moeen is better than tredwell, gets way more revs on the ball and is actually a threat, tredwell got wickets in the first innings when the west indies were attacking him, he looked toothless in the second when they were trying to survive
and rashid has obvious wicket taking potential, do we really need jordan?
does he offer anything that anderson, broad and stokes dont?
personally i think picking rashid is worth the risk, he may bowl poorly in both the tests, he may win us a game
we wont find out until they pick him
can 4 right arm seamers who bowl 85mph be any more effective than 3?
With the test matches played back to back, 4 seam bowlers is a must. Last thing England need is Broad and Anderson to be overcooked or suffer an injury.
Nothing wrong with Tredwell containing one end in order to allow a bowler to attack the other end.
Playing Moeen Ali as a bowler is a huge risk when he's not match sharp and was ineffective against Yorkshire. If two spinners are to play in the same XI it has to be Rashid and Tredwell.
