Road to the 2015 Ashes in England

Stapel

International Regular
So, now I've got tickets for Trent Bridge (day 4) and Edgbaston (day 4).

Regards, Stapel, proud sponsor of the British economy.

Starting to grow in confidence for the Ashes. England regaining some kind of home form, Australia still having only won test matches in two different countries for three years, and not having won a series in England since 2001. Think the series could be determined by a few important players.

Could you tell me where is England's national stadium?
Australia's national stadium is Melbourne Cricket Ground, right?

Not if he takes 2 wickets in the WI series and Fawad takes 15.
Nah unless Lyon looks entirely toothless and Fawad looks like a Warne-Murali hybrid, I'm taking Lyon in the Ashes irrespective of wickets taken in the WI.

No reason to chop and change on the basis of one series unless Lyon is super-inept and Fawad is uber-brilliant; short-termist form junkie selection sucks.

I gave up on Willow when I had to cancel my CC to stop my sub years ago. There are streams around to watch.

I had heard that it was difficult to unsubscribe from willow but I didn't have any problem.

If you know of any streams can you please pm me.

Cheers

I cancelled and they still kept charging my CC. Ignored emails and the phone number on record with their bank was out of service. Scum.

But Lyon hasn't done enough to keep his spot. He bowls darts and can't tie down an end, he has worse stats than others who've been dropped before him. He can't field well or bat. Granted those last things Ahmed isn't strong on either, but there are other options.

This is like the sixth time you've said this and every single time it's been pointed out to you that literally everything in this post is wrong, so I guess there is persistence to be admired here.

- flights the ball, gets drift and turn (doesn't bowl darts)
- fields particularly well in the gully
- isn't the greatest bat but is far from the worst and can hang around
