Can't help but feel this will be another summer where we rue missed opportunities to prepare properly for an Ashes.
Australia have Smith, Labuschagne etc playing county cricket whilst Stokes, Root, Archer have been playing pyjama cricket and trying (and failing) to avoid injury in the IPL. Makes absolutely no sense.
Don't even get me started on dropping your best wicket keeper so that you can stick with one of the worst opening bats I've seen play for England. You watch creepy get some runs against Ireland and keep his spot all summer. His constant selection the only black mark on the Stokes-McCullum era so far.
