Surely Vince goes and Malan moves up to 3?
I think they will go:

Cook
Stoneman
Malan
Root
Stokes
Bairstow
Livingstone
Ali
Woakes
Broad
Anderson

Surely you wouldn't play Livingstone as a specialist bat down at 7?

I think 7 is too low for Bairstow,they will play Ali I would have thought-and Anderson,Broad,Woakes,Stokes,Ali and a bit of Root/Malan is more than enough bowling.
For me,the attack is boring and one-dimensional as has been said already.

Cook
Stoneman
Root
Bairstow
Malan
Stokes
Woakes
Broad/Wood/Overton/Garton/Footitt/Mullally
Anderson
Leach

A lot of the journos talking about whether Stokes will be fit to bowl in the 1st Test. Then if he isn't does he play as a batter only? If so where in the line up? In for who? Etc...

If Stokes can't bowl then I'd play Wood instead of Vince. We can't go into a test match with only 3 fit seamers.

Root to 3, Malan to 4, Stokes 5, JB 6, MO 7.

Then Woakes, Overton, Broad and Jimmy.

They�ll go for

Cook
Stoneman
Malan
Root
Stokes (batter only)
Bairstow
Ali
Woakes
Broad
Wood
Anderson

That�s what I think the ECB will go with. They�ll back Anderson, broad and woakes to bowl Williamson out

I don�t get what this obsession with Wood is?

He�s not that good, he�s not that quick and he is not a long term prospect!

They want to stick their hairy ball-sacks on the block and pick a winning team:

Cook
Stoneman
Root
Malan
Stokes
Livingstone
Bairstow
Woakes
Overton
Anderson
Leach

I like everything about this side apart from Military medium Overton. Not many options though.Is T R-J far off being fit?

You want to trade military medium Overton for a military medium Roland p-Jones ??

golders · « **Reply #71 on:** March 17, 2018, 09:54:24 PM »

Hmmm maybe not.Luckily I have you with me on the selection panel!

I suspect TRJ is a tad quicker.

England try to plan a bit for the future all the time, it's just the way it works.bowling wise if, and I say if, Stuart broad is on the downslope TRJ would seem to be a straight replacement style wise.

Broad when he started his test career was actually a pretty good batsmen also but could never combine the two for long.

Roland Jones looks to me like he can hold a bat well enough.

For the first test I don't think this will happen but I would leave out Ali and play Leach, a specialist spinner for the first time since Panesar

I've discounted Kerrigan I don't know if he bats
