Changes for 4th Test at Old Trafford

I've just said - Tongue for Robinson

But if you turn up to a complete green top next week then you have to consider Jimmy either for Robinson or possibly Moeen.

Robinson has gone from unable to bowl 3 days ago, to fit for next week, that concerns me.

Both are in the squad

They've not named the XI it's got 13 names.

Ignore me, totally mis-read. Thought they'd named the team early again!

I'd have probably had Potts in the squad.

 

[Hetty]

Both squads are now out, get the match thread started with flags

All good mate.

I'd have had Tongue instead of Robinson for Headingley.

I'd be shocked if Jimmy doesn't come in for Robinson as only change and Mooen will bat 3.

 

[Lumley End]

Potts wasn't in the squad for the third test.

He'll be playing for England again. Anderson 40, Broad 37, Woakes 34, Wood 33.

He's the youngest pace bowler England have picked in the last 5 years.(I can't think of any younger on the circuit doing anything of note too)

Your mate needs to reattach the thinking cap.

So he wasn’t! My bad!

My mate is a bit of a glass half empty kind of guy like.

Me too

Just you back Durham players to the hilt, but unlike Onions/Rushworth who either didn't get enough games or play at all.

He's got no real competition in the same age group and he's ahead of them anyway having played 6 tests.

Sam Cook is perhaps a challenger but he's a complete bunny with the bat, whereas Potts has got some ability.

That was definitely a big x against Onions and Rushy as they were bunnys too

 

[Voice of fair play]

f***ing stupid. Hurting our chances of winning the 4th Test because Stokes is mates with Bairstow and they like golf (the shittest sport ever).

Don’t be silly man, there is clearly a decent argument not to have Bairstow in.

But it has fuck all to do with golf or mates.

Rightly or wrongly they think including Bairstow is best chance of winning, stating anything else is incredibly immature

Can see the aussies going with Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood, Murphy.
Loved how the team have handled Boland so far
