He's an okay player of spin and a very handy off spinner. I'd have him in the team.He's crap, himself.
He looked very good in the Indian tour.

Well a lot of those that have been picked are new names. Maxwell has been beyond average since that IPL that took place in the UAE. I can't remember a single innings of note from him since around 2014/15 - and it's no surprise that he averages in the mid 20s in ODIs since 2015. As for his test performances, think he scored a hundred in India; other than that, he has scored 230 odd runs in 13 innings - the epitome of shit.Perhaps, but he's a considerably better bat than some of those they have picked.
He's played 7 tests, and was the scorer of Australia's last ton in conditions which will resemble this series who is available for selection. He also has a first class average considerably better than either Labuschanage (whose name I am not learning to spell if that's wrong) or Head, and is probably Australia's second best player of spin after Marsh.Well a lot of those that have been picked are new names.

Had a look on Cricinfo at the players I haven’t heard beforeThat batting lineup has 30/5 written all over it. Although the Marsh brothers are decent players of spin.
Who the feck is this Marnus and Brendan Doggett??
Also no Hazelwood and Cummins is a blow.
Rohit Sharma is the captain and Dhawan the vice-captain.Is Dhoni captain in absence of Kohli?
http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_...-ashes?platform=amp&__twitter_impression=trueWriting in his autobiography, which is being serialised in The Times ahead of the book's publication later this month, Moeen claims he was abused during the first Ashes Test at Cardiff in 2015, a performance in which he made 77 in the first innings before taking five wickets in a 169-run England victory.
"It was a great first Ashes Test in terms of my personal performance," Moeen writes in the book. "However there was one incident which had distracted me. An Australian player had turned to me on the field and said, 'Take that, Osama.' I could not believe what I had heard. I remember going really red. I have never been so angry on a cricket field.
"I told a couple of the guys what the player had said to me and I think Trevor Bayliss [the England coach] must have raised it with Darren Lehmann, the Australians' coach.
"Lehmann asked the player, 'Did you call Moeen Osama?' He denied it, saying, 'No, I said, 'Take that, you part-timer.'' I must say I was amused when I heard that, obviously I had to take the player's word for it, though for the rest of the match I was angry."
Aussies being cnuts shocker.
Well it's unacceptable to any Muslim unless your name is Osama which is just unfortunate in that case.No one says that about my Moeen
Incredible to think that 7 or 8 players aside, they'd be no better than Bangladesh. They really hit the jackpot with some absolute quality in the early to late 90s and almost all at once. I can't think of a single WC player produced in the last 10-15 years - Matthews, Malinga and Herath are all good players though.Sri Lanka are awful.
Its hong kong ffsCasually screwing this up.
Look at the score.Its hong kong ffs
WTF! How did that happen.Look at the score.
Look at the score.
I think he should’ve retired last year. But it seems he’ll will keep playing until the WC.God, let's hope Dhoni fecks off soon. Our whole Middle order sucks ass.
You guys dont deserve a team as good as India, so negativeEasy win.
We beat Hong Kong ffs. Just.You guys dont deserve a team as good as India, so negative
It was an easy victory imo, the RRR was always too high for them.We beat Hong Kong ffs. Just.
What negative? I was being called negative before India England test series. What was the final result. I told you before hand that our middle order suck. They scored 48 runs in the last ten overs.You guys dont deserve a team as good as India, so negative
