7 down in no time  :o

Are we allowed to get carried away that we will do some damage in Adelaide  ;) Another hot spell of bowling from the man that wasn't named by the press last tour.

Is there any reason that Broad isn't playing this game?

I'd have thought this would have been the game Eng played almost full strength seen as its at a test venue and extra D/N match practice



 Broad hasn’t lasted an ashes tour for a while some of the games are back to back so tough for the bowlers

I think crane is going to play-the issue then is you need plenty of seam bowling to cover jimmy and broad so they don’t get knackered. He could be bowling heavy in the first test to cover

The batters have got to stand up if we do that

Was grumpy I couldn't pick two spinners. You would want Laker and Warne in your team and with Botham, Lillee and McGrath you have enough seam up bowling. Add Gilchrist and you are just fighting over who will join Bradman in the batting order.

Stuff not being able to pick guys out of position , pick more than one allrounder,  two spinners etc . Anyway , for what its worth ( without their restrictions) :
1 G.Boycott
2 H.Sutcliffe
3 D.Bradman
4 W.Hammond
5 S.Waugh
6 A.Gilchrist
7 K.Miller
8 I.Botham
9 S.Warne
10 J. Thomson
11 F.Tyson

If it was a spinning track, then swap one of Thomson or Tyson for Laker .

With Hammond and Waugh in that side you could swap Tyson out for Laker

Does Liam Plunkett have an irrational fear of spiders that I don't know about?

@Buzz  Yes. Doesnt even get in the Sussex team. Disappointing call up. I'd rather ask Chris Jordan back. Or speed up Jofra Archers qualification.

If it comes to the point where Garton has to actually play a test we're either:

A) 4-0 down going into the last test
B) 4-0 up going into the last test
C) Broad, Anderson, Woakes, Overton, Curran etc are crocked and we're already up the creek without a paddle.

So I wouldn't worry too much.

I'll take some credit here ;)

Given that the available spot is for effectively a 6th choice seamer, I'd rather see a bolter called up than a steady bowler like Plunkett - Plunkett's not going to let anyone down but if whoever is in the squad as the 6th seamer gets to actually play a test then we'll probably be in need of a bit of inspiration! George Garton/Tom Helm/Tom Curran perhaps.

edit: ah, Tom Curran. The predictable option really, hard to argue too much with that.
Highly unlikely he'll play, but the romance of a young tearaway quick getting surprisingly selected by Bayliss and ripping holes in Australia is hard to resist! He did do pretty well for he Lions in the summer if I remember right.
