The URL breaking thing was really annoying though.
Almost as annoying as picking Sam Curran as a frontline seamer when you already have Moeen balancing the side. He's not in the top 20 seam bowlers in the country, let alone four. SCurran at 7 I get. SCurran at 8 is cowardice.

So what you're saying Nemo is......4 RFMs
I get what you're saying tho, he's looked toothless and has been expensive in comparison to the others, do think we'd have been better with COverton playing, better bowler and a better batsman
PS - I wasn't serious about the shower autocorrect, twas just a good excuse to bring that up again cos it's funny innit

Wood was bowling 94mph, he's nobody's RFM.
Four RFMs is fine with the dukes ball here anyway, it'll just get obliterated in Oz.

I still prefer some variability in my bowling line-up that isn't Joe Root's half-trackers.
That doesn't mean playing Curran if he's seriously off the boil, mind. But, I have to be honest: with the exception of Leach for Moe, this is the attack I would've picked.

More of this please. If they can't initiate a first-session collapse then that's the game done.

Well, big innings for England's batsman ahead. India with the sort of score which is neither out of sight not easily overcome. The best teams go past this, middling ones will get near and poor ones will fall well short.

200 wickets at 21.24 for Jimmy since the start of 2016!
Unfortunately it just brings our own inevitable collapse a lot closer... (although is collapse the right word if you never really get going?)

I realise I should have said 'batsmen' rather than 'batsman' but the slip is fairly Freudian.
