Root has only had 2 goes and two of them were fairly unlucky dismissals. I think he deserves at least the full series before anyone judges him.

Absolutely, I think he has a lot to learn, as he is only 12 or something.  I think he has a couple of series in him before he is being questioned but we will have more of a inkling at the end of the summer.

The question is, if he doesn't make the grade as an opener, do you put him back to 6?

Watson needs to take credit for that wicket.

Rogers didn't use a review, because Shane Watson had already wasted one.

Watson is about as popular in that dressing room as a kid with lice.

I guess he should be given a bit of an outing - he does look about 12!
Will be interested to see how he does over 10 or 12 matches!
2 down now...more luck than decent bowling!

Maybe because he averages 65 at #5 and about 23 at #4.

Pretty straight forward, I reckon.

I understand the stats. Last test he batted 4. Now he bats 5, Wondering if they felt Hughes is stronger at 4.

Poor effort in the slips there.

Compton did get much time so neither should root

I don't believe in this settling in it england not some junior team

If somebody isn't doing I get somebody in who can

Said ROOT should have stayed at 6

Hughes is stronger in the shorter form of the game....so I'm sure he will bat where he's told.
Clarke has been very strong at No5 so that's the way they need to play it!
As much as I love to see Clarke batting when he is on form, (which has been quite a bit lately) I still would prefer to see him batting well against other teams!  ;)

agree mate, there was certainly a mark but not sure it was from the ball.

The mark was his back leg and did not deviate the mark was there before the ball passed
