End of the pier show ⭐⭐
The best England partnership for the last pair since 1885,wonderful to watch,shame about some of the others,we need early wickets with the new ball,i won't hold my breath though.
Stumps on Day 3, England are pretty much 10 for 8
First test squad under the new regime and no spinner in sight
Good point well made Yorkie ?That’s unfair: both Joe Root and nightwatchman Jack Leach offer part-time spin.
Trouble is who do you bring in for Anderson and Broad?If honest disappointed both Anderson and Broad recalled, would have thought time to give the newbies a shot at test match level, cannot be playing a better team at the moment in Kiwis for testing their skills
Time to move on for Anderson/Broad maybe a coaching role, but not in my view progressive for the future of playing
On that note I hope they get five wicket hauls and start the new era with a bang
That's a pretty impressive list of sick note bowlers.Trouble is who do you bring in for Anderson and Broad?
Everyone is injured: Wood, Archer, Woakes, Stone, Mahmood, Fisher, Norwell etc
Anderson and Broad are basically the last two standing. It may have been different if just one of the above had been fit!

I thought Nathan Gilchrist was a Saffer or Aussie? I don’t think I’ve seen him play yet. I believe many years back there was a fearsome West Indian quick called Roy Gilchrist. England could do with someone like him.Nathan Gilchrist and Sam Cook to blood just my opinion to name two off top of my head
It’s a bit like signing Liam Ridgewell , looks good on paper but how long before injuries happen

In ordinary circumstances I wouldn’t be advocating picking both Anderson and Broad but I’m genuinely scratching my head trying to come up with options other than Cook (who I don’t think would let England down). I’ll be more concerned if they are still picking both by the end of the season.
the injuries have already happened!
Gilchrist born Zimbabwean but can play for us, according to my Kent friend who rates him highly , thinks if he was playing for one of the “ Big boys” he would have been capped
