Pathetic from England. Not 100% sure why the hell do you need 3 all rounders in the team. I also think England team has entitlement problems. If you get dropped make a stink about (Baristow and now it seems to be Broad) and promptly get selected or get special dispensation. England went into the game with one genuine bowler in Anderson and everyone else is 2nd/3rd string bowler, with no chance of keeping a lid on scoring.
I do not know enough about Woakes but if Broad, Curran, Stone are ahead of him why the heck (use your imagination in select stronger 4 letter words) is England management not releasing him so he can go play somewhere else (Aus, NZ or SA) and get match practice, instead of carrying drinks.
England mgmt sure ruined Hameed's career. The guy was one of the most exciting player coming through with proper game plan for test match, now he cannot even convince his county team
for a game. It might be worth it for him to leave Lanc and maybe move to another county but which county. Personally, I think he might benefit by going to Durham and go work with Collingwood, who made a career by playing within his means.
Is Collingwood part of the coaching team in WI? If yes, can England draft him into the playing 11. My money would be on him playing a lot better than majority of the current players.
