Moeen is having a deep think about whether he fancies this Ashes call up. Be funny if he says yes only for them to go with four seamers and he has to carry the drinks.

Also doesn't send a great message to the next in line if he says no.

Interesting that Dan Lawrence played for Essex tonight?

Looks as if Mo is going to play then.

His Insta post this morning seems to suggest so.

Not a go at Ali but... this isn't a great look for people toiling on the county circuit.

Slap in the face to every English spin bowler and spin bowling all-rounder. Moeen has bowled in one of his last five games and has 3 wickets in his last 10.

Who exactly is toiling on the county circuit right now? Not that I agree with Moeen's selection too much but I'm not sure anyone is really putting their hand up

Besides, if there's an environment where Moeen *could* thrive, it's maybe this one under Stokes and McCullum

I think picking Mo is a little bit of a backwards step. A lot to ask of someone to come into an Ashes series when they haven't really bowled much red ball. As it is a young leggie like Ahmed.

You'd think if Stokes isn't bowling much, they'd want reliability and tight overs to rotate the quicks, so Dawson would seem sensible. However, who knows what they plan is with Stokes and McCullum! 😆

Totally get those on here saying it’s a backwards step and those spinners playing now in the Championship get overlooked. I do t think it’s ideal myself but look at what England had as options

Ali
Rehan
Dawson
Bess.
Parkinson
Crane

Of the above personally I would of gone Dawson or Rehan. Rehan being a massive risk but he has bags of potential.

We love Mo but he leaks runs and could get hit out of the attack.

Leach is by an absolute street our best spinner so this is a real blow
I’m not convinced Stokes can play a seamers role

He hasn't played proper cricket for 18 months.
