God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

They have low confidence in the playing conditions, that can't be sure if it is going to be Bazball or a Test grind, so they gone 50/50.

But even so, if you accept they have gone 50/50, it doesn't explain some of the choices that make up the mix!

Marsh is a bazball choice so England have already dictated our selection theory, we have decided to play their way rather than stick to traditional test cricket imho. Warner can thank McCullum and Stokes for his ticket on this tour, if it was business as usual with Broad, Anderson and crew bowling on juiced up seaming tracks he wouldnt be playing...
