I think the team you've picked is decent, aye, will be happy if they go with that. I think the squad selection shows their intention at the moment is to play one of Livingstone/Jacks though. We'll see...

Wow that's a stinker. While I suspect he probably in fact does bowl too slowly to succeed internationally, Parkinson must feel pretty ****.
I suppose the flat decks will give Crawley a boost. Might get his FC average above 30 again.

Yeah this is fine but it makes it weird that they have not brought more pace bowlers.

Especially as it is 3 back- to- back Tests. Usually a squad is 16 but only 15 makes me think they will see if any of the Lions bowlers look good and add one at a later date.

You mean like the last Ashes? They were the greenest pitches I've seen. If there anything like that this series you won't even need Leach.

He meant the Australian tour of Pakistan.

Had a miserable County season after being dropped from the Test side, so shuffled back down the line for now I guess.

What a fantastically bad squad selection by the mighty England.

I'm really shocked he wasn't picked. I don't think he's great or anything - I don't even think he's good - but he's better at everything in red ball cricket than Jacks by a long way, and he does seem to have improved his game lately. I guess turning it the same way as Leach might have counted against him, but they've only picked *one* specialist spinner in the squad which is another oddity.
A lot was said about Livingstone's selection but I don't actually hate that as a punt so much - he was a properly good red-ball batsman back before he became a T20 circuit star, and he did well for the Lions at times too. That was a while ago now so it definitely is a punt, but it's a punt I can see some upside to.
Jacks ahead of Parkinson and Dawson is so weird though.

Dawson not even in the Lions squad. Not that I'm a huge fan particularly, but neither can I see what Patterson-White and Carson have done to get in ahead of him. At least Dawson has been playing Div 1 cricket.

Injured last game of the season sadly. Would have been with the Lions otherwise (you'd hope).
