Changes for 4th Test at Old Trafford

Tongue for Robinson
Jacks for Moeen

I'd like to get Foakes in, but having another spin option is more important at OT.

I'd get Foakes in and push Bairstow up the order in place of that barmpot Brook. Mind, he's probably our best fielder so maybe Brook opening in place of Crawley though that won't happen

But he's clearly not the same player as last summer because of an unfortunate accident. Both himself and the selectors are equally to blame for insisting he returned prematurely.

At least with Bairstow I could see the logic in picking him to begin with. However, not having a quick in the first test nor a spinner in the second has meant we were 2 down when it should have been 1-1 on the balance of play before Headingley. English wickets are now much better in June, July and August and England should be picking a quick and spinner in every home test

If you strip out Khawaja, Smith, Cummins and Starc the Aussies are quite ordinary
 
I’ve a feeling Anderson will be back seeing as it’s OT…. but he shouldn’t. Only 3 wickets from the first 2 tests , not good enough. Tongue for Robinson
Foakes for Bairstow
