Maybe we need to use the Kookaburra ball. It does less than the Duke ball, meaning the bowlers have to do more to get wickets.We all know you have to pick Broad and Anderson in the English summer, simple, it swings around corners.
It's when we go on tour and down under that questions are asked ? We pick the same bowlers, knowing it does not swing like it does at home and don't have an option to turn too.
The system is the problem and the ECB putting all their eggs into ODI cricket and sod test cricket.
This summer will be the same under stokes and jimmy and broad will win test matches and all things are rosy again.

Maybe, but the Aussies do alright over here with bounce and spin with the duke ball
I just feel with jimmy and broad England and the ECB got lazy in not producing fast bowlers
you need 90mph not 80mph that can swing it overseas ? Bending your back and using chin music, that nobody likes.
All England have is woods and archer, but they are never fit enough to play more than 1 or 2 test before breaking down. Also, we need the spin bowlers that can bowl a magic ball ? Leg spinners
It was used in Division 2 in the CC in 2011, and teams stopped selecting spinners as it was so helpful to the seamers. Division 1 used the Dukes.Maybe we need to use the Kookaburra ball. It does less than the Duke ball, meaning the bowlers have to do more to get wickets.

That surprises me as the seam is less profound on a Kookaburra ball and it loses shine quicker.It was used in Division 2 in the CC in 2011, and teams stopped selecting spinners as it was so helpful to the seamers. Division 1 used the Dukes.
Come the business end in August/Sept teams were opting for all seam bowlers, and that experiment ensured the Dukes was chosen in future years. 11 years on and the balls may be different, but what happened in 2011 did the Kook no favours.That surprises me as the seam is less profound on a Kookaburra ball and it loses shine quicker.

Looks like the rain has done it’s job for Lancs today.
Hopefully a few more draws elsewhere.

20/20 finish at Headingley.
Yorkies need 114 of 20 overs.

It's the hardness of the wickets overseas and less dew on the grass that's why the ball does not last
swing is about the shine on one side of the ball, not really the seam other than having facing up
