The 24-year-old Surrey wicketkeeper Ben Foakes has been included in the squad for the first time alongside Somerset fast bowler Craig Overton.

Hampshire top order batsman James Vince returns to the squad for the first time since August 2016 and will be looking to add to his seven caps. Yorkshire batsman Gary Ballance is back in contention for a Test spot after suffering a fractured finger in the second Test against South Africa in July.

Hampshire leg-spinner Mason Crane, who has spent most of the summer with the England Test squad, is selected as one of two specialist spinners.

On the other hand Aussie has a serious bowling attack with each one capable of shredding poms to pieces actually even Lyon and sokie are threat too

• Lyon took 22 in two test but in Aus.he is most unlikely to take 7 in 5 tests.Mitchell  who married with Miss Healy is still doubtful
• To deliver 100% for test as fast bowler but Haze yes too good but Australia too have problem in their middle order batting

[SK_IH]

this ashes will be riddled with so many mediocre cricketers from both sides

this could be a very competitive series because both sides are capable of collapsing anytime but aus have s;light edge because they are playing at home.Warner and Smith will be looking forward to 2-3 centuries each

No Mark Wood?

All eyes are on Jimmy Anderson this series. Similar to how the last time the Ashes happened in Australia, a poor performance can retire some of the older English players. 

 

He has a bowling average of 38 and a bowling strike rate of 70 there. If he has a bad series there, there may be pressure to axe him.
