Well it's not going to be anyone else is it.Reckon Eng will win with either Anderson or Broad taking a bagful
Seeing as we've had the foreigner thing rubbed in our faces for years, can we blame it on Johnny now that we're crap?HMM, well I did want changes but they did rather revolve on us having a back-up spinner, and actually we've dropped our only likely one. Maybe KP will spin a few.
Rankin, I'm not a fan, but he's nearly 30 now, and we have had him stinking up A team squads for donkeys-years, so I guess we've got to give him a go. Be interesting to see how Borthwick and Ballance go though.
The make-up of the side just looks short on everything, spin, batting, 'keeping, and even seam-bowling, but ho-hum.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English/Kiwi/Saffie/Zim/Irish Dead.....

England caps in batting order. Only Broad between Bairstow (14) and Anderson (92)What was this?
Hey why do you think I'm bringing it upSeeing as we've had the foreigner thing rubbed in our faces for years, can we blame it on Johnny now that we're crap?
Haha, I lol'd. It's the perfect mix of youth and experience they're always talking aboutCaps for the England XI
Lol yep.Beefy saying England were relectant to admit Australia improved throughout the 13 series. The same guy said before this series that he saw no reason why anything would change and that England would win comfortably.
Good job they don't have an offie...Eight left handed batsman in the England side. KP, Bell and Bairstow the only right handers.
Good thing he's not as good as former off spinner Graeme Swann.Good job they don't have an offie...
None of them bowl left-handed, freakishly enough.OptaJim @OptaJim 2m
3 - @ECB_cricket become the 3rd team to name eight left-handed batsmen in a Test XI (West Indies, twice in 2000). Southpaws. #Ashes
Can't be too often that you have 3 blokes bowl right handed and bat left handed either (Borthwick, Broad, Stokes)
And i'm beaten to it by cabinet
