Foakes in, don't care how it's done, we need a WC keeper
No, I'm not kidding. If your all rounder can't actually all round, then he's 50% of the player picked. Also if he's not fit then he's not batting or fielding at his best. He's currently a Mike Brearley. By the way, I'm not questioning his ability at all, he's just clearly not fit.
