Hope Root doesn't run Archer into the ground he is our ace world class bowler! Broad been very good in both matches also, Woakes though was a bit below par need to get Curran in this side he has something about him! Think I’d drop Roy have Buttler opening with Burns tell buttler to smash em.

Don’t think Headingley has been a happy hunting ground for fast bowlers in recent years, so the onus might fall on seam bowlers.

Any bowler who bowls 90+ is pretty dangerous on any pitch plus he has more strings to his bow than 90+mph balls.

He has the 11th highest batting average in test match cricket for England, ever.
Not even a test batsmen?
Nonsense.
3 innings over 100 in his last 20, and only 9 of the others over 50. He's a batsman on the decline. Probably still a test batsman because unfortunately there isn't much else about.

So he's scored over 50 in 12 of his last 20 innings? Those are pretty decent numbers so they don't really do much to support your argument.3 innings over 100 in his last 20, and only 9 of the others over 50. He's a batsman on the decline.

Agreed. He’s not to be treated as the messiah. If we beat the Aussies, we will beat them as a team or not at all. And it really is time for the top order batsmen to start pulling their weight. Is Anderson out for the rest of the series, as far as we know, by the way?

Definitely the 3rd and 4th test
1st thing
i said about 2 years ago get a full time spinner in the team and drop moeen ali because the team can not trust moeen with his lines to set plans, clearly the team is better with a spinner who can bowl to a field and plans set by the captain so tic off the spinners
2nd
we needed a out and out fast bowler even in england we been crying out for years for somebody to blow the better batters out of the water and ruff them up with chip music so we can now cross that of the list
3rd
we need a captain that knows what he is doing ?? and clearly yesterday board took over the bowling tac-tics and set the fields for archer and woakes ??? if root is captain then i don't see any ideas coming when we need it, 2 things yesterday and one of them is england could/should have won if we had a better captain, and archer swapping ends after broad was shot and when on a 5th day wicket and 2nd inns with pitch marks you bowl spin at one end and fast at the other. but root bowled archer far to long and they got use to it
any good captain would know that simple rule and 4 or 5 overs at best from archer and rest for a hour or so and go again ?? mix it up with swing and flat out speed at one end and spin at the other so poor again from root, but there is a faint light at the end of the tunnel and the 2 major problems have been fixed and showing signs of promise but the role of captain needs to be address and should we change with somebody already in the team or bring in somebody that knows the role
