brendan07 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 As expected, no real surprises. The surprises are in the A squads.
BeautifulGame Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Your prediction or have they announced already?
BeautifulGame Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 K saw the cricinfo article http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/857475.html Surprised to see Ashes squad announced so early.That too just after winning the world cup and not even the moment sink in particularly for the likes of Faulkner

Faulkner is awful in the long form. We have about 10-15 fast bowlers ahead, and his batting has a grand total of ZERO first class hundreds. no chance. He is rubbish in Shield cricket.
Scarves Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 So Ashes XI Warner Rogers Smith Clarke Voges Marsh Haddin Johnson Harris Hazlewood / Starc Lyon Hope they dont choose Watson in the XI. They'll go with Watto for the Ashes. He does well in England generally and his bowling is very useful. Plus he is a known quantity compared to Mitch Marsh at this stage.

Could have announced next week

Could have announced next week Sorry, been a very long day at work. The reason for the early announcement is that the County cricket signups close early next week, these other players that missed out could get a gig over there, talking Ferguson, Faulkner, Silk etc.
brendan07 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 They'll go with Watto for the Ashes. He does well in England generally and his bowling is very useful. Plus he is a known quantity compared to Mitch Marsh at this stage. It is closer than you think. This comes from the selectors. Watson will have to prove he can bowl 20+ overs in a test back to back. Don't be shocked if Watto bowls a lot in the Windies because of this. If not, M. Marsh will play.
BeautifulGame Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Where the heck is Patto? Injured in the Sheffield shield final .Check the cricinfo article
BlueBee Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Injured in the Sheffield shield final .Check the cricinfo article :((
brendan07 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Injured in the Sheffield shield final .Check the cricinfo article Out for 12 weeks, they have sent (or will send) him to Germany to get an operation, unless that has changed the last 3 days.
MCGGG Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah sucks about Patto, never should have played in the final as I heard he tweeked his hammy a couple of weeks prior, he should have been put on ice then.
MCGGG Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Out for 12 weeks' date=' they have sent (or will send) him to Germany to get an operation, unless that has changed the last 3 days.[/quote'] We (Collingwood) sent one of our players to Germany 8 weeks ago with the same soft tissue issues, Ben Reid his name is, we haven't been able to get him on the park for near on 2 years now, but so far so good since the Germany trip.
tweaker Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Australia A is going to tour India for 4 day test & odi.Indian selectors should choose those players who have high chances to make it to senior team
