That's what has become of English test team post CWC 15. Used to play ODIs like tests (figuratively) and it's the other way around hence all the all rounders in the test side.

Too many 'Jack of all trades, master of none' IMO
Not that I'm a Luddite, but what happened to five batsmen, one batsman/bowler, a wicket keeper and four bowlersWe do appear to be stuffing the squad with players who can do a bit of both without being very good at either
How many Stokes/Woakes/Currans/Alis/Rashids or Bairstows/Foakes/Buttlers do we actually need in the same team ? Especially when our 'specialist' batsmen invariably leave us 39 for 3
I dread to think how shit we will be when Anderson and Broad finally run out of steam
