Looks a little light to me. I can sadly only see a defeat this series, hopefully I’m badly wrong
Got a Lions tour out there at the same time so the size is fair enough. As can pull in numbers from that.

But picking a part timer as the backup spinner with the pressure on Bashir is laughable.
 
Will Jacks over Ahmed :lol: :lol: make it make sense.

Bashir is going to get smashed all over and won't play more than 3 matches.
I’m glad Potts is going, but he’s been pretty poor for Durham this season. I suspect he got Woakes’ slot.
Got the nod over Cook.

Guess that's Cook, Robinson and Dawsons test careers over then

Result all depends on the fitness of our fast bowlers.

Get them all fit and firing we have half a chance.

As for Jacks selection all our second choice spinners sub standard, if fact our first spinner is, so might as well pick the best batting spinner which is probably Jacks.

Would not be against not even picking a spinner in the team if all fast bowlers fit
