Aren't Anderson and Broad's records in Australia 'surprisingly' good?

Right, first test starts this week.

Aussies have named their team already.

Australia XI for First Ashes Test: Marcus Harris, David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitch Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.

Oh and the Perth test has been cancelled, so will be moved somewhere TBC depending on the Rona...

Usually I would have a near certain Eng team but at the moment I don't.

It looks as if it will be
Burns
Hameed
Malan
Rooooooot
Stokes
Bairstow (Pope?)
Buttler
Robinson
Leach
Broad
Anderson

On a pretty green pitch, but to be honest Woakes may play and or Wood, I haven't heard yet.

Did you see the photo of the Gabba pitch 2 days out, very green, I realise it won't look like that come the toss, but there is weather about.

I think they will pick Bairstow but I would have liked to see Pope myself, he scored runs in similar conditions in SA.

I think they will seriously consider 4 seamers in the side.

The fact the Pink Ball test is straight after this one may mean Broad is kept fresh for that though.

Lots of questions..

We will have 4 if Stokes bowls and still room for a spinner if needed.
That’s how important he is for the team even if it’s a few overs starting back.

I’m not sure about Broad, just back from an injury but if there is any movement I think I would want Anderson and Robinson as the first 2 names.

Not writing off Broad thou, he had Warner on toast no so long ago

Now we know why there is no leaking team

Anderson is out injured.  Woakes will likely play. Not a bad thing in my view.

Pope is in over Bairstow. I'm so keen for him to do well!

Good spot Billy, it has been a very long time since there was no Broad or Anderson in an England team, this may happen tonight.

England have named a 12-man squad for the first Ashes Test at Brisbane

Root
Broad
Burns
Buttler
Hameed
Leach
Malan
Pope
Robinson
Stokes
Woakes
Wood

Ollie Pope is selected in the squad ahead of Jonny Bairstow.

Also I love this as a batting order. 😂

Where did you hear he was injured? All the interviews they are very adamant that Jimmy is just being managed to be ready for the Pink Ball Test - although they would say that.

I am glad they have gone with Pope , whether they play Leach will just be pitch dependent I suppose. Woakes does make the batting order a lot longer though.

Not playing Anderson is probably the right thing to. I really pray that they pick Leach and stop this all seamer nonsense

They have tested Jimmy with an eye on the next match. Woakes in still makes it a good seam attack if he plays plus an extra batter.

Surprised but pleased Pope is in, thought they would go with JB
