Your Two Thousand and Twenty Two Test side

[Howe_zat]

I hope it's something like

1. Lawrence
2. Hameed
3. Root
4. Livingstone
5. Bairstow
6. Stokes
7. Buttler
8. Woakes
9. Curran
10. Broad
11. Crane

But we all know the spinner will be some opening batsman who took up off spin aged 26 the year prior and the number 4 will be whoever's currently doing well for Ireland and/or SA under 19s

 

[NUFAN]

Are we still staying Two Thousand And? Is that still a thing?

No, we aren't staying this and it never was a thing.

 

[Howe_zat]

phew.

 

[Shady Slim]

so not a fan of bell-drummond or just think other options are better?

 

[Howe_zat]

I have a big first division selection bias, Lawrence only got my attention this week

Bit of a reach to expect Broad to play at that point.

Curran is Sam yeah?

 

[morgieb]

Add Strauss, Mohammad Yousuf, Sehwag, Trott and Bell to that.

Forgot about Sehwag. Though tbf in his last Test he was older than what Pujara/Rahane/Kohli would be. MoYo was 36 when he played his last Test.

Not sure that the three Englishmen count as genuinely top-class. Invariably though I find English cricketers have shorter careers than other countries, perhaps because they play so much.

Of course if one of them has some kind of ongoing injury record, that changes things.

 

[Shri]

Eng gonna get whooped for a few years, aren't they?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Cook
Hameed
Root
Clarke
Livingstone
Stokes
Foakes
Archer
Curran S
Fisher
Crane

Cook will be hanging on trying to beat Tendulkar's run record. Stokes may well be a busted flush by then given how much we play and his injury record. Bowling is a complete guess as I don't see any of the current side still being around in 5 years time. We have lots of good young players just not sure I have picked the right ones in my side.

Saeed Ajmal isn't eligible mate

...

I'll get my coat

 

[Howe_zat]

Also picking Stokes and Foakes but not Woakes isn't right

 

[fredfertang]

Not convinced Tom Curran isn't the better long term bet - will be interesting to see

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Also picking Stokes and Foakes but not Woakes isn't right

Woakes will be long gone by then. 5 years is a long time.

 

[grecian]

Cook
Jennings
Hameed
Root
Lawrence
Bairstow
Stokes

I'd pick Kyle Abbott if I knew the eligibility rules.
Umm a spinner, I guess Crane, but could be anyone.

Jennings
Hameed
Root
Lawrence

Bairstow
S. Curran

Wheal

Wheal pretty much just Hampshire bias, the bowling really is anyone's guess.

[CricAddict]

Rahul
Iyer
Pujara

Rahane
Rohit
Pant

Jadeja

Shami and Ishant might not last long. Iyer and Pant will get into the team while the rest remain the same but with powers on the wane.
