If Stokes could not bowl, won't Curran have been a better choice over Woakes?
I think, in English conditions, Woakes is still a better bowler on the head-to-head, but Curran offers the variety of being a leftie & still (I think) has a 100% home test win record.

This sounds bad for Shannon...

Seems naive playing him 3 matches in a row after so long off and only just coming back from injury.
Ridiculous team strategy of asking the bowlers if they're ok to play. Like Gabriel would want to give Chemar Holder a chance to get a foothold?

Yes I agree, I think the only reason for Curran?s inclusion is that he offers a different angle of attack and will probably help bring Bess in a bit more as the game wears on. Woakes still the better bowler for me in these conditions and I?d certainly back him as a number seven bat over Curran.

I'm pretty fuming tbh. Gabriel has cost us a chance of winning this test (probably) and denied Chemar Holder the chance for a debut. Really out of order.

Not exactly a surprise what happened to gabriel. Holder, as great as he is has always been a stunningly poor captain tactically.
