2nd Test XI

[Jack Torrance]

Sorry I know I have spammed this board, had a rare 3 pints with my mate

But England picked Broad, Anderson and Woakes for 4 out fo the 5 tests on the last ashes tour

we never came close to winning one

Robinson is a good addition but we just havent learnt our lesson

I am amazed anyone on here is backing the selection of these 3 together, we even struggle at the Oval and Lords to bowl sides out.

Why will it suddently work when it didnt work 4 years ago??

To be fair Woakes and Anderson were pretty good in the pink ball test last time.

England’s issue won’t be the bowling, it’s whether the batsmen can put on 400+

Wood also is a bit of an X Factor bowler in that he is different to the rest, I suspect the Aussies are relieved that a 94mph bowler is not going to be there

Cummins been identified as a close covid contact.
Cummins unlikely to play, Smith to be captain.
