Not a great match for either but I can imagine Broad will be insufferably smug about his rearguard action to the point it might accelerate Anderson's retirement.

Not sure if he's still considered an England player but Dom Bess has had a match to forget. 10 - 0 - 73 -0 with the ball and a king pair with the bat.

Anderson did okay in the second innings.
I'm still hoping for that TRJ call-up. But it looks like Robinson has just got cramp, so that's not happening.
Stone out, Archer struggling to play, if Wood gets injured honestly can see Carse being our "fast" option.

Wood is at least fit. Don't know if the same can be said for Captain Stokes.
Robbing his IPL contract at the minute along with Jofra. Surprised they haven't been sent back to England yet.

For the record I never said that Robinson hadn't worked on his past fitness problem, just that he certainly did have one going back. To try and agrue there was never any issue at all is a batshit insane take
With that being said, even on one leg I would still back Robinson to deliver more than Henry Crocombe for example ever has or likely ever will

Cramp is clear evidence that he's unfit fat ****, obviously.
Not sure I'd want them to play any of Broad, Anderson and Robinson. I'm not sure of the injury status of Sam Cook but I'd be thinking of giving him a go, alongside Potts and maybe give Archer a chance to have a long form runout if he's in the frame for the Ashes.
I think we just have to accept that Stone hasn't got the body for it and take him out of international consideration.

Found it funny that you were willing to do this but still think Archer might play in the Ashes. I'm not even convinced he'll be a reliable availability for T20 cricket going forward.

Stop trying to make Potts a thing.

He was rested in the last CC game at the request of the ECB so maybe its them you should be telling to stop making him a thing.

If Archer was fit, there's no way Potts is ahead of him though.
Absolutely no doubt he's in terrible physical shape at the mo and simply cannot be relied upon to bowl more than 25 overs a day.
Oh I agree, but think his ceiling is higher than Stone so worth seeing how far he can recover. I suspect though that he'll struggle to be more than a limited overs player. If I was him that's what I'd aim for but credit due that he's still keen to play tests.
