I'm not sure reaching 700 wickets is that much of a big deal, beating Warne's 708 is a much bigger fete.

Was just thinking .... first morning at Lords , beautiful sunny day and bowling an opener in front of a full house sending the rabid MCC members into a sea of pogoing OAP's
Instead of a junk tailender wicket at 5am UK time at the end of a massive Indian innings before England hurtle to an innings defeat inside 3 days to set up 2 DAYS OF GOLF
Maybe like Warne bowling Strauss through the gate on Boxing Day at the G on the way to taking 5/39 setting up an innings victory for 4-0

I see Anderson is up to 699 wickets now
Not sure he will really want 700 to be an Indian tailender to wrap an innings with England miles behind and on track for an innings defeat
Might save it for the first Test of the summer ... v West Indies July 10-14 at Lords

I don't think Foakes batting is an issue. All England will do is replace him with the tubby ginger northerner who has pretty much the save average as him recently.
Foakes has faced the 3rd most balls in this series. He knows how to stick around which is massively useful when you have a team of BATTERS that like to throw their wicket away.

India might sneak in a few overs tonight
Had a quick look at Foakes Test record
Has played 25 Tests with 19 of them away from home .... Sri Lanka, Windies, India & NZ
8 of his Tests have been away in India where presumably they thought a better keeper was needed ... but that wouldnt help his batting
Needs a run of home Tests to cement his place ... in those 6 home Tests he has scored 240 @ 40

"An option is for him to take the Turtles"
No. He hasn't kept for Surrey for year because of, well, you know who.
James Rew is a distinct possibility if his first season form countinues for Somerset with bat and gloves. Apparently he is a very good keeper as well.

"As I said, rarely looks 'in', and is too scratchy to bat 3."
Yet somehow, he averages over 42 batting at 3 in tests (before this one (with 4 centuries), in 33 innings.

Ollie Pope is such a strange one, I never watch him and ever think he's in. Obviously that 196 will keep him in the team now until he retires, and it was class, but it's an anomaly, look at his first innings in that Test, and everything since. As I said, rarely looks 'in', and is too scratchy to bat 3. Yes he could get a score in the 2nd innings, but he's not for the long term imo.
An option is for him to take the Turtles, really get him to focus on his keeping, and have him at 6/7 where he could do some damage on occasions, would be brilliant with the tail. He's a middle to late order batsman all day long. I've always backed Foakes, but unfortunately he just isn't a good enough batsman. Him batting with the tail is excruciating.
If not, then Jamie Smith surely has to be given a go to keep, and bat Pope at 5, Bairstow really has to be dumped for good, regardless of the 2nd innings here. I'd rather give Brook a go at 3 playing BAZBALL, has the confidence for it.

Yeah but no but
Thats true but at the end of the day there is really only one Test series that matters
As shown by Englands attitude to defeat in India .... SO PROUD, AT LEAST WE ARENT EASY BEATS (ignore that 434 run defeat)

Shane Keith Warne
versus India - 43 wickets @ 47.18
in India - 34 wickets @ 43.11
everyone has anomalies on their record. Even the greatest.
Or i could just be a giant bellend and claim that Warne was bang average against the likes of Tendulkar & Dravid, and made hay against Mark LATHWELL and co. The bowling version of a flat track bully. Meanwhile, James 'Jimmy' Anderson dismissed Tendulkar 9 times in test match cricket at an average of 23
