Answers on a postcard.
Questions marks over Wood, Archer, Stone, Tongue and Atkinson as all have struggled over their fitness.
Add Stokes in too there who could easily break down again from a bowling perspective. Plus he's our fifth bowler anyway.
Woakes would be terrible. As I'm sure we will see if he plays in Pakistan/New Zealand this winter.
Robinson is persona non grata it seems.
Potts and Carse I've generally no idea how they'd do in Australia. Both were poor with the Kookaburra on a very flat one at Edgbaston earlier in the season(albeit Carse had the betting thing hanging over his head which affected his performance, but he wasn't great with the ball in 2023 in Division Two as well)
Whoever our spinner is will get targeted and I've no idea if they will have what is needed in those conditions.
When most of the attack could be potentially playing their first test in Australia it's gong to be a daunting prospect.
Jimmy shouldn't have been retired. I still think he should have been allowed to play until such time he was not worth his place in the side.
I'd have had more faith he was still capable of being fit and able to play than most of the other options we have.
Then throw in that our batting side have learnt absolutely nothing from mistakes in the 2023 Ashes . Were set up really well
But we've got 12 tests matches in between so who knows what we will look like come November 2025
