O/T:- The Ashes 2023

[Proactive not Reactive]

Wood was the biggest difference pace scares even the best batsman in the world and made a big contribution as did Woakes
Fewkes in for Bairstow for me and Anderson will probably come in for Robinson as it’s at Old Trafford

Agreed. If Wood is fit he must play. Definitely gives the Aussies something to think about. Also time to give Jonny "a rest".

Wood did seem to scare them, he offered something different that they struggled to cope with. I hope the reports that he struggles to play more than one test due to fitness are false. We have 10 days rest, so Broad and Anderson should be available and raring to go. Bairstow is a tricky one, he's had a poor series behind the stumps and with the bat so far, but his overall record is impressive. One last chance maybe?

Glad the selectors listened!
