Ali's bowling average is just as bad as Andersons, no way would Anderson go out and Ali come in for headingly. Where's the guarantee Ali can bowl the number of overs without doing his spinning finger in too?I could see Jimmy being left out and Moeen Ali coming in but then again I feel the Headingley pitch will be different to the first two and they will be more swing for the seam bowlers.
I'm glad I'm not making that decision.
Stick with Root, and give him more overs, but some of the batsmen need to do better, we're relying on three at the minute.
It's not like Ali has got any runs either, Anderson's batting average isn't far behind for the series.
