Leave Jimmy and Broad at home for SL. Pick one of Wood and Archer for each test, alongside Stokes. Two seamers should be sufficient, alongside two (or three) spinners. But if we're desperate to pick a third seamer, then either Curran or Woakes so that they can also bat. A seamer might only bowl 5 overs in an innings, so there's little reason to be picking an out-and-out seamer alongside Wood/Archer.
I am thinking of their fitness. I think it would be better to let them recover now until the summer series begins. The way things are, England are overloaded in the pace bowling department. Who to leave out? As Anderson isn' t getting any younger and England have won the series without him, he is the one to leave out
Very much bog standard spin though. You really want to test yourself against spin, you go to India or you play Pakistan in the UAE.
Think he should be allowed to recuperate until the summer series begins. Let his body recover fully. The Sri Lanka series is only a few weeks a way and if he goes, it may not allow him time for his injury to heal properly.
Lost by 7 wickets, but England often do this. Play poorly so all hope is lost, then come out for the next match like an entirely different team. Roll on, Friday.
Good luck to Jofra Archer as he spends the next few months recuperating. Wood also needs to be nursed carefully and it is not worth the risk taking him to bowl two overs of an innings in SL. Take an all spin attack!
Yes, it's an utter disgrace there isn't radio commentary for overseas games any more. I like the Sky/Supersport coverage (via Saintsplayer I would add) but sometimes radio is better.
