hope they don't pick Giles AND Panesar. Can't see the point of them both going.

my point is that they're two left arm spinners and there's no point ever playing them both. I'd pick Dalrymple as the second spinner, to enforce the batting lineup and to offer a different problem for the Aussie batsmen

It's a shame that MacGill is Australian really. He's a wonderful bowler yet never gets to play because of Warne.

Can't believe they're considering taking james anderson on yet another tour - give Jon Lewis or Stuart Broad the nod. It's inevitable they're going to give 'Extras' mahmood a place too, but I reckon he might turn out akright one day....even harmison was wayward at the start

Can't believe they're considering taking james anderson on yet another tour don't have a problem with being one of the eight players working with paul terry in perth and playing grade cricket. remind me how he did on his last tour - to india, the swing bowler's graveyard, rather well wasn't it? |

I hope Jimmy does go,it was a massive shame he got injured when he did,he played so well in India,also he was a revelation the last time he was Down Under.Mahmood will go too,no problems with that considering his form in the last couple of tests.

Good news,the BBC have won the rights to show highlights of the Ashes.Just hope there're on at a better time than the last Ashes series,Channel Fours' coverage of the last series was bad. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/5338396.stm |

said it above, but gutted about Anderson - I'd loved top be proved wrong but I just don't think he adds anything - he doesn't offer anything different, so won't be picked unless the others are unfit, and even then, I;d rather have Broad, Lewis, Tremlett....even Andy bloody Caddick!
From the academy squad it looks like it'll be Shah or Key to come in should there be any batting injuries - Ramprakash was mooted in some circles or even Crawley, both had brilliant county seasons - hardly forward thinking, but woul;d've been interesting! Not as if you can put them in an 'academy' squad though!
Prior or Foster should've gone instead of Jones.
