I think Curran looks a good player, seen him live at Durham in the T20 against West Indies and he looked like he hurried the batsmen more than the other English lads, bowled slippery skiddy stuff similar to Stokes, something a bit different from the rest of the bowling line up imo.

Wood has been wrongly used by England
 if selected  he is your bang it in bowler no more than 5 over spells.
But it should be Plunkett the fittest of all the bowlers does nothing wrong  when he plays but is seen by the England camp as a one day specialist.

Completely agree we should be using him like the Aussies used Mitchell Johnson against England and South Africa. As for Curran I think he is a very good player but he should be competing with Overton for that position. I think Curran is being groomed for Broads position one day same for Woakes replacing Jimmy. I suspect he's in the squad for the experience and might play the odd game which is likely at the moment. If Ali isn't fit for the first test we are in big trouble.

The tour is a complete and utter disaster already.

Yes really.... I mean has anyone seen James Andersons Ashes diary? It's boring

So much so I was on you tube last night revisiting yet again Swannys brilliant videos from 2011.

As we started winning it just got better
we were really 500-1 at once stage

Pinch me I must have been dreaming

Come on the lads !!!! :)

I watched KPs 227 in Adelaide to make myself feel slightly better. Does the job for about 3 minutes.

I had to watch the 1st day of the Boxing Day Test in 2010 twice the other day.

We are English, although some of us are not exactly pure of blood, so we generally look on the pessimistic side.

However...... :) you cannot rule out the possibility Stokes does get on the plane, fights his way thru the crowd with the Aussies chanting(ironic really) ball and chain, ball and chain.....sledges all the Aussies on the way to the wicket hits a hundred and then bowls all you lot out.

Well....it's Ashes cricket, anything is possible right?

Celebrates with room service and call of duty just to be on the safe side.
