Baffling line up for England. Atkinson hasn't had the rewards but I feel he has been their best bowler so far. Certainly better than Carse.

Ollie Pope retaining his spot just tells me they are not taking this seriously. He is not a test quality bat. You simply cannot pick a number 3 that's still averaging 35 after 60 odd tests. In 7 tests against Australia he has never reached 50.

And they wonder why they're the laughing stock of test cricket.

Going to be a drubbing
 
Tongue can take wickets, but can also spray them. If Archer is tired after his first spell, and Carse and Tongue are being pummelled on a flat deck, Stokes will bowl himself till he breaks. This was always a likely outcome of the tour.

Yeah, Jacks is a pie chucker. No better than Root or Head (although I like both Root and Head).

Well in my experience if Root or Head isn't working then yes you need to turn to Jacks
 
My read on things would be that Root is the best of those three names with the ball in hand. By a fair margin.
Agreed, but if they want Joe Root to bowl 10-15 overs when its high 30s just before he bats, I won't be overly disappointed
