    I keep hearing about the hugely talented side we sent out there. Honestly never saw it myself?
    Huge question marks for me over Crawley,Duckett Pope and Brook and a bowling attack that is more than a bit Meh.
    Wood is a pair of walking crutches. Archer has missed a huge amount of Cricket and his fitness is very very suspect. Carse and Atkinson really nothing special. Add to that a battered and bruised Stokes who will really struggle to hold up for 5 tests.
    If you asked the Aussies whon they would want from our squad based on ability and fitness levels then Root would be the only one imo.

    Pope is the big one for me. If we had a solid number 3 then you can sort of afford to have Brooke etc. playing a bit stupidly on occasion. If someone could play at 3 like Stokes did yesterday then you have more of a platform, a softer ball and more tired bowlers for the explosive middle order to exploit. If he ever stops bowling Stokes could make a decent 3 for England, what I don't know is who that player is right now. It certainly isn't Bethell though
