So the side is named then:
Crawley
duckett
pope
root
bairstow
stokes
foakes (wk)
rehan
wood
hartley
leach
Initial thoughts are....hmm intresting....no real suprise with the batting line up, I'm very happy to see Foakes in there. For me he plays in all conditions, however I'm glad the selectors have seen sense and at least picked a specalist in these conditions....
The bowling attack is a different kettle of fish. I agree Mark Wood plays, especailly as i dont see Jimmy causing any problems in India given his struggles in the summer...was there room to squeeze Robinson in there though and play 2 quicks... reason i say it is, Wood's fitness is always a issue, and if he goes down we have no seam options at all.....its ridiclous stokes still isnt fit to bowl, what was the point of the knee op otherwise? I think people are over hyping Hartley...40 wickets in 20 f/c matches, for me Rehan and Leach with Root is more than enough spin options.....
