Anderson will surely play. The whisper is that Broad is not quite so certain. Probably it's Broad or Woakes - who could be another considered as a genuine allrounder. One might bet on him making more runs at No. 8 than Denly at three. This is not to diminish Denly - whose legbreaks are worthy of attention - in any way, but this will be a hardcore cricket match and the margins will define it. Woakes has a presence and recent form at Test match level. He plays spin pretty well and would approach his batting with a freer spirit than Denly, who could not possibly hope to be anything other than tight in his first Test match after all these years of dreaming.

Broad will continue to amaze. He feeds from the rumours, often finding his best when the worst is predicted. He has the skill to cut the ball, as he once did to win an Oval Test against the Australians, and if the pitch is really as dry as the Nullarbor Plain, this a useful - if not enviable - attribute. It is beyond a pity that his batting has lost direction Cheap Cigarettes Online USA. Had it progressed as expected after 169 at Lord's in 2010, he too would have the allrounder tag on his CV.

The selection for this match, then, is tricky. The ambition should be to embrace options rather than retreat to type. The generally inviting cricket played by Root's team during the last summer at home brought much joy. The chance to emulate such spirit and skill, the chance to grab the key moments with aggression and adventure is clear and present here in Sri Lanka. There is Herath's retirement party to crash too. It is a lip-licker of an opportunity.
