You’d hope every player was constantly improving so naturally all players can come good. The only debate is around are they looking to improve or are they happy just sticking to what they know and go ‘brand of Cricket’ ‘Way I play’
Either way, woakes deserves his spot and Curran had a good start so didn’t deserve to be dropped. Stokes is the saviour but his figures don’t stack up for a test top six and out and out bowler so maybe he’s not quite a nailed on as people think.
Maybe he needs to go away and show some consistency etc ? Or do we just pander to his random spells or one in ten knocks ?
I believe woakes is getting better in English conditions every year, so he deserves a shot.
Yes batsman should, if issues are there and unsuccessful look to improve that game.
Jennings looked to change, weather it has worked is yet to be seen(currently I’m not sure as this ain’t a great attack like south’s Africas was).
Balance didn’t change, and it still looked/seemed unsuccessful for international cricket.
As for stokes, although my post had nothing to do with a stokes selection. I’ll say this. We have wondered to broads random spells for the last two years, even though in general he’s got slower, swings it less, and his batting has just become a joke.
Be interesting to see how many times broad has put a match winning effort in, in the last few years compared to stokes(who fortunately for him, gets two chases to do that)
