Not sure many thought it wouldnt be, but it's Stokes as captain.

Rumour from various other articles was that he'd only do it if Broad and Anderson made a comeback...

Rob Key on the Beeb said as much.

Also said he wants the best team available to be playing and that they would not overthink the team selections....that has to be an improvement.

I hope @Starshine has been watching the cricket rather than the football. .... 😉

A new start.... but let's pick those we've used (and who've failed) in the past....

Pope at number 3? He's failed further down the order, so why not give him a  chance to fail higher up? Many journalists say Craig Overton isnt test match quality, his twin is faster and more dangerous, but also more erratic.... so with the huge injury list of fast bowlers, let's got for the 'safer', less dangerous option.... after all, it's only New Zealand...

Crawley can't buy a run and Leach can't get a county game.

Still no Matt Parkinson either.

Same old bollocks really when everyone was expecting an actual change.
