If all remain fit.id like to see.

Rest broad for the third test
Rest anderson for the fourth(be interesting if we win without)
Rest Curran for the fifth


Five prong seam attack evenly rested .

I'd like to see something along these lines, Woakes to take the new ball when either Jimmy or Broad is missing.

Would be a shame to see Curran out, the lads done exactly what was asked of him.

Yes. It's mean to say he's everything his brother is not but in international terms...

I really hope they don’t leave Curran out espically if he continues in the same vain as the first two tests, give him the whole series for experience and continue to blood the youngsters,

No one suggesting dropping Buttler?

They made him vice captain. Plus we don’t need six bowlers?

Only used four in the two day game at lords......

And so far the fuss over Rashid has proved unfounded because he has hardly done anything in two games  :)

Only a fool would predict an outcome on what might happen in a cricket match at any level

I'm sure I'll be making some more predictions before bedtime!

Curran to make way for Stokes.  Stokes is a better batsman, bowler and fielder.  It maybe that Broad and Anderson will be rotated in the remaining tests so that Woakes, Stokes and Curran all play together but it is hard to see the need to rotate at Trent bridge given the workloads the bowling unit had at Lord's

Yes indeed....but even better in my day Bob Willis said the other night Voce,statham,Truman,Botham,Willis....the best pairing ever for us is broad and Anderson

So does resting them for a game prolong their careers? They are miles ahead of any other bowlers we have

Maybe they won't rest them this series, no more tests till Sri Lanka so would it be better to miss that tour?

We will surely play two spinners in the tests there you would think

At least 2. The problem will be finding some good enough. The pitches will turn from day 1 if their recent home games are anything to go by

Well why not have a 4-pronged spin attack for Sri Lanka, and rest them both (and Stokes possibly)!!


Woakes
Ali
Curran
Bess
Rashid
Leach

What a tail that is!!!  Then just pick your 5 best batters against spin and posiibly swap out one of the spinners for Stokes.

I mean Sri Lanka is simply ridiculous for spin, so this might not be as mad as it sounds!!

I doubt you'd play four in a test, but three is believable, together with three seamers - especially as Ali, for all his many faults, is one of our best players of spin/in conditions where the ball won't rise above his knees.

Wondering aloud what that might look like, I'm thinking perhaps:

Cook
Jennings
Root
Ali
Bairstow
Pope
Stokes
Curran/Woakes
Rashid
Jamie Overton (someone seriously quick for short bursts, take the pitch out of it)
Leach

Leach has to go on that tour I would think.  Hopefully gets some overs between now and the end of the season to make sure.

If Stokes plays he'll bat at 6, no exceptions. They've shown in the past couple of years that the test side is basically built around him batting at 6, it's where he likes to bat and it's where the management like him to bat.

Not sure whether it is just me but both Broad and Anderson only play Test cricket so do they really needed to be rested for Sri Lanka and West Indies?

India series finishes September 11th (5th day) then Sri Lanka is a 3 Test series in November then no cricket at all until the West Indies tour which is February-March.

Even after that the World Cup is on so we don't have Test cricket till the Ireland Test in July - i realise they will be playing CC cricket but they will pick and choose their games there.
