thank goodness for that.... I always knew they were completely unaware. I know this because they would have said something at the time if they had known

I meant to put that in the international thread..... sorry

Six quicks competing for three spots :hmmm

Or are they going to bat Foakes at 6 and play Overton and Robinson at 7 and 8?

My guess

Sibley
Burns
Crawley
Root
Lawrence
Pope
Foakes
Overton/Robinson
Leach
Anderson
Wood

I wouldn't pick Wood, but I reckon England will. They love him, despite his pretty modest record overall.

I wouldn't pick Wood either, I'd much rather he was playing for Durham. He's bowled really well for us over the last couple of matches. Durham won them both with ease

They always want a express bowler in the team. Maybe Root and Lawrence will bowl spin.

1 Burns
2 Sibley
3 Crawley
4 Root
5 Pope
6 Lawrence
7 Bracey
8 Robinson
9 Wood
10 Broad
11 Anderson
