Fits with his prediction of Moeen being dropped. I can definitely see that one happening.

I think they'd just play four fast bowlers then.

Probably depends how Stokes is going. If we're assuming he'll get more fit to bowl as the series goes on (which may be a bold assumption) then they'll have less need for the fourth specialist quick by the time Moeen is dropped.

Stop being so unrealistic, ffs.
Only 6 of the series' 26 sessions affected by rain? Preposterous.

There's clearly more than one reason he's heading to Europe soon. I just hope he has the right shoes for a long hard slog in the field!!
