A mouth-watering selection trial for this year’s Ashes series gets underway tonight, with the ‘Graeme Hick XII’ taking on the ‘Brad Haddin XII’ locking horns.

Hick and Haddin picked their teams schoolyard style, but just last week we had Roar cricket expert David Schout and Roar editor Daniel Jeffrey do exactly the same and we got you, the readers, to vote on the winner!

These were the teams they picked.

David Schout’s XI No. Daniel Jeffrey’s XI
Marcus Harris 1 David Warner
Joe Burns 2 Cameron Bancroft
Marnus Labuschagne 3 Usman Khawaja
Steve Smith 4 Travis Head
Peter Handscomb 5 Kurtis Patterson
Matthew Wade 6 Will Pucovski
Alex Carey 7 Tim Paine (c)
Pat Cummins 8 James Pattinson
Mitchell Starc 9 Nathan Lyon
Peter Siddle 10 Jackson Bird
Jon Holland 11 Josh Hazlewood
Not picked: Mitchell Marsh, Michael Neser, Chris Tremain

Listen to the result!

These are the sides who’ll take to the field tonight (our time).

Graeme Hick’s XII No. Brad Haddin’s XII
Joe Burns 1 David Warner
