There is also Olly Stone AND Ben Stokes.Assuming everyone is fit.

Still leaves - Broad, Woakes, Potts, Mahmood, S Curran, Leach!
Woakes has to play at Lord's mind. He averages about 14 there.Assuming everyone is fit.

Drop Crawley and put anyone in to replace himThat would mean Foakes at 6. Who you leaving out of the batsman?
I'd guess it'll be Robinson, Anderson, Leach and Archer or Wood. Unless they go Woakes in front of Robinson. Stokes seems to have a lot of confidence in Leach, which he's benefited from.
Thought I'd put stone in there, my mistake.There is also Olly Stone AND Ben Stokes.
Guess they will start with Anderson, Broad, Robinson, Stokes and Leach.
As long as one genuine quick is fit, they could slip in, when needed or pitch is suitable.
Easy arguement to make but how many tests has he played at home recently, not sure how his knee will stand up.Woakes has to play at Lord's mind. He averages about 14 there.
His average is better than anyone we have in England I believe also.
He averages 35 with the bat at home I think too.
Shame he's so shit away from home.
Crawley gets binned but then trying to fit Bairstow in probably means Archer or Wood and not bothThat would mean Foakes at 6. Who you leaving out of the batsman?

Long term Rehan Ahmed has to be spinner of choice if he continues developingCrawley gets binned but then trying to fit Bairstow in probably means Archer or Wood and not both
Looked up the stats since Stokes took over, I know they dont mean as much now but
Leach - 33 wickets at 41, 3.37 econ
Averaging 7.75 with the bat, just ahead of Jimmy
That just gives me 2013/14 vibes, getting the top order out with good balls whilst the ball is hard then watching Haddin and the tail double their score from 6 down.Anderson
Broad
Robinson
Leach
Fully expect this to be our attack in the first Test.
Bairstow to open if fit, dont often see him nicking offTest team
Crawley
Duckett
Pope
Root
Brook
Stokes
Foakes
think there has to be at least one "quick"
Anderson/Robinson
Broad/Robinson
Wood/Archer/Woakes (for the seaming pitches)
Leach/Ahmed
Stokes (extra seamer)
Maybe, but I don't see their tail being as strong as then. Carey isn't anywhere near as dogged as Haddin, although probably better technically.That just gives me 2013/14 vibes, getting the top order out with good balls whilst the ball is hard then watching Haddin and the tail double their score from 6 down.
New Zealand just did the same in this test, their pace isnt enough to avoid being hit out the attack.
If I was an Aussie I'd go after Anderson from the start, every chance he could get 3-10 but could also be 0-40 from 5 overs etc...jimmy is so good he could get 3-10 just by the batters trying to bat tight.

Probably but won’t be for all 5. I would go with that but wood will play on any flat deck and Woakes instead of either Broad or Jimmy if it’s back to back tests on seaming pitches?Anderson

Nah he wontThink Archer will play if fit and would love Ahmed head of Leach
Nah he wont
Jimmy and Broady want to play every game but there’s an acceptance from them now that they can’t and won’t so yeah agreed there will be changes. Can certainly see a case for Woakes at Lords in the 2nd Test, Potts too.Probably but won’t be for all 5. I would go with that but wood will play on any flat deck and Woakes instead of either Broad or Jimmy if it’s back to back tests on seaming pitches?
I’m not factoring in Archer yet
