Finally, the inevitable departure of Devon Smith. Hope we see some Stokes and Jordan soon. Not much point picking Jordan (well yea) if he's not going to bowl when the ball does nowt.

He's only in as slip fielder to the spinner.

Not many keepers would have had that one though, that bounce was crazy.

Terrible shot in the situation. Well done Jimmy.
Hope Botham is on comms when he breaks the record.

So what is the general opinion of this England side? For me Trott has to go, Cook needs to at least take some time off, Buttler isn't good enough with the gloves, and Jordan doesn't really offer anything.
Other than that though, Ballance, Root and Stokes look to be a great base for the future, and Bell looks solid. I was against the Treadwell selection, but hes looked good.
Is there any possibility of a Tremlett/Onions/Bresnan return?

Buttler should be kept with for a long time. Has scored plenty of runs so far and no other options. Also think his keeping is work in progress but getting better. Lyth should have played this test and should get an extended run. Cook will stay, just have to hope he can get back to being a low 40s opener. I would hope none of those 3 have a chance, well past their best. Ali will be back in next test, depending on pitch for Jordan I would expect.

No idea if we are good or not, will find out this summer. I'd not have picked Trott to open as he isn't an opener. A year ago i'd have agreed over Buttler but he has done well so far and even that chance today was a hard one which not many of our keepers since Russell would have taken.
I'd say no to Tremlett (pace gone) Onions (same) and Bresnan is no better than Woakes so go with the younger man in the long run.

Meh, should be batting higher.

Indeed. Sachinesque in his refusal to bat anywhere else.

Maybe, but why should he be the one to make sacrifices when his application is on a whole other level to every West Indian batsman since Lara.
