Official Ashes Thread

I reckon England should be thinking in terms of any cricket Archer plays in the Ashes as being a bonus.

Don't need him in English conditions, either. Robinson, Broad, Woakes, Anderson, Potts, Wood and Stokes are a really potent attack over here.

I'd play Anderson, Broad (if Warner plays), Robinson and Leach.

Re the openers, Duckett is a seriously talented batter and it looks like he's done a fair bit of growing up recently.

I dont think they can rely on Stokes to bowl many overs. I think there will be a 4th seamer.

Id leave Leach out. Hes not good enough.

Leach is the best of a bad bunch , the cupboard is bare in the slow bowler department.

Dom Bess anyone ?

They'll play Leach. You need someone to bowl overs.

It'll be 3 seamers, Leach and Stokes will bowl a bit, as will Root.
