Of course you expects our ****wit selectors to do anything different?
Their usual approach of we are right and we'll stick to our guns even when the wrong selection.

Who else could they have picked? Bring back Bell for Balance maybe? Any other spinners they could have called upon aswell?

If jimmy is unable to play, england really need to look forward to giving jake ball chances in these conditions. He got the variations and brain to use

He's in india and spending time finding out pictures of kittens. Go and meet Sunny Leone and post a selfie with her. That will distract everyone and most importantly the media
good idea Ben, distract everyone

The 2 top performing spinners in county cricket were jack leach and Ollie rayner. They played for the 2 top counties as well last year. But we went for a part timer and an old man.
Vince and ballance shouldn't have been picked at all in the summer it should have been Borthwick. The latter was averaging 80 and the others 20 and 30. Scotts form went off a cliff mind to be fair and then Keaton Jennings smashed it(who also should be out there).
Bell and Leach need flown out. But they are stubborn bastards.

Tbf he'd stil be an upgrade on Ballance right now. Not that that should get him picked as there are of course other options who would probably be far better than either of them.

Unless I've missed something and different squads have been announced, does this equate to Morgan/Hales being dropped from the ODI/T20 sides? Or was it always the case that the squads weren't going to change - i.e. anyone who didn't want to go to Bangladesh was also ruling themselves out of the India tour?

Hales has been dropped from the test squad and afaik the odi squad hasn't been announced yet, but Morgan is expected to be back as captain and Hales will be named.
Good news on the Jimmy front though.........James Anderson set to join up with England squad | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo
Expected to be right for the second test........hope they're not rushing him back though.

I doubt it. Under Flower players played through injury, getting injections and taking pills. Bayliss/Farbrace are the opposite, any little niggle and they don't play. So if you are a bowler best not to say anything about niggles. Anderson hadn't that many known injuries over the years until Bayliss took over. Maybe Anderson is just getting old or maybe he is bowling less, minus the ODIs, and needs to bowl more.

Whatever it takes!!!
Could this be England's version of the Sehwag comeback from 2011?
