I guess I stand by what I said earlier. Lineup is too flimsy, too many players that probably dont warrant a place. We basically have two quality batters (cook and root), with two who could be (bairstow and stokes), whilst a couple are hit and miss (stokes and ali). But numbers two and three who look distinctly out of place. Ballance scores runs at county but doesnt look right at international level. On ali does he use his brain when batting?
Then we have two top seamers, one needs it to swing though and the other needs to hit a stride otherwise they become standard. Another seamer who's in to offer pace, but couldn't crank it up, tries but struggles. As for spin our 'main' spinner is someone who is supposed to contain but cant, he looks out of place at times. The 'second' spinner offers more threat but struggles to reign batters in.
Where do we go? Do we go for rashid as second spinner and accept he'll go for runs? Do we go for crane and accept he's one for the future and ride the waves with him high and low? Or scrap the second spinner full stop?
Pace wise, do we keep with our quickest man or do we go for a fiery bowler like curran? A steady seam bowler in roland jones? Or pray that woakes is back near fitness and push him in?
Batting wise do we persist with the top three or do we reshuffle despite not having a plethora of in form candidates?
