If going with 16 then I would rest Anderson for The Ashes.

 

[mikemanc]

Rest him? He's only played a few one dayers in the last 6 months.

Hales won't be in, I'd be surprised if Taylor was. 1 of Lyth, Trott or Lees will be picked instead of Hales, or 2 of them if Robson is dropped.

Robson is a crap Aussie. He shouldn't be anywhere near the team IMO.

 

[Parkside]

Robson is a crap Aussie. He shouldn't be anywhere near the team IMO.

True but I bet he's included showing the Middlesex bias of Gus Fraser.

 

[mikemanc]

Robson is a crap Aussie. He shouldn't be anywhere near the team IMO.

I agree but I'm not so sure he'll be written off so quickly by England

Genuinely interested who you would drop for him? Ballance and Root were immense last summer

 

[hudson88]

@MichaelVaughan: Roger the rum man tells me Mark Wood from Durham will be on the plane to the West Indies with @ECB_cricket ... Good selection IMO

 

[Bri]

Telegraph this morning mentions
Trott (as opener)
Billings
Adil Rashid
Tredwell (because Modern's fitness is in doubt)

no mention of Wood or Stokes though.

Meanwhile The Independent says Adil Rashid, Trott and Wood.

Wood and Stokes definitely in

 

[Bri]

The Guardian says Wood will go in place of Woakes depending on the view the selectors take of his (Woakes) stress injury to a foot.

Otherwise they go for Robson and Bairstow but not Stokes.

Looks like it is the first squad that has not been leaked to the media 24hrs early for a few years.
