So Compton only signed with Gray Nics earlier this year, but seems to have gotten away without being tied into shoes and helmet

he got off lightly not having to wear their helmets and shoes

I have never really liked their trainers, or indeed their football boots though!

I've had a pair of their running spikes this year and they have been pretty decent - and crucially, they don't have a swoosh so the wife doesn't go on about Chinese kids working in sweatshops when I put them on!

Does anyone think that England would have been better served leaving Ian Bell out and sticking with Bairstow (or bringing in Morgan or Root?) Can't see what he's done in the last year that makes him an automatic choice. Granted, Cook went through a period like this before the last Ashes series but the difference was that it was the first time for Cook whilst this seems to be a regular thing for Bell. A couple of decent series then a slump in form. I'm still not sure he's all that....especially when you look at how dreadfully he's played in this last period.

I appreciate that a lot of people rate him, they say he's amazing technically, that he's great to watch etc etc but Trott is none of these things and I'd still rather have him batting for my life than Bell! I still think that he hasn't got it 'up top' ie mentally.

starting to really grip and turn now. Samit's turned and bounced, even though it was a poor ball it still created the wicket. Swann got one a minute ago that turned square.

It will sound like Yorkshire bias but I'd havE started the series with Bairstow and Root instead of Bell and Patel.  Bairstow was wonderful in the last South Africa test and deserved the selectors to show faith in him whilst Bell did not at any point look like he was focussed on the game, and Patel is nowhere near the standard required either talent wise or fitness wise.

Bell...is an enigma.  He is a naturally diffident character, who ought to be far more than CMJs "form player" in internationals, very good against quick bowling in English conditions but hit and miss against anything else and anywhere else
