I think the sub-forum is purely the 'Ashes' tests.

I think the Odi's traditionally are a part of the "The Ashes" tour.

Only because Grant Elliott doesn't look where he's going IMO

Well at the very least I think this will be a far closer series for the poms. Australia's one day and 20/20 team is far better then the test side however knowing the selectors they will ignore all the superior one day players and instead use it as some sort of breeding ground for the tests. Which some people think is good but I have always being of the thought you pick your best side no other considerations.

Lots of people said Bresnan would be and he has proved us wrong. To be honest i would be more inclined to watch if guys like Woakes got a chance just to see how he does as he steps up in class.

Bres at least 5-6mph quicker than Woakes, tbf. Woakes might be useful on a sappy English seamer in May, but not convinced he'll go that well on the truer, bouncier decks.

Any particular reason why you think so guys? I can't see us needing a separate thread for each ODI like we do for the Ashes but I'm happy to revisit it if enough people raise relevant good points about it.

Who is the Australia ODI bowling 'attack'? Will Brett Lee be back?

Going to hate this series. The selectors have been making bizzare selections, the players haven't been performing well, we don't even have a 50-over comp and seven ODIs is too many. 
AND, I just know Copeland will get a call-up for this series. Even though he doesn't make NSW's OD and 20/20 sides. And as much as I love him, it would just be wrong.
He'd still gun it though.

He should be.
Johnson
Hauritz/Doherty
Lee
Dougeh (in for harris)
off the top of my head, Watson and Smith/another bit-part all-rounder also bowling. Probably missing someone. Tait's only just back from injury.
edit Clint McKay! Not sure if he's actually in the best team but he'll play in a few games.
WC squad gets announced after the 1st game I think so.

Wouldn't think so. Didn't even get named in the 30 man squad I thought? James Pattinson is the only one who might make a debut here.AND, I just know Copeland will get a call-up for this series. Even though he doesn't make NSW's OD and 20/20 sides. And as much as I love him, it would just be wrong.

He has just returned from injury for the Australian domestic Twenty20 competition. He has a couple of very big weeks ahead to prove himself.

Yeah he didn't, although he just got called up to the PM's XI squad along with Pattinson. I'm keen to watch that match, Monday on Fox Sports 1 at 9:30am!

I haven't gone over the squad that closely but surely Khawaja wouyldn't be in it. Nowhere near the Aus team in this format.
