Denly has made good and important scores. As above Crawley has shown consistent improvement. Denly has shown he can get starts but has done a shocking job of converting this 10-30 starts into even 50s let alone match defining scores. Given the respective ages I see no reason to keep Denly in.

Yeah I think if you look at scores alone Denly doesn’t look great, but it’s the crease occupation he’s done well at. I think he’s done alright in his role.

Given the respective ages I see no reason to keep Denly in.That's my view as well. I guess we'll see, but on a practical level, how many players are actually in 'the bubble'? Say we got 5 cases of food poisoning (unlikely) would we have the players to replace them?
Looks like Broad and then Woakes or Curran as the replacements. I'm ok with that, I didn't think Wood or Jimmy would play all 3 anyway, for different reasons they're both injury risks that aren't worth taking given the options we have.
