Ashes Squad 2025

[Mr Redknapp]

Even without Cummins, their attack is still pretty useful.

Its still going to be tricky for our batsmen. We're one wicket down already with Crawley.

I dunno like..he was arguably the best batsman in the last Ashes series for England. Those faster bouncier pitches should suit his stand and deliver style better too..this England team has a habit of punching well above its weight

Edit: just checked Zak scored 480 in that series the most by and Englishman

Good practice for the Ashes this

 

[Aidan11]

Another big defeat in NZ. We're just going further and further behind in ODI cricket.

We should have been doing better preparation than this for the Ashes.

Difficult to see the purpose of this white ball serie. Come over without time to acclimatise then back to England for downtime then one warm up game before Ashes. That snacks of arrogance

 

[Fleagle]

It’s not if you average 31 mind

Maybe do it as most tests with lowest average as opposed to most runs.

Pedantically, Sachin wins that one as well. No player with as many tests as him has a lower average.

We certainly should have some cover actually playing during the Ashes.

 

[scotch]

Duckett and Smith could do with some runs mind.
Root needs to take advantage of Cummins being out to get that 100 as it leaves Hazlewood as his main worry instead of 2 bowlers

 

[Inside Forward]

Duckett’s form is worrying me. Been abysmal since the start of August.

Wonder if we just play Overton as a specialist #3

Has Glenn McGrath predicted a 5-0 whitewash yet?

Looks like Brendan Doggett might be in the Australian Ashes squad.

Can't say I was that impressed with him at DCCC to be worried if he was picked.

 

[Parkside]

Can't say I was that impressed with him at DCCC to be worried if he was picked.

Nor would he have been impressed with the Durham March/April climate. Hardly likely to bend his back in those conditions.

He might have improved if he was able to play the 8 games we signed him up for, instead of the four he was only allowed to play.

I can't believe we didnt check this out properly. Oh wait, yes I can.

Even better in that case, weak as piss

He did alright tbf but no better than you'd expect really. He certainly didn't look like he was a top level bowler IMO.

4 nil to the cheats.

Wonder if we just play Overton as a specialist #3

Wonder if Baz is asking him to reverse his test retirement

 

[Aidan11]

I hope not.
