They will pick the same squad with some players who should and some who have proved time and time again not up to it.

The bowling is a major concern to seamer seems to be able to stay fit for more than 2 minutes.

Can’t see anything other than another thrashing depressing that this could easily be the third tour in a row down under without a win.
