What do you think Liam Plunkett has done wrong TT,he was the logical replacement for Finn wasnt he?,mind you he should have been included in the original party if you ask me,it is as if we want to handicap ourselvesNo surprise there Aya.

A question for you Blockmod,is Plunkett fit enuff to play Test Cricket? I thought he mainly played limited overs Cricket nowadays. UTCB
Hall Of Fame
Yes,he could bowl 4 or 6 over spells at 90 plus ,and bat well down the order and is an outstanding fielder,just cannot fathom out why he is not included
Hall Of Fame
He is a better fielder and batsman than Curran as well but I think his one day performances overshadow his first class record.
Having said that he bowled as fast a spell as I have seen at Scarboro' a couple of years ago and has matured as a person and as a cricketer and , for me, should have been in the original party as you say.
BTW, has Finn ever completed any series anywhere?
I fear they are dealing Joe a poor hand as he has no real firepower, no pace and no penetration at his disposal. Even Anderson's record in Aus is patchy at best
Rashid has to be trusted by the captain yet he has had his best year in International cricket this year but Crane got the call. Wild cards generally don't work on tour and yet the selectors carry on picking them.
Apparently he's fiestier and noisier in the dressing room- I reckon the Aussies will attack him from day one. Remember Simon Kerrigan- 1 match wonder - destroyed at the Oval in his 1 and only international.
Another interesting point is that Bayliss readily admits he has seen hardly any championship cricket yet picks the squad based on figures and the opinions of others. I think, unless Joe masterminds a miracle, he could well be on his way before next summer.

I only noticed yesterday that the Ashes aren’t on Sky but if anybody is interested, I managed to get the full BT Sports package free for a year just by extending my broadband and phone contract. I’ll cancel sport in a year’s time unless they offer something else.
Looks like I’m in for a few late nights.

Big grouse with us sky sports subscribers if it wasn't for the fact we play the best football in the championship so they've got us on regular id pack it in.
