Nothing would surprise. Bancroft deserves his spot but i thought he might get 6 or keeper more so than Renshaw's gig at this stage. Marsh is talented but this is his 8th go and what are the odds he lasts an Ashes series without injury?

The Paine selection (if it's all true but gee there's some serious media on it) isn't killing me because truth be told no-one overly deserves the damn spot LOL. Very left of center obviously. There's certainly a heavy message dished out to Wade and Nevill, maybe even Smith. Hayden and a few others wanted Bancroft and he wouldn't have been the worst selection ever. He could have fit into any of the three spots.

Thankfully our bowling is extremely settled. I can't wait to see Cummins and Starc in full cry.
