Hameed
Burns
Malan
Root (c)
Stokes
Pope
Buttler (wk)
Woakes (ob)
Overton
Leach
Anderson (ob)

In my opinion.

Changed my mind on Broad/Anderson. Simply can’t take the risk, that two bowlers may break down in a crucial match.

Durability should be a major factor, moving forward.

Broad isn't injured and you can't leave Robinson out

I think it’s the case of managing workloads on this trip, plain and simple.

In relation to Ollie Robinson, I have reservations, on his ability to come through back to back tests in these conditions.

With Anderson coming back in, you’re not necessarily weakening the bowling.

As for Mark Wood, can’t see him being risked until Melbourne at the earliest.
Broad, Robinson and Wood in contention for Melbourne.

See how Leach goes in this test. I’m sure Bess is pushing hard for that shirt.

No Wood for me even though he had a good match. Accepting that they will play Anderson and Broad I think Robinson and Woakes may be better for the pink ball test. Wood will be back for the Boxing Day test imo.

Untrue, any one is better, especially in Oz, I'd even play people out of position

he osn't a test cricketer and needs dropping

Is poor like I agree and can see your point.

But I think that is the reason above posters still have him in their side for the next test.

Can’t be any other reason surely?

Crawley has been even worse in recent series sadly

He’s a much better cricketer

Not to fussed on their records

Just his technique will score more runs in Oz

I honestly can’t understand why burns keeps getting picked

He will never score runs consistently st this level

He’s nearly played the same number of tests as pat Cummins

I mean how long do you give him?
