Youd be correct..... we all know that the next Jimmy Anderson is Chris Liddle, and that Finn and Wood should be dropped to accommodate him

They need two pace bowlers and two seamers in UAE. Stokes gets in for his batting. A third seamer will just be there for his fielding.

Maybe better to have three spinners than three seamers in UAE- see NZ's drawn series there.

Not sure why but The Sunday Times has player ratings for the series even though there's a match to go. Simon Wilde is the man to blame for any disagreements. Marks out of 10 are:

Cook-7.5, Anderson-8, Bairstow-7, Ballance-5, Bell-6.5, Broad-9, Buttler-4, Lyth-4, Finn-8, Moeen-7.5, Root-9.5, Stokes-9,Wood-7.

I awarded my Player of the Series to Root at TB, forgetting there was another game.

Leaving aside the issue of the pace attack for the Oval Test ; what say to the suggestion that Moeen move to open allowing Rashid to play ?

It makes a bit of sense for UAE ; but maybe less for the coming match. But it also raises the question of what is Lyth's future ?
If he fails again , is that it for him ? Or even if he makes a modest score : does the Moeen for UAE opener still fly ? The fact that Lyth has been retained suggests to me they still hold hopes for him ; and I don't see Moeen as a sound choice to go in first in SA - or in fact anywhere other than subcontinent / Dubai .

That opening spot really does seem the number one problem for the immediate future. I'm less bothered about the spinner. England did all right under Vaughan with Giles ; and SA made top spot without a serious spin option. Reckon the Moeen/ Rashid/ Mr X question will sort itself out eventually ; and until it does we will just have to make do.
Though I see an eighteen year old leggie is making waves for Hampshire...

I was listening to Radio 5 last night and they had Stokes down as 3rd seamer in the UAE in order to get the second spinner in.


That's what I would go with.

Moeen is to loose outside off to open in this country, on the feather beds of the UAE might not be a terrible idea and would give us an attack to suit all conditions and always have a fresh bowler in the sweltering heat
