The thing about Maxwell is he is vastly experienced, our squad is heavy with rookies.

Pat Cummins is now ruled out of the Ashes a top class bowler and a half decent batter who is close to all rounder status .This is a blow against Australian prospects.

I'm pretty sure he's out of the first match but not sure of the series.

Could be let's see a lot of kidology (they can't arrest you for it) in the Ashes!

This would not surprise me one jot.
Australia will prove far too strong.

There squad is the weakest in a generation,Cummins (captain and best bowler) is injured for at least the first Test (Perth) so hope springs eternal. We have some excellent players such as Brook, Root,Stokes and we have the two fastest bowlers in Wood and Archer the other bowlers are very good Atkinson and Carse, the Wicketkeeper Smith is outstanding . We have a much better tail,better led and a surfeit of top class bowlers. No reason to go all grumpymort. The betting is fairly tight everything to play for.

Nathan Lyon is one of the best off spinners and our batting has been tested before on hard wickets.
