Same pitch. 2 changes to the team: Duckett Crawley Pope Root Brook Stokes Smith Carse Potts Bashir Leach
I hope Ben knows what he's doing here. Reading his comments, it seems he sees himself as a backup line of attack. That might be ok,but we need 5 frontine bowlers and when 2 of those are spinners,he needs to be reliable. This match will be interesting,but,if the bowling is going to be too much for him physically,does anyone think he could play just as a batsman?
Dunno if its been mentioned previously but England's bowling attack is made up entirely from Durham players - Potts, Carse and Stokes
