Agar but he bats too and is a brilliant fieldsman. Do we really need a fourth spinner when we have Smith, Labs, Head and Renshaw who can offer part time spin. Besides Swepson hasn't exactly bowled down the house in his sub continent tours to date.
A bit harsh saying a 23 year old should knock back life changing money for 8 weeks work IMO.The Poms may be having nitemares all over again after hearing that Steven Smith is set to play English county cricket as a way to ramp up his preparations for the upcoming Ashes series. They may still be having the shivers from the savaging Smudge handed them in 2019 so I can not think of a better prep for our master batsman leading into a series we have not won on English soil since 2001. Pity some others have not put aside the IPL circus and done the same. Such as our skipper, Hazlewood and Green, three vital cogs in our wheel to knock off the Poms on their soil. Not sure if Marnus is heading back to Glamorgan for his third county season on the trot, ditto Matty Renshaw. Also have not heard whether an A side will be touring with the Ashes squad this time.
I beg to differ. India is the grand final.. the last frontier, the Everest. One win one draw there from the past 10 starts is proof of that. I have posted on the India thread a possible blueprint on the best way to overcome their decks and spinners.what are the keys to victory in order to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy? In AFL terminology, you could say the India v Australia series is the 'preliminary final', with the Ashes series against England in England, 'the grand final'.
The kid will be earning big bickies alone in a year or two for representing his nation. We need his services more to have the best possible red ball prep to take on the Poms. CA has to start to prioritize India and England by having our Test guys primed with red ball prep, not bloody useless white ball. They need to impress on these guys that playing Tests for your country takes precedence over any other format.A bit harsh saying a 23 year old should knock back life changing money for 8 weeks work IMO.

True. Just hope he does not pick up one in the IPL and miss the Ashes.Could also get a career ending injury.
