Ok, summer’s gone but the cricket goes on. Well, hopefully. This thread could be a lot shorter if we choose to add Australia to our no-tour list. Anyway, first up is the T20 World Cup which kicks off in just 12 days on the 17th October with a Super Sunday double header opening up with Oman v Papua New Guinea followed by Scotland v Bangladesh. We have to wait to the 23rd for England’s opening game against the WIndies. I see the squad was announced yesterday with no real surprises. The surprise came today, and will be a source of great delight to one of our regular cricket posters. Unfortunately Sam Curran is out, which means his bro’ is in. Welcome back Tom. |

To the detriment of the longer game. |

No surprises, but one glaring omission.

Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot? Correct. Normally I’d disagree with you for T20 generally but for this particular tournament in the UAE I’d certainly have him in the squad. |

Perfect opportunity to postpone The Ashes for 12 months (mainly because I've saved up and would be able to go a test next year 😅) And if someone can explain why we're omitting Root when: Smith is going Williamson is going Kohli is going Play your best players. |

I like my Batsmen to get us over the line, not toss away their wicket because they can't run properly between the wickets. One summer does not a swallow make. 😉 |

Vaughan is all over Instagram saying the Ashes is on(no surprise). He doesn't think that many players will pull out(again, no surprise).
Personally, I can't wait for it.

Well, I predicted a 4-0 hammering some months back and nothing has happened to make me feel any more confident about England's chances down under, so I'll stick with that.
Anyone else fancy a cheeky pred on the outcome?

Anyone else fancy a cheeky pred on the outcome? I don't think it will be 4-0, I think we will win at least 1 test. People need to remember the last series over here, this Australian side is very poor compared to past series. Granted we aren't great either, but they couldn't even beat us in 2019 with a very poor side we had and only kept the urn as they already had it. I think it will be very tight, both teams have decent attacks and it will be about which teams batters stand up and grind out some tough runs. |

So we name our squad for the Ashes tomorrow. It looks a certainty that Stokes won’t be in that squad, with Archer and Stone already ruled out. Sam Curran also a doubt with a back injury.
We’ll take a pretty big squad over as I believe the plan is that we’ll be playing intra-squad games for our preparation. That will be cut down do a final squad of 18, much of which I imagine is already decided.
The certainties:
Burns
Hameed
Malan
Crawley
Root
Pope
Bairstow
Buttler
Woakes
Robinson
Anderson
Broad
Wood
Leach
The uncertainties:
Sibley
Lawrence
Vince
Foakes
S Curran
Overton
Mahmood
Bess
Parkinson

Your list is pretty much spot on I’d imagine barring players pulling out. |
