I'd go for Archer, Broad and maybe Curran. Raw deal for Woakes though.

[Stan AF]

 

One of them has to go.

[Stan AF]

 

He'll be pumped to bowl, that's for sure.

Man I can't believe how lucky these guys are. Even in RSA the series was level 1-1, these guys won the toss in the last 2 Tests, batted first and the rest is history.

 

Having said that, I just saw that Holder won the toss and chose to field . 

[Norman]

Wtf is wrong with Root ?

Mental midget. Not fit to be captain.

Campbell has no upside. Need to back Hope

Embarrassing as a cricket fan to watch this Rakheem guy. The novelty has worn off, a lumbering and plodding fat guy who is a floaty off spinner has no place in international cricket in 2020 unless he is the reincarnation of Bradman or upgraded version of Warne/ Murali.

Rashid Khan in my 11 circle ad is a nice relevation. A change of scene.
