Neser pretty much has to be parachuted into the squad and picked at 8 for the WTC game and the Ashes opener. Hazle is apparently battling to be fit, Starc has a crap record in England (but is guaranteed to be picked), and Boland is a fine bowler but an absolute walking wicket.
I'm not a fan of Marsh at all, however he has pretty good bowling record in England. With Neser in the side you could potentially play Marsh at 7, Neser at 8, Starc 9, Cummins 10 and not lose anything with the bat.
I don’t like Marsh but I don’t think he is competing with Neser for a spot. Neser wont ever bat in the top 6 and Marsh won’t ever be treated as an all rounder whose bowling will need to be relied upon. Marsh is our bat ball response player if bat all hijacks the series. Thing that doesn’t help Neser as well is he is over there. Unless of injury I don’t think he was getting a run in the first few tests so really he is better off playing county whilst being a couple hours from the team if emergency strikes.Neser pretty much has to be parachuted into the squad and picked at 8 for the WTC game and the Ashes opener.

Jack Leach is out of the Ashes with a back injury
Can't see them doing that to an 18 year old spinner to be honest. English media are ruthless.I reckon they might bring in Rehan Ahmed as a result.
Now that’s a lineup that could say ‘**** you Bazball’Can’t believe this is tomorrow. Head to Head, this is super tight. Based on what I think the teams will be:
1. Sharma
2. Khawaja
3. Labushagne
4. Smith
5. Kohli
6. Green
7. Whoever India’s keeper is
8. Jadeja
9. Ashwin
10. Shami
11. Cummins
