Yeah, I'd been thinking about Close as well but hadn't checked.

I looked at this but the youngest player to play with Chanderpaul was Shai Hope, b 1993.
Another one who might have it is Younis Khan but then you'd have to get a definitive answer on how old he is

I actually thought Howe was about that age, and the fact that you know for sure he isn't even though you only joined 20 seconds ago is odd.

Is that something you do every night?

Maybe he's planning to bowl spin. Wouldn't hurt to have another spinner in the team.

It is almost a shame (and I do mean almost) that Sanskritsimon hasn't seemingly made his way here. He'd have loved talking about all the spinners......

Yeah you should probably bookmark it for quick access.
In before he gets a niggle.

Who would have thought, a few weeks ago, that England would be playing a 41 year old as their only pace bowler.

Whatever it takes!!!
TBH, I always expected Anderson to play. And it was always a possibility that at some point in the tour they may go with only one pacer. I just never thought it would be Wood in that case. That was the surprise.
Anyways, hopefully India does the sane thing and play Washy, Patidar and Kuldeep for Jaddu, Rahul and Siraj. I wont mind Sarfraz for Gill either. Siraj can be a handful with a swinging and seaming new ball on most tracks but I dunno if he is currently up for it in terms of pace, energy and reverse swing skills to bowl those additional spells necessary and I feel Kuldeep will be a tougher proposition to sweep and reverse sweep on a wicket that should have good pace and decent bounce (both consistent) even if it does take turn.

I wondered whether Woolmer and Hayes might have been born after Close's debut, but no. 'Young' Frank Hayes was actually 29 at the time.

Yeah no point in debating about Gill or Iyer been dropped as not happening.
Those 3 changes make sense, add some batting depth which the sides needs with Jadeja out , Bharat no good and the top order dodgy while plenty of bowling.
Siraj is fine, but he brings less to the table then Washy, Kuldeep etc so he has to go sadly.
Rohit- Jaiswal- Gruesome Twosome- Patidar- Bharat- Washy- Axar - Ashwin- Kuldeep- Bumrah
I'd rather fat Bradman in then Washy but that line up as you suggests works for all.
