Didn't expect them to leave out Jimmy at all. Guess we'll see Broad back in the side and perhaps Woakes?

Don�t think it�s a given Broad is back if Robinson and Curran are included.
Woakes as has been said by others has an excellent home record also

Would love to see them giving Robinson a go, has the skillset to be a successor to Broad/Anderson in English conditions.

If Anderson and Wood are left out and Broad still doesnt get a game I think he might retire on the spot! Surely he'll come in for Anderson as the leader of the attack?

Buttler must have been given the series. If he has no substantial scores I would expect to see Foakes vrs Pakistan. Long overdue in my opinion.

Good try by Denly, showed glimpses but not quite good enough. If he was backed at 23 rather than 33 then who knows

Thanks for your efforts Joe, but time to let the youngsters flourish.

As for the bowlers, I think an attack of Archer, Broad & Woakes has a lot to it. With the added benefit of Woakes making the tail alot longer than the 1st test, as it would be Bess 8, Woakes 9 (or maybe the other way round).

It does make the tail a bit longer, Broad and Woakes are similar in bowling style thou.
England sometimes throw Curran in for a bit of variation when you least expect it.
The final 11 will be a tricky call I think

I hope you both mean a shorter tail, unless you both think that either Wood or Anderson are better batsmen than Woakes!

Ha ha yes! Shorter tail . Woakes and broad similar in bowling style but not batting wise

Think Woakes will definitely play as he�s considered as Anderson�s de facto #2. Then it�s a choice of Broad or Curran. I�d be tempted to play Curran as he would also create more foot marks for the spinner

Not sure he will but I was thinking exactly the same..Curran is always around the squad and there is a bit of variation if needed
With Leach our of the running they are going with Bess still bowling into the right handers. They may think he needs some help from the footmarks..weather is set fair for this test match

Jeff Navarro · « **Reply #340 on:** July 15, 2020, 06:22:02 PM »

Think we need the longest possible batting line up as well tbh. Woakes, Curran, Bess and Archer looks incredible on paper

Yes it does but Broad probably is in. one of Curran or Woakes is my guess

Yep I can't imagine a game that neither Jimmy or Broad play

Now this may be an unpopular opinion, but I remain unconvinced by Leach as an international bowler. Bess seems to have a little bit more about him.

Jeff Navarro · « **Reply #344 on:** July 15, 2020, 08:50:03 PM »

Leach is just very unfortunate, crohn's can be such a savage illness.
