But you did say we should have played Broad in this Test

We're thinking of the future as well as just the next Test - so alternating them. it's worth it.

        To be honest Foakes was very unlucky to lose his place after his last appearances. He's a (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 10:12:33

        Oh, James Bracey is out there among the reserves. Think it would be him. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 9, 09:27:31
        
        Bairstow's back for the final two tests, I think? (NCFC) - Basil Wrathbone, Feb 9, 09:34:55
  - Foakes for butler and broad for Jimmy I reckon. (NCFC) - stanleh, Feb 9, 08:13:11
    - Not sure they should swap Jimmy out right now (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 08:17:48
      - But you did say we should have played Broad in this Test (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 9, 08:21:01
        
        I did say that yes. We have a wealth of options to be fair and (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 08:26:38
      - agree about mo. what about broad though? (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 9, 08:20:58
        
        Broad deserves to play, so does Jimmy. Do you rest Archer or does that (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 08:28:17
        
        We don't play Broad or Anderson together. We alternate them. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Feb 9, 08:54:11
        
        That’s not quite true though is it (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 09:31:01
        
        I think if you play them together would 3rd or 4th be a better option? (NCFC) - megson, Feb 9, 09:38:26
        
        One is under lights (third test possibly?) so i think they want Anderson in that one (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 9, 09:55:23
        
        Yeah I agree, isn't it nice to have a few good options to consider again (NCFC) - megson, Feb 9, 11:58:52
        
        Particularly as we have something like 14 tests this year. (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 9, 09:29:45
        
        This. Not sure back to back tests is a good idea for Jimmy regardless. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Feb 9, 09:06:14
