Root's got to be partly to blame for picking the sides too surely?

The coaches getting sacked doesn't change the fact that Burns and Pope are the best batsmen in county cricketPlease don't say England is getting it's house in order just before the test series
Can we not have more examples of Stuart Board not playing on a trampoline pitch like on the last tour?!

Collingwood in caretaker charge for this tour.
Test squad named tomorrow. Names mentioned in press as possibly coming in Lees, Mahmood, Foakes, Bohannon amongst others.

Based on current rumours, you're gonna get your wish.

Tbh Anderson and Broad would obviously be a large threat, but I'm most concerned by Mark Wood. This generation of West Indian batsman are poor against real pace, particularly the short ball.
I won't lie though, not facing those two will be a relief.

Sounds like both Broad and Anderson not selected.
I can't say I'm too bothered about Broad's exclusion. His columns in the newspapers and interviews in the press always strike me as self serving. Bowled only ok the last year or so.
Anderson is a bit gutting. Continues to bowl well. And less of a dick than Broad (at least to his own teammates).
FWIW there is already a lot of hate and ridicule towards this move on social media and I'm sure there will be more on here. What I would say to that is that it's hard to really know what it's like in that dressing room. Anecdotal evidence but I've been in changing rooms where there are some older guys who've been around a long time and are cynical and disruptive, and just kinda bring the whole changing room culture down. Not bad guys so to speak, just been around the same thing a bit too long. Not saying that is the case here but who knows. It's obviously still a massive decision to undertake and to be balanced against their performances on the pitch.

Doesn't seem likely now but hope Robinson doesn't make the squad either. Broad and Anderson may be the grumpy old men of the changing room, but their fitness levels and performances across their career speak for themselves.

"Our batsmen can't score any runs. Hmm...lets drop our best bowler!"

Pope, Robinson and Woakes lucky.
Broad and Anderson unlucky.
COverton and Lawrence in the ashes squad but weren't deemed good enough to get picked in a team losing 4-0, and then still picked for the next tour, as is the way. Fwiw I think that was inevitable (especially in Lawrence's case), just funny, you're almost better of not getting selected in a tour like that.
Hope to see Mahmood or Fisher play at some point.
