Especially since (as reported) he's bowling well at the moment.

Maybe because Curran is a left armer - would maybe create rough for Ali although Rashid (or Leach if he had played would like rough too).

That's a flimsy excuse though, and it's the same for both sides.....

Unless Broad has a niggle, I just don't get it.

I've been critical of Broad over the last few years, but he was the stand-out bowler in the warm ups.

If Curran has been picked over him, then that is purely on batting. Likewise Rashid over Leach. It's a shame our flaky top order dictates our bowling selection.

Pretty toothless first session, you may be onto something.

Wrong team for me.

Broad deserves to play.

Indeed. Pick your best players, don't pack the team with batsmen because you're scared the top order might fold FFS.

According to Aggers, Broad is missing out because of some rather nasty bug bites in a pretty delicate area :eek:

There's an untold story about why Stuart Broad might not be playing.

He's got some bad bed bug bites - in a very sensitive area, which I inspected yesterday on the outfield. He slept with his full whites on, but they seem to have got through his jockstrap. I don't think it has kept him out of the game - that is ridiculous.

But some of the players have been sleeping on mattresses outside their rooms.

Tbf, he literally says that to suggest this is why he's out is ridiculous.

ECB have seen how we've bowled in that session and have briefed the most pliant journalist with an early excuse perhaps? Broad should be playing.
