Root & Brook (and possibly Pope) I'd say are all world class and would walk into the Aussie batting line up
I think Foakes on current form (and actually playing) has a stronger case than the captain.....
Brook and Pope will be undoubtedly - hopefully they will prove so this summer. Pope's average is poor for a player of his talent though. Brook's is of course ridiculous. I'm just naturally pessimistic when it comes to the cricket team

It should be a cracking series, but yes, I fully expect us to mess it up.
Yes but maybe not both. Wood and Robinson start the opener for me, with Anderson if fit. And Leach (for his batting)
Sorry, I meant playing them both in the same test. Fingers crossed that Stokes can bowl. I assume he's not playing in order to get fully fit for the series, so he can bowl
