They'll be on now, I'm a couple of miles from the ground, it's wet and drizzling

Don't know the circumstances so I certainly wouldn't go so far as to block him from anything beyond this test.

Delayed start I reckon, a typical Manc mizzle of a morning.
 
Daft. Might be way out here but I’m going to say it’s a good thing. He’s unreliable at this stage and I have doubts about much he’s trusted in that group, particularly by the captain. Just a hunch. His performance in the Ashes Test last summer at the same ground cost us that game and the series imo so no great loss. Broad, Woakes and Curran and we win. Shame Anderson misses out.

Not trusted? He bowls as many overs as anyone since he's been in the side and was our best bowler in the last innings. Old Trafford is a good ground for a speed merchant, regardless of his last performance there. I expect Anderson was always going to miss one of the three tests, he'll get a home game in the next one. But he'd love to be bowling with the conditions on offer today.

The circumstances are bad enough to exclude and get an apology from him. The lads clearly been a fool.
