Brook's side
International Regular
Ffs Brook is not a serious bowling option. That will very likely be the only test wicket he ever takes. He's certainly not going to replace Ben Stokes as a bowler./

Crawley Duckett Pope Root Brook Stokes Foakes Robinson Broad Leach Anderson
- then 1st Test to fit in Bairstow and Archer
will Stokes do his share of the bowling or share it with Brook? Bowled 8 overs, got out Williamson in NZ.
will Archer be back from the IPL in time or play at Lords in the 2nd Test onwards?
will Bairstow take Crawley's place after the 1st Test? Bairstow should try opening at Yorks instead of the wicketkeeping.
