No top class spinner.
Archer and Wood both quality fast bowlers and hopefully Stone can join them and we have 3 genuine quicks.
Fast medium department as well as Broad and Anderson theres a number who could give a good account of themselves.
Really the weakness is spin and top of order runs.
Foakes is the best keeper but Buttler is such a dangerous player with the bat its hard to leave him out.
