Another day passes with no stokes announcement. A few things perhaps to consider

Are we ready to hand over the ashes with no ginger ninja?

Do we think this is the weakest Aussie team ever seen in ...Australia?

Can Steve smith keep up his phenomenal run scoring with a technique from the village green?

Do we secretly envy the Australian way of life and the fact some of their women are stronger than us men?

Do you know what a scooner is?

Do we really really really not miss mark Nicholas but wish the brilliant Richie benaud could commentate on just one more series?

So many questions we just don't know the answer too.

Roll on the 1st test.  :)


maybe i can answer on your behalf ?
yes
no (world series era bob simpson led side , anyone ?)
yes
yes
a boat of some kind ?
yes

Wade/Nevill/Bancroft/Alyssa Healy, Australian Cattle Dog/Backstop Vs Bairstow (because he is going to be in the side)

You hope?    ;)  https://www.cricket.com.au/video/jonny-bairstow-finger-injury-england-ashes-tour-match-townsville-cricket-australia-xi/2017-11-15

Certainly staking his claim to get the new ball ahead of Broad isn't he, wickets all over the place. Note that Overton's got a couple of economical strikes again too, first test line up is looking pretty obvious now!

It’ll be ridiculous if he doesn’t open the bowling! Broad hasn’t done anything in the two warm up games and I’m starting to think his place in the side could be under threat!

First teams 11 will be the current 11 with Anderson in for Crane, unless it looks like it's a two spinners job (unlikely IMO) in which case he'll be in for Overton.

Would prefer Ballance at 5 to Malan but he does deserve another series.

My main worry is that Vince is a walking wicket and we have Baøllance at 3 after he's droppped.

Broad has a bajillion Test wickets and nearly 300 international games worth of experience. They won't just drop him because he hasn't ran through a couple of club sides.

I don’t think he’s had the best summer either been a while since I’ve felt broad was a threat, although he’ll probably have a storming series now I’ve said that!

Against a team that were all out for 75 the previous week.

And how many did Anderson get opening the bowling with him against the same batsman?

When will you wake up?

When woakes stops performing... so what if this team got bowled out for 75 Australia were bowled out for 60 we weren’t saying in the next game whoever got wickets was crap because it was against a team who bowled out for less than 100
