I think you did, yes

Foulkes is in for the remaining 3 Tests.

Dunno what would happen if he got injured though, with Buttler and Bairstow back at home. Have we got another keeping option out there? Can't think of who, but assume one of the batters must have done it before?

        Good, he can bat a bit as well. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Feb 9, 09:34:21
        
        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
