I hope we do at Edgbaston. Last time 18 wickets to the seamers.

a lot of the talking heads saying boland’s form will create a selection headache between him and haze, which is just stupid. haze has no right to demand a selection when he’s injured all the time and can’t get through a full test.
you could say the only tossup is between starc, who sucks, and haze, if you’re saying starc’s form dip is enough to warrant being dropped. but even then the answer is “michael neser”!

From an English point of view, I hope Boland doesn't play - he's just a relentless machine bowling ball after ball in the right area until the batsmen inevitably makes a mistake.
I'd be amazed if he didn't play on Friday. I think the Aussies will go with Starc. His fit and ready to go and whilst he can spray it about a bit, he takes his share of wickets.
If there are no doubts on Hazlewood, he could come in, but it would be a big call to drop Boland.

As Neser is not in the formal 17 man Ashes squad, pretty easy selection for 1st Test
Warner, Khawaja, Labuschagne, Smith, Head, Green, Carey, Starc, Cummins, Lyon, Boland
Hopefully Cummins and Starc shake off the rust shown in WTC final (Hazlewood can play in 2nd Test if Starc gets bazballed)

Yeah it would be a huge call to play Haze for the first test when you’ve got other options who are fit and have had a gallop in the past six months. Realistically he should be behind all of the other quicks in the squad right now.

Boland is definitely playing IMO.

I still think it's likely Boland will be omitted for Hazlewood

That would be a huge mistake in my opinion. We already have 2 bowlers who look underdone.
