The Ashes 2019

[Lightning McQueen]

Just get rid of on-field umpires, a garden stake behind the stumps to hold the bowlers hat

3rd umpire can review every delivery

Just have a naked hot chick stand there.

This will excite some of you fellas-
Tim Paine will be rested and won't play in Australia's 3 day tour match against Derbyshire starting tomorrow, Alex Carey has been drafted in to take the gloves for the match.

Warner, Head, Cummins, Hazlewood, Pattinson and Lyon won't play in the match aswell. Khawaja will skipper the side.

Not really, we all know the selectors wont have the balls to drop Paine

Thought someone on here said Carey was home?

Well their 20 Blast is still going.....he signed for Sussex and even played in a red ball fixture!!!

He's recently made scores of 56 and 69* in Sussex's last 4 day match last week so he's in some good form to come in for the tour match lol.

He will rejoin Sussex once the tour match is finished.

Thought someone on here said Carey was home?

He was packing on the weekend as his Sussex contract just finished (despite them wanting him to stay), obviously got a call from Aussie selectors.

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Some talk that the pitch at Old Trafford will turn big. Can't imagine the Poms preparing a turner with Jimmy coming back to team with Broad and Archer.

He didn’t have a county contract for red ball cricket but thought he was contracted for the whole T20 season which still has a month to run

Why isn't Warner playing this match? Surely with the form he's in he needs all the practice he can get, or, have the selectors already made the decision to axe him?

i hope so

I think the other blokes needed batting practice even more than him (with the exception of Labuschagne). Which is a bit of a worry.

I assume that they're only playing eleven.

Didn't he hold us together in the first dig of the 3rd test?

Can we afford to keep him?
This has got the 2005 Ashes written all over it, they wouldnt bring in Hussey when all the punters wanted him. Cant remember who we carried that tour?
Carey is such an obvious replacement and the time is right now. I don't care who they make Captain, Smith will do it anyway
