Bob Willis was captain for England.

Since Willis there has also been: Shaun Pollock (South Africa), Kapil Dev (India), Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis (Pakistan) and Jason Holder, Darren Sammy and Courtney Walsh (West Indies).

An injury or rest to Cummins, and piggy smith is capt again. What a joke of an organisation.

All a bunch of forgettable no names.

So we have a showdown between Carey and Inglis for the keepers spot, Khawaja and Head for the number 5 batting spot plus Starc and Richardson to partner Cummins and Hazlewood.

Who are your selections?

It's been reported that Carey has got the job ahead of Inglis.

Good decision on Carey. Deserves first crack.

Also right decision on Cummins and Smith. Not sure who else you could have gone with.

Correct choice really rate him.

Re: Ashes Series 2021/22

Looking like Starc and Head will be selected.

I'm losing a bit of faith in Mitch Starc. He needs a good result early in this series.

I don't like it, and think Richardson's time has come. However the humidity up here is going to be very high, given all the rain we've had (with more to come) Starc will never have better conditions to exploit his skill set.

Re: Ashes Series 2021/22

I would have preferred Richardson but now Starc will play the first 2 tests I hope we see Richardson on Boxing Day, unless Starc is absolutely killing it.
