Anderson's issue is that he hasn't played a game of cricket in 3 months. If he's getting them down at less than 80mph he isn't going to be much help I'd think.

jimmy has returned from injury against south africa and pakistan this year and looked way off his best both times.

i highly doubt he will have much impact should he play tomorrow. i'd be very tempted to give ball a go if i were picking the team.

Supposedly Woakes is fit to play, he just has a typical bowler's niggle. But if Jimmy's fit he'll play, so that's all it comes down to really.

He won't be useless ffs. I said he would be as good as Woakes, which doesn't make the team any better and actually weakens the batting, not to mention the potential for him to rush back and get injured again.

JImmy, if fit and clicking, is a bonus for England imho. I have no clue how fit he is and whether his pace is up to standard. My guess is that the England managemnt have a fair idea on how he does in the nets. The 'Woakes has a bowler's niggle" suggests Jimmy is in, and Woakes is out.

Dropping Woakes would be lunacy given that he's been England's best bowler this year. That's before you even consider his batting and his consistently kept hair.

All English fast bowlers have neat hair (Mark Wood aside). Seems to be some sort of contractual obligation, like the Indians seem to have with growing beards at the moment.

I agree they mostly have neat hair, but Woakes definitely is the leader of the attack in this regard. He gets a haircut every 20 minutes.

Woakes is clearly being rested if he's left out. He's bowled a shedload already this winter and there's 3 more games to go. Reckon he may come back for Broad/Jimmy in the 3rd then them make another call after the break for the 4th.
