I'm genuinely surprised, but also delighted that the ECB have taken an approach to selection based on who they think the pitch needs (could be wrong) rather than sticking to a set formula. Kudos chaps, hope it works out for us!!
The Windies approach to team selection is staggering though, someone's got something wrong somewhere!
And a toss loss for Root, when did that last happen!?!?

Feel for Broad and Leach but can't really bring myself to be outraged, we have 15-16 good standard test cricketers all of a sudden and I wouldn't really mind seeing any XI of them in any order.
Except James Vince anyway
I joke, I joke.

Ha, good point on cricinfo. Curran has hit as many 6s as he has taken wickets in tests. (14)

I think this might have been my team. Not sure though. Who’d be a selector?

Ha, good point on cricinfo. Curran has hit as many 6s as he has taken wickets in tests. (14) And that in only 7 tests. If he carries on at this clip, he'll go past Adam Gilchrist for the world record in just 50 tests!

Not started well, wish we have a RFM bowling just short of a length outside of off to keep it tight like Jimmy

I’m going to regret the whole Curran ‘thing’ aren’t I. 😒

Moeen makes the breakthrough, too aggressive from Campbell.

How about not giving your impact bowler a 7 over spell Joe? Just a thought.

Hetmyer is batting in a floppy hat. After going a short period completely hatless. What legends are made of.
