Seen someone on twitter suggesting the extra seamer and use Root.
Other options are Ahmed, Jacks or Livingstone (don’t agree with any really) or go back to Ali / Rashid

Because leach has just got injured!
There is no spinner who can bowl 30 overs a day
Stokes can barely bowl, so whoever comes in needs to be able to bowl
Pick an all rounder and have root as spinner
All they can do
They basically had a 4 man attack as stokes is fucked
Gutted for the lad

It’ll be seamer in my view
Ali is not a bad shout actually if they pleaded with him? But he can’t bowl 30 overs a day
Leach was literally just about our most important player due to stokes injury

Think they play woakes ahead of him

I'd be having the conversation and trying to persuade him certainly. Not idea but there isn't anyone else about with his experience

Rachid is injured
Re Livingstone he was clearly thought of as an all rounder when selected for the Pakistan series only for injury to prevent him appearing
be very interesting to see if they go back to that option

Yeah you are mostly likely right I was just think pit of a point or difference with a left armer
If stokes was fit they would but they can’t at the minute, whoever comes in need to be relied upon to bowl a lot

Replacement in due course looks like they will be calling someone up

Not great, even before Ashes start and losing key spinner.
Not easy to replace, with like for like.
Rawhide?
Extra seamer then Root or Livingstone

The Stokes fitness issue is huge, already was but this makes it bigger.
Anderson - question marks over his recent fitness
Wood - can’t play 5 games
Robinson - question marks over his recent fitness
Stokes - goosed
Tongue - 1 test against Ireland
And now no spinner
Bowled a bit spin in a test before iirc.
Anyone but Bess for me
Is he? Rules him out as well then. Although I don’t really think he’d be seen a realistic option

Yeah it’s not good like
All this Crawley foakes talk is utter nonsense they average nearly the same , the bowling will decide the test, the pitches are gonna be flat flat flat
I’m propped gutted for leach like, top bloke and he was coming good
He’s bowled so much last year probs caused his injury

Aye he's getting rehab they might just go for woakes or jack's although not ideal
Bess takes wickets and has the best batting technique in recognised spinners
if only people could see it
