I'd say so because we can afford to let a few runs go now.

But spin is looking dangerous too

Anderson almost at the end of his career.

How will we cope without Broad as well?

2-2 would be a moral victory for us given we had by far the better of the drawn test. In fact that was the only test where one side was really dominant.

Hard to accept though too. We could have feasibly won every test. Could have feasibly had a 5-0

Hope Wood can put his injuries behind him. We've got a few good options coming through. Robinson, Tongue, Potts. Woakes always looks good in England. And maybe, maybe, Archer come back.

Yeah, may be right. But time for pace at both ends?

There's some sadness watching the Broad aeroplane celebration knowing we won't see it again

Interesting timing. David Warner just reversed his own decision to retire
