I love Archer, no slight on him

But its just laughable how he gets all the media attention and Wood gets none

If they did the exact same thing, they'd still go with the Archer angle, I don't get it

Wood is bowling as well if not better than Archer but you'd think he wasn't playing.

not sure that is the case tbh, people are amazed at how he bowls when he looks like he is walking to the crease. He is still new and fresh when it comes to England, Wood was getting great plaudits over the winter.
 
Class having 2 90+mph pace bowlers, both with very good control and very different in their styles.
Rashid not his best but you can tell Morgan is trying to bowl him into form as we'll more than likely need him at somewhere neat his best at some point in this tournament.
Our support bowlers also looking decent/good, we have good bowling unit.

I hope Buttler opens. I think he could do it in one day cricket and it would be absolutely class to see 25+ overs of Buttler.

Aye, but every time someone mentions Archer on here, you're banging on about Wood. Which isn't much weirder tbh - as England would be crazy to drop either.

Still think we'd be a better team and bowling unit with Ali in for Rashid or Woakes, depending on surface/conditions. Today, Rashid, other pitches Woakes.

We need a leg spinner who spins it both ways imo. Rashid has been as good as any spinner around the world in the last few years and he's still bowling okay so I can't see us dropping him even if he's off his best form.

Can Wood play every game would be my question? We certainly want him fit for the big games, I doubt he'll play every game myself. Him and Archer are great to watch though.

No its not

Whose suggesting dropping anyone

Nah no chance, Rashid has to play, you need a spinner who can turn it both ways

4 years of planning then drop your leg spinner!
