Should Rory Burns, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes make England's Ashes XI? Bob Willis and Phil Simmons discussed on The Cricket Debate.
Woakes did his chances of facing Australia at Edgbaston no harm with a six-wicket haul at Lord's as England torpedoed Ireland for just 38 on day three to win a Test in which they had been bowled out for 85 themselves.
But opener Burns and all-rounder Ali managed a combined 21 runs in the match and Bob believes it would be unfair for the duo to be selected for Thursday's Ashes opener in Birmingham.
