Jennings for SL is a sensible option.
He is a very good and proven player of spin and in the sub continent. This is likely to be a horses for courses pick for one tour while Burns is out. Plus Sibley and Crawley are totally unknown quantities against quality spin.

I don't really understand why people would complain about this.

I agree with you BUT... we all know how terrible this England management/Selector set up is.. Do you really believe IF Jennings happens to do ok/well in SL that suddenly, he wouldn't suddenly be hailed as 'back' and 'he's the man in possession' etc etc.. suddenly he's taken a opening slot and Crawley is left on the sidelines. Then we watch Jennings utterly fail again against anything other than plod/SL and miss the chance to develop Crawley.

Jennings is also fantastic under the lid in close - get him in the side!

Is it time to concede this is the beginning of the end for Jimmy?

He's been a great servant to English cricket and his achievements are remarkable, but age seems to be catching up with him.

Nooooo say it ain’t so.

When I was 14 I was in the men’s team at my club, wondering why they were bothering with bandages, strap(on)s, deep heat, 5 fags and a pint of beer just to get on the field and thought: why? Why are these old people straining themselves just to play?

Then you become them and understand...

Can we squeeze another home series out of JA or will time have the final say? A fairytale ending at the Oval and a ten fer is the only way to go surely  :)

If that's Anderson cooked, a pretty decent way to go out. 5fer away from home, often used as a stick to beat him with. A win in Cape Town after 60 odd years. Can't get much better than that

Not sure I would be writing off seam bowler who has pulled up with 2 injuries in 12 months.  If that were the cut off point it would be a game for spinners

If it were joint or back issues you would feel it was time to call it a day, but muscle problems effect bowlers of any age

Just read it's a broken rib so should be ok but still cause for concern

Cracked rib will be easier to get over than ligament or muscle injury

Jimmy has put on his Instagram that it's a broken rib and should hopefully heal in a few weeks.  :o

I assumed from the earlier medical report that it was an.intercostal muscle injury but if it is confirmed as a broken rib then thatnis good news

The latest news has made my day, he got over the calf injury and seems mentally strong enough to come back, the joy when we won you could just see.

But seriously I think we have to get out of him as much as we can, we won’t replace him but just look at the rest for comparison:

Woakes..like him but he does get injured and no where near in the same class
Wood...as above
Broad....dunno seems fit and bowling well the last 12 months
Overton..no idea if he’s any good
Curran....good but dibbly dobbly pace-will end up a batsman
Stokes...won’t be bowling much
And

Archer....hmmm gut feeling is a short form bowler I’m afraid, could be short lived.

Agree with the above (apart from Curran), just hope the old boys have time to pass on their test match experience to the newbies.

With regard to Curran, I think he is really good. I accept he doesn't stand out as a bowler, but he gives you absolutely 100% and like a little Jack Russell dog, nipping around your ankles. He'll rile your patience and then get a wicket or two.
