Can understand the logic that Anderson and Broad need their game time managed, but, surely the 1st Test is pivotal.
If we weren't on the back foot already after so little game time before the series started, we are almost certainly 1 down now after just a day's play.
Having Anderson and Broad play in the 2nd test will be too late now and won't solve our weak batting line up which the Aussies will exploit ruthlessly.
