He's our best but we'd have to move on at some point anyway. Wood, Archer and Broad. With Stokes, Woakes, Curran as back-up. 5 seamers and a Moeen for each match? Root, Buttler, Bairstow, +2 batsmen. We lack enough variety in our bowling options so it perhaps opens the door for someone like Toby Roland-Jones, or a spinner in Bess (neither of which did anything wrong to get dropped previsouly). Our ashes will be dictated by whether our top order can get us into good positions in matches. Our bowlers will usually do well enough with or without Jimmy.
Kiwi's hanging in there ... but they really needed their main man to have stayed around much longer ...
New Zealand’s only hope was to take early wickets. Certainly doing that They have a toenail in the final as it stands
I think certain betting syndicates in Asia will be rubbing their hands as we speak Come back Kumble and Jadeja, all is forgiven!
