It’s a done deal. Roy and Archer in against Ireland... and barring any issues issues onwards to the Ashes.
Ecstasy instead of Mogadon? Anyway, one match should be enough to get rid of Boycott - they can revert to plan A then.England have proven many times over that their aggresive short form game does not translate to test cricket

Why not just keep the WC team and slip half a Mogadon in their tea to slow them down to Test Match speed?
On second thoughts, don’t bother - let them go full pelt. Then Boycott would auto-combust from apoplexy and I could listen to TMS again without having to switch off every hour or so.
No no. I have tickets for the Manchester test, day 4.
It wouldn’t reach day 4 playing like that.
Still might not...
MV on TMS, supported by Cooky, suggested Roy/ Bairstow as the best choice for Ashes openers.
