It's The Ashes (again)

[wba13]

I think we have to have a little faith in Stokes and McCullum the way we have played in the last 12 months is astonishing, they obviously wanted some pace in the side and Wood hasn’t played any form of cricket for 3 months,so Tongue was the obvious choice for pace, where as Woakes will only be picked if one of the 3 seamers are playing rubbish or injured.
As for Foakes yes he’s unlucky but to have a batsman like Bairstow coming in at 8 must be a good thing. He’s no mug as a keeper and a brilliant batsman. Bairstow is not an opening batsman in test cricket yes in the one day game but as Jason Roy found out 5 day game is totally different.
