We are indeed touring Sri Lanka, we took two or three spinners on the last tour and at present we only actually have Moeen as a spin option fit and available, despite this 'number one spinner' stuff we have heard in the last couple of seasons Ali is dead right describing himself as a batsman who bowls.He is exactly that.
So we do need someone else to come thou, might have been too early for Crane, Dawson didn't work out so we def need to try someone fairly quick.
The England management said the were going to prioritise overseas tours after the Ashes defeat, let's see if they actually mean that
By playing a specialist spinner, like Panesar was......means we really want to win in India/pakistan or Sri Lanka. And Australia even.
In my view, now Stokes is back, the batsmen need to start scoring runs, they are not doing enough at the moment, and a spinner needs runs behind him
