Re: Ashes 2019 - flyboy77 - 07-25-2019
Should be Cummins, Hazelwood, Pattinson and Starc.
Should Marsh be played as an all rounder?
I hear he's back bowling 140+.... and moving it a bit.

Bancroft batting himself back into the opening gig!

The blokes who spray it can still have bad days on poor wickets, and Starc is the prime global candidate for a bowler who can have a bad day on a crap wicket!
Thommo was a classic for this, some days on any wicket including Indian or West Indian roads he was unplayable, but he was just as likely to go at 0/100 on a Gabba green top!
Someone like Siddle or Hazlewood, even Behrendorff could be unplayable on a sticky wicket.
Hussey reckons Siddle will be in contention if the Poms dish up a green top. His first choice bowlers are Cummins and Pattinson.

Starc must play the 1st Test if fit....
I know he can bowl garbage at times but he is a wicket taker and a lefty.And he scares them.
If he fails he gets dropped - just like everyone else?

Warner and Bancrott batted extremely well on that deck as did Laburschagne in the first innings. Warner said he's never come across a pitch like it. Up and down, lots of sideways and a heap of swing both ways. The whole lot, which he said was rare.

I like what I see in Marnus, real effort player, plays with real energy and application. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays and the Goat carries the drinks.

There will be a sh..tload of sandpaper sold in London next week if Warner and Bancroft get picked!

First test is at Edgebaston.....in Birmingham...right in the middle of the Barmy Army/football hooligan stronghold......you reckon this scheduling was an accident ?
Re: Ashes 2019 - flyboy77 - 07-26-2019
so it is, you get my drift nonetheless!

English second dig fall away rapidly as well. There's hope.
