And Steven Finn 直面するs a 戦う／戦い to stay in Australia after his late call-up as a 交替／補充 for the absent Ben Stokes after also 存在 支配するd out of the practice games here in Perth on Saturday and in Adelaide next week.

Of the two the peripheral 人物／姿／数字 of Finn is felt to be the biggest worry after his self-（打撃，刑罰などを）与えるd 傷害 苦しむd when he 攻撃する，衝突する his bat into his left 膝 during England's first real practice 開会／開廷／会期 in Perth on Thursday.

Steven Finn and Moeen Ali have been 支配するd out of England's first two Ashes warm-up matches

All-rounder Ali is 苦しむing from a left-味方する problem that makes it painful for him to bowl

But the major 関心 to England's hopes of upsetting the 半端物s here and 保持するing the Ashes lies undoubtedly with the 条件 of Moeen, who is 苦しむing from a left-味方する problem that makes it painful for him to bowl.

England remain relaxed about Moeen's chances of playing in the final warm-up in Townsville ahead of the first 実験（する） in Brisbane on November 23 but they cannot afford to be without two of their three world-class all-rounders at the Gabba.

Moeen has been 優れた with both bat and ball in the last year or so and England 猛烈に need him fit and 解雇する／砲火／射撃ing throughout the Ashes, 特に with the errant Stokes almost 確かな to 行方不明になる the whole series.

Seamer 示す 支持を得ようと努めるd is likely to be called up to 取って代わる Finn should he fail to 証明する his fitness

He 苦しむd a 味方する problem in the Ashes summer of 2015 but it quickly 傷をいやす／和解させるd and England remain 確信して he will bat at No7 in the Ashes behind the other member of England's lower middle order engine room in Jonny Bairstow.

Finn, 率直に, is not so important to England's chances and will be 監視するd closely in the week ahead before England decide whether he will be able to …を伴って the team to Queensland for the final warm-up.

The Middlesex 急速な／放蕩な bowler 主張するd only on Tuesday that he was 'bored' with questions about his premature 出発 from Australia during England's ill-運命／宿命d last Ashes 小旅行する when he lost his 活動／戦闘 and became 'unselectable.'

Yet he 直面するs an even earlier 出発 now after a freak 傷害 in the 最新の blow to a career that once appeared to see him 運命にあるd to become one of the best 急速な／放蕩な bowlers in the world. Sadly, Finn is a long way from that now.

If Finn cannot 証明する his fitness ahead of Townsville then 示す 支持を得ようと努めるd, unlucky to 行方不明になる out on 選択 for this trip, is the most likely 交替／補充 as long as he 証明するs himself fit in the Lions 影をつくる／尾行する 探検隊／遠征隊 to Australia.?
