It's The Ashes (again)

[Cheshire East Baggie]

Oh Jimmy, Jimmy - - - 

One thing we've learned today is that England will carry a passenger in their bowling attack until the GOAT gets his 700 wickets or does the decent thing and packs it in. 5 wickets for close on 400 runs so far in this series. It was legit to pick him for Edgbaston because of his recent record, but after that no show we should have picked a team to win. Cronyism and sentiment doesn't win Test series.

Broad always turns it on for the Ashes. Woakes had the best figures. Wood scared the pants off them. Robinson, Tongue and Potts can all watch and wonder "When do I get a chance?"

Anderson & Broad must tour India in January 

Unless they aren't fit, I'd be really surprised if they weren't in the squad. Broad is undeniably our leading seam bowler on present form, never mind history. But the continued selection of Jimmy is perplexing.

He'll probably take five in the second innings.
