Can Woakes reverse it?

That doesn't make any sense.
Can't see that happening tough to drop a bowler averaging about 15 over the summer.
In India you need 3 seamers and 2 spinners, Bairstow and then your 5 best batsmen, so something like:
Cook
Hales
Root
Vince
Ballance
Bairstow
Ali
Woakes
Rashid
Broad
Anderson
Obviously our top 5 is up for debate, but I think that those top 6 batsmen are the best 6 batsmen in England, and then we've also picked our best 5 bowlers for India with a strong lower order.

Vince and Ballance are the only question marks. I think Ballance will get runs in India but I also think Australia will rip his technique apart next time he faces them. On the basis that you pick a team to win a series I'd go with him. Vince has been really unconvincing and for me Stokes is more likely to score big runs. I suspect Vince will be given one last chance in the next test and will need a big score significantly over 50 to get on the tour. 1 and 2 are nailed on I think, although Hales is a worry and has only really managed to score runs against a weak Sri Lankan side and will need a good tour. I'd be shocked if 6 - 11 aren't as you suggest.

Nice, I knew you would find out
. Don't know how I forgot Sanga and Flower. Hope JB goes on to be the top Test run scorer for the year and becomes the first keeper to do it, obviously having a lot of matches helps but soring 850 runs in 9 matches is great for any batsman, also he's had 2 innings less then his closest rival (Root). Who do everyone think will be the top Test run scorer this year? Here's the current leaders Cricket Records | Records | 2016 | Test matches | Most runs | ESPN Cricinfo

Eh, not really when I suspect he'd have Rashid at 9 anyway.

Shame but bar a Stuart Broad wrecking ball spell, this is heading for a near certain draw me thinks.
Neither side is going risk anything pushing for the win so I fully expect to hear lots of whingeing from the comms and neutrals re declaration time........cos I'll guarantee it will come later than those not invested will want it.
