Tin hat but I'd take Liam Plunkett

I think he is the safest bet, and when you are talking about Pudsey being the safest bet you know there is a lack of quality bowlers in county cricket with a yard of pace. .

No brainer if Wood isn't fit

So said I yesterday.......

I sincerely hope Archer or Plunkett is picked to go - purely from a pace/hostility point of view.

No brainer if Wood isn't fit

Even if he is fit, Wood's done nothing if note this season.

Surely the Aussie would give us some stick if we picked Archer he is still a West Indian.

Til when? Fatha is English iirc.

Still classed as a West Indian got to do his qualification time played for Windies u19s.

Pace is important out in Australia but that lad Porter from Essex looked unplayable the bits I have seen of him. OK so he's only 80mph but the same accusations were levelled at TRJ and most had him in their Ashes squad.

For me -

Cook
Stoneman
Root
Malan (he deserves a chance to prove himself)
Hales
Stokes
Bairstow
Ali
Woakes
Broad
Anderson

I put no value on your opinion as soon as I saw Malan

And neither has Plunkett in red ball cricket he's only played 2 first class games.

Touché, mate!

 

[DaveAngel]

The bowling is the big concern for me

Lack of pace definitely. Overton supposedly in contention anyone know how fast he is? Hope we don't take Ball

 

[Parkside]

Atherton predicts the Ashes squad in today's Times and the leading cricket writers normally have tip offs.
He includes,apart from the obvious picks,
Stoneman
Vince
Malan
Ballance
Foakes
Crane
Ball
C. Overton

Craig Overton is about 85 IIRC. His brother is faster.

 

[Twisted]

Craig Overton is about 85 IIRC. His brother is faster.

probably not that quick then, would be a surprise pick at that age

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Plunkett has only played 2 first class games all season?

Aye but Craig's brother is always injured. Mail predicts exactly the same squad.

Lions squad will probably be more interesting because they'll be the ones who'll be playing by the end of the series.
