There may be troubles ahead: England selection issues.

Hales will not be charged by the police.

Stoneman and Malan showing something in this series.

I still doubt Vince is gonna make it.

He just can't resist that flash outside off , can he ? Pity ; as he's lovely to watch when he connects properly. But he's never a Test number three ...at best a five ; and I suspect he won't win that spot either.

The more I look at this England lineup the more I think three is the ultimate key that might lock the rest in place successfully (with or without Stokes). No solution on this trip ; but I've hopes for Hameed yet...

[Arthur Crabtree]

England's ODI squad.

Eoin Morgan (capt), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Tom Curran, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.

On recent form, England may have a better chance in this.

Wood is back (and Stokes).

[Slipstream]

Tour match at Perth.

Keaton Jennings

Is this an audition for the 3rd Test? Vince and the other batsmen need match practice.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Certainly looks like the squad has changed a lot.

And a few on that list needs some talent.

Stokes i doubt will play any part in series, and i don't think Hales will start the series in the side either..

[Slipstream]

For Perth I would go
1 Cook
2 Stoneman
3 Malan
4 Root
5 Bairstow
6 Foakes
7 Ali
8 Woakes
9 Overton
10 Broad
11 Anderson

or to mix it up
Cook
Lawrence
Livingstone
Root
Bairstow
Woakes
Overton
Wood
Broad
Bess (bat 19.86 bowl 22.59)
Anderson. lol - We should get some wickets and runs with those 6 bowlers

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pretty hard on Hales is he loses his opening spot, as Bayliss is saying he will.

Didnt he kick a guy on that video, or throw a punch as well?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Didn't see it. He wasn't charged and he's in the squad so I was just judging on playing merit.

If he's got a case to answer with the ECB, he shouldn't be in the squad.

[sussexpob]

Yes, it would be bizarre to pick him and punish him by not playing him

[Durhamfootman]

England keeping their options open

[Dr Cricket]

Suspect duckett never playing for England again after an argument with a senior England player.

[Arthur Crabtree]

In the A squad though. What was the incident?
