Would you be pleased if you'd paid £80 to watch what is in effect an England A team? I wouldn't.Pleased with that squad, resting the main players and giving experience to some new ones.
I never pay to watch the shorter stuff, doesn't interest me that much. If people thought we wouldn't be resting players in between the two ashes series then they are a bit ******** so it serves them right.Would you be pleased if you'd paid £80 to watch what is in effect an England A team?

Just seen a few clips of Overton on Youtube. Looks pretty promising. Good pace, swings the ball, and looks pretty aggressive. I'm sure he'll be a handful in a few years, but can see him getting tonked if he plays this series. Twatto and Warner will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing Jordan and Overton.
Meh, you might be right, but I think they obviously see something in Overton they like, and are willing to look past performances because they think there's something to work with or he'll mange the step up to international cricket better than most. They did the same with Joe Root in all formats last year and that worked out well.At least Woakes has got past the 'we'll have a look at him in one-dayers, they don't count" stage, pity there's now three new guys in the same boat.
Is there even the slightest pretence to this any more? Think of someone like Napier consistently snubbed in favour of people like Overton because they might consider him for a winter tour.
International cricket that's really a glorified net. It's ****ed.
Also virtually a new team means that the winning ashes side actually is motivated anyway.should be an interesting series: the fact that the side that wins the ashes never really shows up mentally for the following ODIs should be nicely balanced out by the fact we're ****.
