Yes he is, absolutely wrong. We(England) are not great, but neither are the Aussies.Stokes is a massive blow if he does not tour(I think the ECB are about to announce he is not going because the police investigation is taking a long time)

We got world class players, but not many of them, the Aussies have about the same as us.

Australian bowling probably better than ours, our batting has more depth.

Could be close, I think thou to be honest, cook,root,Stoneman, and bairstow are going to have to score very heavy.

And Chris woakes needs a very good tour, he has it in him.....

Couldnt agree more particuarly regarding Woakes England cant leave it to Anderson and Broad especally now if theres no Stokes can he deliver match winning bowling for England in oz hope he can but not convinced

Bit odd to me the sun got access to the CCTV and then find two witnesses the police were looking for but couldn�t find

Yes! That's what I was thinking, they come forward in the press the day of the press conference to leave for Oz..

I dunno something is not right here, maybe I'm off on the wrong road but it seems a bit weird, the Sun seems to have all the exclusives in a modern world of social media where not much can be kept secret.

Supposedly the police will make an announcement next week about he case, if that's the two guys have been found and will back stokes up, it's a bit late now.

Whatever happens it appears there is something Stokes and his legal team can grip onto, and no doubt they will.

Just be the by the time limit for the coppers to charge Stokes has passed so unless there is new evidence he will be on the plane.

Shock Horror! There is corruption within the Britsh Judicial and Legal systems! I never would have believed it

Lets be honest - if Tony Blair can still go about his business, the bankers who gambled other peoples hard earned cash are still counting their earnings and Piers Morgan is free to chat (No Swearing Please) to whoever is lonely enough to listen then the least we can do is embrace the corruption and get that lad Stokes on the plane. What he has done is nothing in comparison to Illegal Wars and Phone Hacking.

If these two gay lads coming forward (no pun intended) lead to Stokes being involved with the Test matches I will wear a rainbow vest and denim hot pants to the WACA. Go on the fake gays!

Money talks... They sold their story.

I'm sure you are right Woody. I often wonder if we have any journalists on the forum who know how the press works, I'm not talking financial times correspondent, I mean daily star, Sunday sport, you know really grass roots scandal down-in-the-dirt white Mac and camera sort.

Is there a way to listen to Ashes via some streaming service for folks in US?

It�ll be on TMS with the BBC. You�ll probably be able to listen directly through the BBC website or maybe their app.

If you do wear a rainbow vest and denim hot pants just remember the usual forum rules - it didnt happen /doesnt exist without photos , detailed specs are mandatory, and InternalTraining will need to know if its got a bow and a thick toe !

Thank you. Hopefully BBC will not restrict it based on geolocation.

No Country restrictions on live bbc radio I don�t think. Always get people having a mention on TMS from some obscure location around the world.

Well , after a round of shield games no batsmen have really grabbed a hold of the number 6 spot , although cartwright did ok with a 60 odd . Khawaja's place was always safe but nice to see him get a ton . And the keepers spot is still debatable too.
Probably the best thing this round was Starc getting 8for with the pink ball at Adelaide. ....looks like anderson and woakes wont be the only guys reaking havoc during the Adelaide test....although I'd love to see sayers given a go with the new ball there while hazlewood sits out for one test.

Yep it's really interesting being able to watch the Shield games to see how the Aussies are going etc...

Cricket Australia website has loads of great video links to matches if you fancy watching...

Ominous viewing below - Starcs wickets including an absolute nut to get Travis Head 1st ball.
