Some quality pre reading...

Innate narkiness: Pure grumpy.

Justification: England’s best bowler. Ever. There are still zero signs that he’s deteriorating with age and honestly, if you put your mind to it, you could probably make a reasonable case that he’s actually still improving.

Score: 30/20 (10 for narkiness, 10 for justification and a bonus 10 if he’s forced to sit and watch two consecutive Tests at a ground where they’ve NAMED A FRIGGING END AFTER HIM.

😂🤣😂🤣

And no I still wouldn't pick him.

The whole "you get to always play and choose when you retire" thing is something I don't agree with. There isn't room for sentiment in this series. It is the deciding test and we need to win.

I do agree no room for sentiment, however in this case I would select Broad and Anderson on skillset,experience,  nous and the fact both their paces are more or less where they have been for their career. Teams are in, lets see how they go!

Good to see Root willing to take the bull by the horns and take command at 3.

The no.3 batting position has to be the most unluckiest in the England team. No wonder Joe Root hates it. One unlucky dismissal and Crawley sits out. Also a poor call to leave Curran out. Should have been Woakes for Anderson. This reduces the variety in the attack.

Question - is Pope's keeping really that bad to not give him the gloves, drop Buttler, then add a bowler that way?

Or is it a case of Buttler must play?

Foakes would probably retire if they willing went down that route.

instant justification why root doesn't want to bat 3, our batting line up looks very short by dropping crawley to make way for Anderson and archer

Root needs to do a job here at 3 or this could turn ugly fast

Whilst Ed Smith is selector. Jos has to play. It is written.
