Thank goodness Sam Curran can field...

I can't be the only one a bit gutted that Maharaj didn't get a ton there?

No Du Plessis in the ODI side, captaincy has been given to de Kock. No Rabada either

It will be a hard one, but hopefully De Kock will rise for the occasion and gets stuck in...

I think it's important that the England bowlers get De Kock out early

They could really miss Willey and Wood in the ODI series

Hopefully Wood and Willey will be bowling heavy balls.

For the sake of a good contest, let's hope it's not a limp showing from De Kock.

De Kock will go hard from the off

Briefings to me are that Archer will come in for Wood on Friday.

Shame for Wood if that's the case, can't say that he did anything wrong and contributed a hell of a lot more with the bat than Jofra has in a long time.

I wouldn't be a huge surprise if Wood isn't picked in back to back games after being out for a prolonged period. If England are to keep bowlers hitting 90mph + they need to be well managed.

Jimbo · « **Reply #1046 on:** January 22, 2020, 03:30:00 PM »

@SD fair point, although there's maybe also a case to be made that stop-start cricket isn't the best way to manage a fast bowler either.

I would probably agree with what Nasser had to day here a kit the way Root seems to over bowl his quickest bowlers. It is understandable when you ate searching for wickets that you want your most dangerous bowler in the attack, but that has to be balanced with the diminishing outputs of over bowling them

Yeah I think you have it. wood bowled well but hasn�t played back to back matches since I can remember so Jofra for him would make sense...
Also think we want to play Bess as he�s done well and if we were to bat well again he could come into the game, plus really going without a spinner I don�t really like anywhere, it�s variety and an option for Root.

Root thou is going to have to wise up quick handling Archer, 90 mph bowlers are rare for us and need protecting in hot conditions.

Jimbo · « **Reply #1049 on:** January 22, 2020, 07:54:16 PM »

That's why it's especially disappointing that Burns is out injured. His experience of captaincy at Surrey would make him a useful sounding board for Root, especially on managing fast bowlers.
