Worrisome... perhaps

Lots of rotation of bowlers to see what works, but 350 may end up being a par score on batting Friendly pitches with shortish boundaries a la Southampton and Bristol. Archer is needed in my opinion as his pace is insane and offers us something different - the left arm Willey aside, our seamers are quite samey.

Incidentally none of the pitches we’ve seen will be used in the WC. I’m volunteering at the WC - media team at Bristol - and we were told that the icc has ordered specific types of pitches, though for obvious reasons they wouldn’t tell us what. Most likely ones that guarantee big runs
