Which is against Wiganas we face desperate fight to haul ourselves up into 4th position
Which is against Wigan
would swap positions with us.
It will be a walkover. 3-0 to The Arsenal.
wigan will be very open at back as they have to win
every other club would love to have our financial and material resources.
The reality is that we are underachieving compared to our resources. We don't any top quality players yet our wage bill is amongst the highest. A club of our wealth and size should not be settling for hanging onto 3rd/4th place year after year and thinking that having a couple of cup runs to quarter finals is enough. We should be winning things regularly.
Or Spurs?
Bairstow has a storming series against New Zealand, scoring an eighty and two tons against the Kiwis in three innings.
Root does well too, scoring a ton and some other starts.
Compton has a mediocre series, averaging 34 against a middling (and that's generous) attack.
Then we need to get KP back in. Root won't be dropped after his performance against them for the Lions which means that if Bairstow had excelled, they'd have to open up with Cook and Root, have KP at 4 and Bairstow at 6. Shirley?
Compton will open in the Ashes. No point thinking anything else will happen imo.
If he finishes the series as top run scorer (he won't) I can't see them dropping him. It'd be pretty tough to justify.
