i dont think theyre going back to Foakes or taking the captaincy away from Root. Imo they should do both but they wont, as i said before all the odi wc players shouldnt be playing test cricket this winter and they should be using it as a development phase, but again they wont theyll keep flogging them on the treadmill and keep most of the square pegs in their round holes

The main issue is this Test Championship thing which they are trying to flog as well - got to keep winning the tests as well

Did Leach bowl at all either innings 3rd test?
With Anderson back does Leach get dropped?
Having watched bits of the 3 tests I don't recall ever seeing Leach bowl.

I am assuming he has more runs than Burns... two innings of 90+ and 1.. better avg than Burns (surely)

Can’t see many changes tbh

But I would go

Burns
Sibley
Root
Denly
Stokes
Bairstow (wk)
Archer
Broad
Leach
Anderson

But I think the only change will be Anderson for Woakes

I know we won the last Test, but going in with 10 men seems an unnecessary risk :unsure:

I’d also like to see Foakes over Bairstow for the gloves, but not going to happen anytime soon.

Jesus do you have any clue about Cricket at all , Burns has 245 runs and leach 8 i think so how the F would he have a better average??

Without wanting to get into a personal baiting statement, let me say that i m fairly comfortable with my knowledge of Cricket (having played it for 40 odd years). Re the second half the remark that was in jest. There are alco fuelled mistakes,.. Burns should have read Roy.. also Leachy's 90 was against Ireland. with less alchol, Woaks has a better batting avg in the ashes (49.12) than specialist batsman Roy (44.18)..
... but lets leave it to the experts to choose the team,...

really is that your appology for getting the names of player wrong, the score and who against??

no one mentioned Woakes, you stated that leach got two 90's he didn't 6,1 and 1no in the ashes.

I went to the Surrey v Somerset blast game today

Pitch was an absolute belter. Was really looking forward to seeing Banton, who looks seriously imposing at the crease. Was a bit of a thrasher innings today though, other than 1 cover drive he didn't time a shot and you could tell Somerset thought par was 200+

Undoubted potential but understandably lacked nous to build an innings still from what I saw. Unfortunately the rest of the Somerset team played 6 or out so we're even worse.

Then treated to an absolute masterclass from Finch which makes you realise how far off international standard the rest were. His sixes were going 20+ yards in whilst the Somerset guys were hitting one bounce fours, yet he was still moving the field around and nicking 2s well into his 80s and 90s when the game was already won
