Ashes 2019 England Squad

[Gob]

Warner will have one or 2 decent innings, smith will be good throughout but other than that australia need to find 4 batsmen, at least in 2015 they had rogers. Both marsh' would be bunnies khawaja is lost any othee than australia and bancroft probably wont be in the next squad.

I'd definitely back Khawaja to do well in England. If he can succeed against the SA attack under light in Adeilaide he should do well over there. Shaun Marsh is also a very good batsman now who can do well against good attacks.

Suddenly I feel so much more confident about the away Ashes if these are the lineups being offered

The talk is of an Ashes side almost 2 years away, in a time frame where England start to look to the future instead of relying on cook, Broad and Jimmy pulling of some performances. Apart from Jimmy, the other 2 are nowhere near as consistent to last that long.

One can only hope.

Was just about to post my team, and i had gone for exact same top 7 as you. Havent seen anyone with the same anywhere else.

Cook
Hameed
Stoneman
Root
Malan
Stokes
Bairstow
Woakes
Broad
Leech
Anderson

12th man
Ali

Also think its time we broke the bank and prized nasser or vaughan away from television and gave them bayliss' job

I certainly hope Stoneman is not the man to be at 3 in 2 seasons time.

I like the idea of Leach being around but I don't see Ali being dropped if he can replicate his form pre Ashes. Hopefully England have a better pace bowling line up than that too.
