That’s ok. Give Archer and Wood a rest and let’s see if Stokesy comes home before the Ashes.

Definite trial match squad this imo. Stokes still hasn’t got his breath back yet

Mind you the news that Wood might be out for 4-6 weeks could knock him out of the Ashes squad.

Both had side strains, hopefully a bit r and r and they’ll recover in time. Still we’ve got nearly 900 test wicket bowlers to come in

Woakes v Sam Curran then for Archer's spot if he can't make the 1st test.

Gregory interests me. I admit to barely watching his career. Type of player he is?

80mph bowler at best i would guess, and can bat abit, big hitter in short formats but also scored a few first class 100's

Disappointing news about Wood.

Should be a good contest this, as there are ashes places up for grabs

He doesn't he just rate Foakes as a better gloveman. Which isn't an unreasonable view.

Find treatment of Foakes as odd to say the least. Did nowt wrong in Sri Lanka.

Everyone was crap with the bat in the West Indies

Exactly.

Problem is that Bairstow is the golden boy, so if you dare question his selection/feel there's a better option, then the whole "why do you hate him!?" gets trotted out.

I've explained my position repeatedly, and it just gets boring now

Forget chips man. Clueless and contradictory for the sake of it.

Just tell him to google everything, that’s his response when asking questions. He doesn’t understand chat forums

To be fair, it's normally JohnsonRatBoy I have this argument with. He gets proper steaming if I say anything negative about JB
