Just seen the Ashes squad. Thought we were going to be in for a rough ride and now seeing the squad I'm off to put a bet on 5-0.
Talk about uninspiring. Just a long list of batsmen who've made fuck all runs at test level and haven't even done all that well this summer for their counties by all accounts. I know Hales is thought of as just a white ball smasher, but surely he's got to be given a go?
No Plunkett either. More importantly, where is Finn?! I don't follow county cricket so maybe someone can put me straight but unless I was tripping I'm sure he got 8 wickets recently for his county. If fit he's an absolute no brainer in Australian conditions.
