Stokes has taken 5 for 90 odd in this test. I don't think he's the problem with the bowling. We're one dimensional and to reliant on Broad and Anderson who are only decent but not world beaters.

I don't think Jordan is the answer but an in form Finn is a different story IMO.
 
Both Jordan and Finn are being deprived of vital experience by not being repeatedly selected.

Sorry but Anderson is most definitely a world class bowler.

It's not that I don't think he's a good bowler and that he wouldn't be in my team but world class for me means one of the best in world and I wouldn't say averaging the wrong side of 30 (far worse over past 12 months) is that.
 
That england team is riddled with question marks. Not a single area i'd happily say I trusted or was world class.

Worst thing is im unsure that anyone knows what the answer is/are.

We are gonna end up not even in the top 4 or 5 test playing nations before long... If we arent already.
 
Broad needs a rest like, bowled very poorly last 2 tests

Stokes been one of our better bowlers.

I agree with this. For me its time for Jos Buttler but that apart we are basically playing the best players we have available. Some are getting past it but there are no obvious replacements. I have no real objection to someone like Jordan playing but he doesn't make us any better or any worse. The cupboard is pretty bare really.

I do think they need to stick by Stokes, Root and Buttler even when they play poorly because I think they are all very talented players who will make it at test level if they aren't fucked about.

No idea who would captain that side like

Broad isn't fit, Anderson needs a rest, Cook is mentally shot (for now)
