    Depends on Bairstow on how he responds on return from injury. Tough to just to pick up where he left off. Definitely would be keeping Foakes. Robinson and Brooke have to play as well. Archer and Stokes would be a risk as both are under injury clouds (of course Stokes plays regardless of whether he can bowl). Broad and Anderson to rotate, I reckon. Not too fussed if Leach plays or not.

    Keep your eye on a young chap called Finlay Bean this summer, LA. Opener. Left-handed. All the shots.

    Be very wary of not having a specialist spinner. Especially on flatter tracks like The Oval.

    I have read about him - didn't he get some ridiculous in the seconds last year. Yorkshire do produce some decent batsmen

    I'd be surprised if he didn't play tbh

    Yes; I believe it was 441 that he got for Yorkshire 2nds. And then a wonderful ton on debut for the 1st XI this season. Just looks to have a wonderful technique. Think we'll hear a lot of his name in the next 15 years.

    I'd rather we tried to persuade Rashid to have one last red ball hurrah.

    Am I right in thinking we're using that bloody Kookaburra ball for the series?

    Not going to happen. Think he burnt his bridges with Stokes et al.

    Wasn't Leach the leading wicket taker (Tests) in the world for 2022?
