Don’t think the selectors should be taking anyone for just squad experience on an important tour.

Whichever one of the forum said the ECB wrote off this tour before it started may well be right. That Harrison bloke in interview seemed to back that up by mentioning one day teams success(which is true but this is tests!).

They could of left out Ali for Crane-Mo has been poor,and/or Wood in for Broad.

I can’t see why Crane is on the trip-missed opportunity.

Curran will be playing in Melbourne apparently.
I am delighted for him. I suspect that he may hasten the end of Broad's career.
Impeccable source once again... 😉

Team announced-

Cook
Stoneman
Vince
Root
Malan
Bairstow
Ali
Woakes
Curran
Broad
Anderson

So just 1 change Curran in for the injured Overton. Can't believe Crane isn't playing.

If it is only this change it makes you wonder if they would have made any changes at all if Overton was fit.

It always worries me when a new player gets blooded in this way - i.e third choice, young and relatively inexperienced at county level let alone international. There's always the chance that you'll tar someone's career for life with a poor show. That said - not a great deal of options out there at the moment!

From social media pictures the pitch looks white and dry.

So England did have options but choose not to use them.

A team thinking they can get 400 plus regularly would have 2 spinners.Or a least a specialist or an on form spinner.
