My Ashes 17

Warner
Burns
Usman
Smith
Head
Patterson
Wade
Renshaw

Paine

Stonis

Lyon
Ahmed

Cummins
Starc
Haze
Copeland/Tremain
Richardson

Copeland a very ITSTL call. I can see the logic, but I think our options in that role (slower seamer type who don't just blast out attacks) are better than you'd think.

Don't really see Fawad as a Test option either.

Does it really matter. Lohmann and even Yasir Shah beats him to a 100, now if he can get too 200 prior to 36 tests, that would be something

You should chill out, friend.

When did you become a mod?

 

[the big bambino]

I'm sure its just well intended advice and shouldn't be misconstrued as the passive/aggressive pile on that it misleadingly appears to be.

Bambino, I don't really care. He was right if you substituted the word "player" with "fast bowler" in the original post.

I was not and an still not having a go our wanting to start a debate. There's nothing to debate anyway. If Cummins takes six wickets in the next test he's the Australian fast bowler who will reach 100 wickets in less tests than any other since the 19th century.

relax. I don't get why you are so worked up over a guy slightly misstating a record

 

[aussie tragic]

I don't know what all the fuss is about? I thought it was an unwritten rule that any bowler below 140 kph isn't a real bowler anyway. D K Lillee to forever gold the fast bowler record

This is a magnificent post

 

[GoodAreasShane]

13 frontline seam bowlers across the two squads, certainly not short on options. Although the with the likelihood of injuries striking at some point it is not a terrible idea

 

[jimmy101]

Anyone reckon Hilton Cartwright might get another crack at international level at any stage?

He'll be lucky to keep his spot in the WA/Scorchers team at this rate

 

[Dan]

It's Pucovski. With a c, not a k.

I have no idea why it annoys me so much but it really does.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The dots and dashes give me immense power.

 

[Second Spitter]

Head is proof that the strategy of flinging sh!t against a wall and hoping it sticks works.
