UK Redsox:
Just been looking at England's fixtures for 2018 and the way the season is structured seems different/strange.

eg Aussies over for just white-ball games and the India Tests at the back end

Yep bit surprised about that as well.  Good to see Wood back in and hopefully he can regain some form. 

Been watching a bit of other cricket after the Ashes finished and was interested to see South Africa field a pace attack of Steyn, Morkel, Philander and Rabada against India.  Steyn got injured, but that is some pace attack. 

Also interesting to see Olly Stone of the Bears picked out by Steve Harmison as one of three players to watch this coming season on a cricket show earlier.

To be honest Curran looks well short of test level at this stage of his development. He may get there in a few years.
