My thoughts on the bowling selections: sometimes you just pick your four best bowlers. If Bashir isn't among that, you go four seamers and let Root do the part time at one end stuff while Archer and Wood take spells. Is Archer and Wood in the...

Do old school English conditions really exist anymore? I think a spinner who can occupy is pretty essential myself in Oz at least, the role Swann played there way back was crucial. As you say you can't pick a guy for the sake of it, but thats...

Arguments aside about who is and isn't good enough, game on and captivating test cricket.

Ben Stokes has really put everything into this game, I'm in danger of getting a touch hopeful here but if they can get that fat little beaut pant out quickly you never know

Thing is though, IF you had Wood and Archer in the same attack, you'd need at least 2 other bowlers to take the workload. That would likely mean the spinner goes.

That drop feels like the chance gone

If nothing else seeing Archer in test cricket has been great

Can't really argue with that, would hope Atkinson is available and Bethall surely plays. Not sure about spin, does Dawson play any red ball cricket?

It's not necessarily the tactics that are the reason they are getting criticism. I believe the issue is selection and that there are some players who appear to be un-droppable regardless of performance. That doesn't help get the best out of the...

There you go. You’ve now accepted that England are not the best team in the world. Well done. Maybe you can now stop blabbering like a 2-year old when a batsmen gets out or a bowler bowls a bad ball. It’s a game. It’s not the most important thing...

Awful effort, England have listened to the noise from the clowns and gone to bat time, they went nowhere as a result

The irony of the Indians complaining about time wasting and gamesmanship...
