Seems a ridiculous decision to me
Not against Starc on a quick pitch. Just need the top six to score loads :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:
Seriously - hopefully if Starc is a bit rusty he might leak a few runs which takes the control they have away. Otherwise we need Root and Stokes miracle innings again
Indeed - I do think Woakes is off colour, whether a reaction to the World Cup or just to the injuries he's had (and presumably would have been the one to drop out if Jimmy were fit). I can see the sense in Roy dropping to four. Would be tough to bring in Sibley now - one only Championship game in a while and he got 0 and 4. Plus he is more of a sticker than a dasher - as much as we need those I think him and Burns would be a touch negative at the top of the order.
Pope will come in at the Oval should we lose and will definitely feature in NZ/SA. Possible recall for Ian Bell as well :hide:
