Not much quality in the batting, Smith aside...
Poms getting flogged by Ireland in the practice test....
Wood out for series, Archer will probably miss a test or two and Anderson battling to be fit for the first test....
Their openers are also undecided, they will probably give Jason Roy his first test and we all know he can play limited overs very well but test cricket
is different and their other probable opener is Rory Burns who averages 25. Will bat deep with Butler, Ali, Woakes but will
probably have to play a new quick in Lewis Gregory or Ollie Stone...the latter is very swift but erratic and Gregory is more your county reliable swing/seamer type who can bat a bit.
Aussies to win the first test IMO but England will probably regroup when they get a few injured players back....
Warner man of match in the first test....
