    I'm surprised that Mark Wood isn't in for Jimmy.

    He'd be a bit cranky if that happened.

    Do you mean that no spinner plays ?

    Unless you count Root. They’ve picked Tongue, Broad, Anderson and Robinson. Only one change to the side

    Shows how much I know …. I would have thought that we’d have played no spinner at Edgbaston but definitely would have for Lords.
    Anyway, let’s hope it works and at least it’s a good bit of experience for the young spinner … just being called up !

    I expect us to win. We only lost the first test because the missed catches n stumpings for Bairstow cost us over 200 runs.

    Jeez there’d better be some grass on the pitch based on their selections….

    If there's grass on the wicket, let's play Cricket.

    Surprised they have left Boland out on a green pitch. Pressure on Starc to justify his selection.

    Someone once said.

    If you win the toss then bat, if you lose the toss you hope the opposition captain puts you in to bat.
