Ashes Squad - who makes Noah's... erm ...cbnlg's ark?

FFS! An Ashes squad post and no business.

Come on, to Warner or not to Warner. Personally I don't want him there for personality and character reasons. But thinking about it when he bats the quntishness of both the Oz dressing room and the field of play will drop.( I crack myself up)

Qmy.... stop drinking the 4X illiterate beer. It will screw you up!

Bass Phillip Pinot my friend. Mrsq is probably putting a dent in some very fine whiskeys with farking coke so I'll drink Gippslands finest with a cheap nasty curry.

Australia A four-day squad: Tim Paine (c), Marcus Harris, Kurtis Patterson, Will Pucovski, Travis Head (vc), Peter Handscomb, Matthew Wade, Mitch Marsh, Michael Neser, Jon Holland, James Pattinson, Jackson Bird, Josh Hazlewood (vc), Chris Tremain

Australia A one-day squad: Travis Head (c), Matthew Wade, Will Pucovski, Peter Handscomb, Ashton Turner, Mitch Marsh (vc), D'Arcy Short, Kurtis Patterson, Ashton Agar, Michael Neser, James Pattinson, Josh Hazlewood (vc), Kane Richardson, Sean Abbott

2019-20 CA men's contracts: Pat Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Alex Carey, Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Marcus Harris, Travis Head, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Glenn Maxwell, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine, James Pattinson, Jhye Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa

Well the four day squad is a reasonable start.

So looks like they want to see more from KP2 before he's deemed worthy of a contract.

And less of Shaun Marsh before he's deemed worthy of no contract.

Hatful of cbnlg arseholes. KP2 and Puc are stiff. The qunt Hollow Man has no business being on the A tour. His turkey brother must be licking up cbnlg.

Must agree, h. Just WTF is he doing in any international squad??

And where's Monty?

Good question Skully.

Just heard cbnlg interview on SEN. Asked about KP2 and Month missing on CA contracts the Gnome said "I only learnt last week how the contracting system works".

If cbnlg was a dog, he'd be an inbred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Yappity yappity yap. The French got it right in lopping the heads off in bred royals.

A learned friend suggested that many of the likely suspects for a full fair dinkum Ashes squad are playing County Cricket, so why waste time picking them in an Aus A touring team to England.

Fair point.

The erudite mate is correct.

CA said as much.

Tho the credibility of CA is up there with Trump, Pell and Folau.

Let's hope Puddle continues his pathetic Aus summer form on the A tour, so that he gives absolutely, positively no reason to be given even a small smidgen of thought when the Ashes squad is being formulated and finalised.

Now 90% likely that I have have tickets to Lords.

And trying to extend the stay to see at least a few days at Headingley as well (plus some EPL matches).

Well if you're going to be in the area why don't you slum it at Rovers or Barnsley. Course you could always see a freshly relegated Huddersfield.

Seems Burns has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Hopes he will come good for the Ashes.

If not, then the remaining sandpaper man will be back?

Bancroft is simply not up to it.

Agree, h.

Harris and Warner will be the openers with Ooze as the backup opener/no. 3.
