Good on them…those arrogant Indians deserve a gobful. They deal it out just as effectively.

You just have to look at how the Indians reacted when they dismissed Warner.

20/20 champs ,1 days champs and possibly shield champions

Thoughts on the Ashes squad and Haddin being made vice captain ??

Personally would of taken Mitchell Johnson , but they don't have much to choose from other than who they picked

Johnson is a bit too hit and miss for me when all the bowlers are fully fit. I think Harris could be a roughie for leading wickets in the series.

I think the squad is probably the best they could have chosen. Depth and consistent talent isn't the best at moment. Guys like Hughes and Warner have to be stuck with as they'll come good and they are the best of the next generation. Watson has to do something this series for me. A lot of promise from him in the test arena without ever really delivering.

Gayle is a freak. 100 off 30 balls… Shame he couldn't replicate that in the BBL here.

On the Ashes side, this proves once again that the selectors aren't willing to pick and stick with young players who have the ability, but not necessarily the consistency in their formative years in international Test cricket. Haddin was unceremoniously dumped for Matt Wade whom was hailed as the future and now he's back in the side? I would have thought that the thought process should have been that whomever plays in England should be in the team for the Australian leg... Haddin has shown great form in T20, but his form in his last stint in Test cricket was abhorrent, including his glovework.

Terribly thin on consistent batsmen, however I think we've picked a pretty good bowling attack, especially since Johnson hasn't been picked. There's going to be a few good pacemen missing out on matches over there. Hopefully Harris stays fit also.

Personally would take Johnson on the premise that if he was in good form going into the Tests he could win one of his own back for us and he is likely to get conditions that will suit him in England

If he can get accustomed to the Duke ball , who knows

Only taking one spinner ??????

Now Harris is injured, we may take another… The question is whom? Lyon is the best we've got IMO, and the next best spinner is a long way off from him.

DAVID Warner appears to have launched an extraordinary expletive-laden social media tirade against journalists.

A series of fiery rants were posted on Warner's Twitter account in response to News Limited journalist Robert Craddock's article on the perils of the rich and corrupt Indian Premier League.

Warner is currently competing in the IPL as vice-captain of the Dehli Daredevils. His Twitter account has almost 190,000 followers.

Among the tweets, which started at approximately 4am Indian time, Warner labels one well-respected journalist a "p**ck", says they "talk s***" and brands another an "old fart" in an unprecedented attack that has almost certainly left the Test star's leadership aspirations in tatters…....................
 
Davey boy yet again.

Apparently involved in a booze fuelled incident in England, talk of him being sent home without any supper

With pups back and Warner missing….tough ask the ashes
 
Apparently he was involved in a physical altercation with English batsman Joe Root.

Has a player ever been sent home for that in the past?

There is talk Joe Root was wearing a wig on his head before putting on his face and impersonating South African Hashim Amla. That's apparently when Dave Warner took exception.
