It's The Ashes (again)

[Cheshire East Baggie]

Squad named for the warm-up against Ireland. Jofra crocked for the summer, so Wood is the only quick bowler. Jimmy managed one day in the latest round of Championship matches, before a groin strain saw him off. Woakes gets a surprising recall, mainly due to the plethora of injuries to other seamers. Bairstow takes over from the wicket-keeper - apparently we prefer to play without one. Zak Crawley unbelievably keeps his place. And the rather ordinary Jack Leach is the only spinner.

Will Bazball be good enough to beat the old enemy? Will Stokes be able to stand up, never mind run, on his dodgy knee? Will Jimmy's groin improve enough for him to play at least 3 of the games? Could go either way IMO.
