Not convinced with curran brothers for test arena from what I've seen and seen nothing of porter snd coad. Thought overtons had chance but seem to have fallen off radar a touch. Injuries?I'm probably not to be honest

Sam is a decent red ball cricketer, but put him in the Test arena and if the ball isn't swinging, he'd be cannon fodder. If/when he adds a bit more pace, he's a possibilityI'm probably not to be honest

only 19 and been in there side for 3 years might wait a season or a few let him build his paceThere's a chance this summer v the West Indies to give a couple of young lads ago with the Ashes tour in mind. I've always liked the look of Sam Curran.
Likewise for Coad, not that he should be anywhere near even being talked about for a Test place having played 8 FC games.Sam is a decent red ball cricketer, but put him in the Test arena and if the ball isn't swinging, he'd be cannon fodder. If/when he adds a bit more pace, he's a possibility
I think his bowling is better but he seems to think his batting will be the strongest part of his gameRealistically, we'll be taking 7 pace bowlers to Australia. Stokes, Wood, Broad, Woakes and Anderson are definites. Probably Ball as the 6th. I'd like to see a young lad going along for the experience and he should play v West Indies before then. Sam Curran is my pick. He can bat as well.

We need a spinner and our batting line up is just wrong. Otherwise we are fucked if the Ashes take place.
Bairstow is in our top 3 batsman, foakes is supposedly a better keeper. Could kill 2 birds with one stone.
Foakes appears to the batsman next in line for the middle order.Birds with 2 stone is having Baristow at 7 where he has flourished, with 2 more batsman would be a much better side

Bairstow is frankly wasted at 7.
Flipping them around would strengthen our batting and wouldn't weaken our keeping. Maybe even elevate it.
Northeast,Lawrence, Livingstone are probably the only others in with a shout. It's a bare cupboard.
Likewise for Coad, not that he should be anywhere near even being talked about for a Test place having played 8 FC games.
They had 6 world class batsman in front.Was Gilchrist wasted at 7? Nope
and could bowl regularly at 90mph with decent control.I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him mind, Mark Wood was picked after a similarly low number of FC games.
I think Wood played at Lords for England before he played there for Durham, at least in a FC match.I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him mind, Mark Wood was picked after a similarly low number of FC games.
would you call root stokes bairstow and cook world classThey had 6 world class batsman in front.
Bairstow is our second best batsman currently. Well in terms of average he's best.
