*Official* Fourth Test at Trent Bridge

Norwood's on Fire
Smith and Kohli are the only two to have done brilliant overseas as well (literally everywhere except for England). KW and Root for all their magnificence have mainly done it at home.
Yeah but Kohli was tailender class in England. It's not a blemish, it's a huge black mark.

Agree that Root will obviously answer more questions when he's played more than like eight away Tests though

this is such a bad performance from Australia in the 2nd dig not just because they're 4 down, but because its also included 2 dropped catches and a wicket off a no ball. I mean ffs.

Well we could possibly debut an opener in a dead rubber and maybe drop one of Wood/Finn and we have no need to rush Jimmy back so giving a chance to a young quick isn't the worst idea, probably try Foottit as he is a left armer if we did go that route.

Very dry pitch may mean 2 spinners and Rashid though.
4 spinners IMO:

1. Cook *
2. Ansari (6)
3. Borthwick (7)
4. Root (8)
5. Bell
6. Bairstow +
7. Stokes (5)
8. Moeen (4)
9. Broad (1)
10. Finn (2)
11. Footit (3)

All of England's batsmen need to prove themselves this winter. Combined two tons in the UAE and South Africa in the entire team.

Who gives a **** about England. One black mark has somehow blinded people to his utter brilliance in SA, Aus and NZ (well not utter brilliance but still damn great). I'll take 3 magnificent tours and one bad one gladly (especially when they're the 4 best new ball attacks in the world).

Sure thing Healso
i was saying this before Healy was. Kohli was tonning up in the first test in Adelaide and I proclaimed that he should never bring her with him again.

Sure she rocked up to Australia and he continued to ton up which doesn't work for my argument. Maybe she should just rock up

Most definitely, got a lot to prove this winter but we got a fairly young side and we may surprise. May go belly up though.
