Road to the 2015 Ashes in England

[Antihippy]

Yeah let's not picked the bloke who averaged 8 with the ball in the last tour.

 

[adub]

Essex bats have had the order come down from the ECB to go easy on Siddle today and try and belt Haze out of the 1st test.

 

[Swingpanzee]

No way Haze will get dropped. He's as much a lock as a lock can be.

 

[NUFAN]

Really hard to believe they'd change the attack from last Test in order to cover for a bowler who wasn't playing in that Test anyway.

Yeah this.

Although some are really making Siddle out to be worse than he is. The champ took 8/54 in a Shield match less than 4 months ago.

context is everything

 

[WalkingWicket]

If someone calls Pat Cummins 'Cummo' one more time I'm going to explode.

 

[Gob]

Cummo

 

[WalkingWicket]

Cummo

*explodes*

 

[NUFAN]

I'm not sure who should join the squad.

Douglas Bollinger, Cummo or Gurinder Singh Sandhu are options.

 

[Gob]

Cummo already joined mate.

 

[Furball]

Yeah he gave Ryder too much room. Laced him through the off side.

Just saw Ryano downstairs. He's looking pretty cut up. Glad I didn't approach him for a pic, I only heard he'd retired after we sat down.

Nooooooooo

 

[Spikey]

yeah cant wait to find out

 

[Gob]

couple of late poles for haze and got 3 now. thank ****

 

[Spark]

The ball just got hit straight into the commentary box

 

[Gob]

game over.

 

[Tangles]

Don't feel great about Cummins being the replacement. Has he been playing FC somewhere?

 

[adub]

Last FC game was almost two years ago - South Africa A tour.

 

[aussie tragic]

I know the potential is there, but how does someone who hasn't played FC cricket in 2 years get selected for a Test tour?

Also, he's only ever played 6 FC games with 22 wkts @ 29.81

This

Guy obviously has all the potential in the world but he is, at best, a 10 over bowler until proven otherwise

 

[Tangles]

A. He's only a tourist and won't play
B. idiots think potential and short format bowling is all you need
C. He's behind Siddle anyway. See A

1 injury or form loss away from Siddle is an issue. How many guys do we have playing County cricket if needed?
