Not rocket science is it. As much as they are both amazing bowlers I think

Broad and Anderson need to be guided by a firm bowling coach (or captain) which is why Bayliss's style of leaving the players to just get on with it sometimes doesn't work that well, particularly early in a series.

Broad in particular can be practically unplayable when he gets his length right (and tends to get hat fulls of wickets when he does) but has a tendency to drop too short.

Woakes is just perfectly suited to these conditions really and would have done well at lords as well I suspect.

The big issue for playing away is finding that player who can bowl 5mph faster to cause problems on flatter pitches. Here's hoping Norwich boy Oli Stone can come through!
