Eng vs India - First Test - 20th-24th June


I’m assuming Stokes will be able to bowl 15 overs in a day if needs be

So about 6 bowling options and depending on the pitch , I don’t think it’s that bad at all

We shall see of course
 
Don't think Carse or Tongue are new ball bowlers, more hit the deck hard types of operators and unlikely to bowl a length to trouble a batsman with a new ball. I hope they prove me wrong.
 
Must be the weakest bowling unit we've had for ages for a series against one of the top teams.

The Ozzies are fortunate to still have starc, Cummins, Hazelwood and Lyon for the ashes but in the next couple of years it's not looking that great for them either seen as boland is even older
 
Just (literally) bumped into the team walking to the station. Thought who are these ***** taking up the whole path, oh he looks a bit like Woakes, and he looks a bit like Pope :lol: Manage to swerve past them but bumped into some Indian bloke, not sure who he was but didn't look like a player!

Brightened up my day anyway after having it ruined yet again by my micro managing bitch of a manager, but I digress.

You should have said"Can I help? I can bowl seam up! ".

This is what I was thinking, Stokes with 10-12 overs ar his best can help tide the attack over.

I'd have tried to find a way to get Bethell in the team mind
Stokes will be important. Without Atkinson, Wood and Archer we need someone with an x factor
Stone as well
