2019 Cricket

England squad for Ireland Test: Joe Root (c), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Sam Curran, Joe Denly, Lewis Gregory, Jack Leach, Jason Roy, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes.

England squad for pre-Ashes camp: Joe Root (c), Moeen Ali, Jimmy Anderson, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler (wk), Sam Curran, Joe Denly, Lewis Gregory, Jack Leach, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.

Hmmmm

Seems like Roy has been inked in and IF we pick another batter it is Denly. Ali and Leach both in the squad, theyre only going to pick Ali though with them being a batter light it seems!

Wood injured himself in the final and looks like he'll miss the start of the Ashes at least :( Archer also got a side injury and being rested but expected to be fit. No Foakes disappointing but expected

Seems were planning on winning the Ashes by playing too many seamers, not enough batters, the wrong spinner and not a proper keeper :(

Hardly surprising though. There's a direct correlation between how right England have got selection in the ODI's to how wrong they have got selection for the test team.
 
Curran just got a couple of 50’s and a 5 for against Australia A or whatever team they were playing. Woakes v Curran for the final spot .

Thought Sisley may have nicked in in front of Denly, but not the case.
 
Lewis Gregory is having a stellar season and glad he is been given a chance to show how well he can bowl , he can also bat as well - think he can just swing and seam it a touch more than Curran. Also hope England are brave to give Leach the spot instead of Ali

Surprised that Sibley or Northeast aren’t given a call up

If Curran bowled right arm and played for Durham he'd be about 27th in line for a seamers berth lol. Be surprised if they dont play Woakes at Edgbaston but struggling to remember the last time I wasnt by our current test selectors lol

looks like theyll go in a batter light which will enable them to justify Ali over Leach
 
Starc and Cummins are going to eat these two alive. Roy almost out 2 in 2 balls only out there because Adair over-stepped and Burns looks a proper LBW candidate early on.
