The Quest - Ashes 2013/14

[Dogwatcher]

Don't want Warner at 6 myself, but I'm hearing louder and louder that he will play in the first test

Surely Warner has to bowl more to play in that position.
His leggies could be an interesting proposition - then again, to quote REB - hot or miss.

No Siddle in the Tour Match. Bowl off between Harris and Bird for his spot.

Love Siddle's heart and aggression but don't think the English pitches will suit him, best to go with Bird for line and length and let Pattinson and Starc be the attacking quicks.

Saw on the news he was bowling medium pacers

No Warner has to bat more to play in that position. How many balls will they lose if he bowls more than two overs? No thanks.

[Dogwatcher]

Well, there is that. My thought was that he'd have to bowl more to justify his position at six - generally an allrounder's spot.
Facing a few more deliveries whilst batting would be great though.

Is the Ashes on free TV?

I think its on GEM

Siddle is rested. He is playing the first test. Agar is also playing but he won't play the first test either

[the joker]

100 in a session great form going into the first test

And the poms top order have struggled in their walm up match. Against Essex who are a very average side

Cowan 27* (69)
Clarke 23* (41)

I admire Cowan a lot, as he never appears to lose value of his wicket. However, he'll never be a big run scorer at Test level. I've never really rated Rogers, but it's hard to argue against all the runs he's made since he first played Test cricket.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but is there going to be free-to-air TV coverage of the Ashes?

I didn't realise that there were that many balls balled in a days play.
