Are we still unable to have a press release without it being leaked first? ECB is a total shambles

On a side note, glad to see Foakes and Overton included - both well deserved. Probably won't see the field but good experience nonetheless.

At least it's the Torygraph - the best the ECB can do is the Sun!

Exactly I really really don't buy the issue with root at 3, he got 250 last time I saw him bat there

It reminds me of my club side where everyone wants to bat 5
Complete nonsense

Ballance vince and ball have recalls, no mark wood

Overton, crane and foakes the uncapped players

Weak selections regarding the batting

Feeling pessimistic already

Crane in and no recall for Rashid with the dearth of spinners we have.

I'm no Rashid fan, but there has to be some other reason other than ability that he's not even getting a mention - I'm guessing he's not Root and The Coach's sort of 'chap'.

The definition of insanity - Gary Ballance doing the same thing over and over again and expecting not to get out bowled or lbw

reading the live feed someone mentioned those recalled have done nothing to warrant inclusion, but the more i think of it, who has done something to warrant inclusion,

the ballance selection is just plain insulting to the fans, he has sown no desire to improve, keeps getting picked and getting out in the same manner without scoring large volumes of runs

but no point ranting over the same theme

good news is i think we can all agree that foakes does deserve the call up and could potentially get in the side on batting alone now we know the squad what would peoples starting 11 be?

Cook
Stoneman
????? itll be vince but id like root here foakes at 4
Root
malan
stokes
bairstow
ali
woakes
broad
anderson

With Vince at 3 snicking off early you may as well just cut out the middle man and put Root there, hadn't you?

HORRIBLE squad.

If we aren’t picking players on form, why didn’t we pick Hameed to bat at 3! At least he has a bit of grit and determination about him!

Think I disagree with four of the selections. Ballance, Crance, Vince and Ball.

Overton is fair enough as I think I read out of the seamers to take 100 wickets in the last 3 seasons in the county championship, he has the best average.

Instead of the four selected that I disagree with I think I would’ve selected Plunkett, Rashid/Leach, Hameed and then another batsmen, probably Robson.

Rashid bailed on Yorkshire's Championship decider vs Middlesex at the end of 2016 "because he was a bit tired". I think Root doesn't want him because of that.
