Given this series is nearly over

I know they don’t even know the final venues yet, and weirdly one may be in the UAE.

3 tests so assume they will take 15 or 16

Duckett
Crawley
Pope
Root
Brook
Stokes
Smith
Atkinson
Bashir
Stone

I assume are nailed on (if fit)

Cox if he is fit to keep will go
Woakes despite foreign record will go I think
Hartley
Rehan

Who are the other seamers?
 

We need to break from Bazball and return to proper cricket.

Burns*
Sibley
Hameed
Root
Pope
Smith
Foakes+
Jacks
S Curran
Atkinson
Bashir

3 spinners, 3 quicks, and a proper batting lineup to bat time and get runs.
Reserves:
Stokes (if fit), Leach, Stone.

Interesting that they’ve left Hartley.

The quicks don’t inspire me!

Aye, surprised at Carse, and Hull really. Add in its Woakes abroad as well who is brilliant at home, less so away.

Wonder which of the 3 are in because of Wood’s injury.

It’s as they’ve given up on Robinson, who was brilliant there last time

They need one line, new ball bowler

Pleased to see Leach back, he is our best spinner

It’s an unusually large squad of bowlers mind,
 
Carse, Hull and Woakes pretty pointless selections abroad. Can’t see how at 35 Woakes is suddenly going to crack playing abroad.

Even though a Durham player I think England really overate Carse. Hull is nowhere near ready for this level.

Carse is a genuine all rounder mind, got back up for Stokes

Ok as part of a 5 man attack not a 4

Hull will be there to learn, and be around the group

He’s an absolutely massive left arm quick who can swing it and could bowl 90mph

They don’t grow on trees, I think they’re right to invest time in him in the nets.
