It has been a long, long time since England weren't picking Broad, Anderson, Stokes, a.n.other but often Woakes, as a quartet of quicks. We've been saying for a long time that there will be a period of transition, and getting Potts and Robinson some test experience while rotating Broad/Anderson/Woakes has been a good start, but it really does feel like the end of an era.
Stokes I think is a batter/captain now - maybe the odd spell here and there, but not selected as a plan A part of the attack. Anderson is on the home straight if not at the finishing line. Broad's still got it but for how much longer?
I think in the not very distant future we'll be looking at Broad, Robinson, and 2 from Wood/Stone/Tongue/Woakes/Potts. All highly competent, but it's just not the same aura as prime Jimmy and Co.
