Yep, the old cricket calendar is long gone. There is no time whatsoever for an England v Government Select XI.

You never know, but we don’t normally do that well down there. It will depend on the fitness of our quicks, if they are firing on all cylinders we could do something. And then the batting, the Aussie attack is an aging attack, but they love playing at home against us. The Barmy Army will be a 12th man/woman for us.

Jackharris Prediction: 2-3 and we win the Ashes back.
