As the announcement of the Ashes squad came as no surprise to many over here, CricketChicks thought they would have a look at how the Aussies reacted to it - and one thing’s for sure, height, was on most people’s minds:
"Height was probably the thing I noticed this morning when I saw the squad, it was interesting to note they picked six foot, seven inch Tremlett and went back to the left-arm orthodox in Panesar," Tim Nielsen told AAP on Friday. "They're two things we expected, and in truth they're probably more depth players rather than first selected players. They've gone for guys, one who can spin the ball away from the right-handers and another who they're hoping will make the ball bounce in Australia."
“England is expected to give the Aussie batsmen some chin music after naming a fast-bowler rich squad to tour later this year. Lanky quick Chris Tremlett will join the twin towers of Stuart Broad and Steve Finn in the 16-man touring party as England look to win their first away Ashes series since 1986/87.” (Thanks for reminding us!)
“Australia's cricketers are alert but not alarmed after England loaded up the long barrels for their defence of the Ashes this summer.”
CricketChicks disagree with this statement. They think the Aussies should, indeed, be alarmed. Bring on November 25th and let the battle commence.
