Harsh on Green and Carey to be called lower order and you know what I think of Carey in general.

Well let’s say lower middle order

Khawaja turning into prime Pujara late in his career was not on my bingo.

Elaborate?

Yeah such a killer Broad bowled that no ball to him in first innings,then Bairstow not gambling on that catch last night.

Elaborate?

Used to think he was a lucky hack who would struggle at international level due to his poor keeping and lack of power hitting.

To be fair to my own take, this was back in 2018 when his underlying numbers were mediocre barring the BBL and he was visibly average. Has improved a lot since then so full credit to him.

If stokes was so unfit as to be playing as a batsman only, it was a dereliction of duty not to pick Wood. absolutely absurd - i don't care if we run through them now in the next 5 overs, the selection for this test was a disgrace

I assume Jimmy will be out given how bland he has been today for Wood. Bigger question is who comes in for Mo if he can’t play? Going to Dawson feels a bit like them admitting they made a mistake.
