Burginho's thoughts may well end up being threadworthy

Cowan tipped too. So probably Watson/Rogers Cowan Clarke Smith Warner

I'd be shocked if Hughes wasn't picked, but I guess he was given plenty of opportunity, perhaps a sign that he really need to convince them he should play, and maybe he didn't

 

[Burgey]

Bit harsh if Hughes isn't picked on form. He's batted well in the lead ups by all reports.

 

[Ruckus]

thats just ****ed if hughes doesnt play. No way does cowan deserve it over him.

 

[Spark]

Holy **** I completely forgot about Hughes. Like, legit forgot he existed

 

[Spikey]

Spark pls

That looks sick. So much inspiration.

 

[Spikey]

there has been a curious lack of confirmation that Hughes is set to play though. It's assumed , but last night it was sorta assumed Warner would play...

Don't have a problem if Hughes is replaced by Smith as apparently the pitch is very, very dry and the latter is a far superior player of spin

I wonder when the last time a match/tour thread on CW had 486 posts in it before I'd made one. A bloody long time I reckon.

You'll have the please of my company from lunch onwards today though. Just to make you all a little bit more excited.

 

[Spikey]

in case outsiders are wondering, Steve Smith has become the People's Champ within a section of Australian fans simply because he has a good attitude, plenty of hustle and isn't likely to get drunk and end up in a gaol cell.

Right on cue

BREAKING from @malcolmconn: Aus #Ashes XI: Watson Rogers Cowan Clarke Hughes Haddin Siddle Pattinson Starc Lyon

 

[Spikey]

He's a regular Darryl Strawberry basically. Except for the legal issues.

Right on cue

We're only going in with X?!?!

 

[Top_Cat]

Risky move going in with only 10 players but I like it.

 

[NUFAN]

Interesting approach Boof going in with 10 man but I'm still on his side along with uv..



EDIT - Ah ****, I just did a Tavaré.

 

[Ruckus]

Yeah so no Warner, not that surprising really. Cowan is ****ing lucky though, better make the most of this. Smith unfortunate.

Edit: 10 men hmmm. Warner or Smith then.

Gotta be the most self indulgent post of all time?

Love ya PEWS

Brilliant except for the fact that there are only 10 names on the list #warnerwasrightmalcolmis****ingclueless

 

[Spikey]

I mean, the most talked about position and they manage to forget about it
