Bairstow and Hales for me if your changing people or a wildcard Mitchell at Worcs.

Not time to panic though however just seen the facts and us being 3 down for under 50 often

Yes! I've been saying that for ages, he's consistently been a rock for Worcs - I'd back him

Root to 3, stokes to 5 and Bairstow at 6 for now.( I believe balance is the weakest link? And you don't want to dump 3 at ones in the middle of an ashes)


After this series look to replace bell if he's still in this form, and myth if he's not yet done anything.

Hales would be nice from an attacking point of view, but his 4 day form before ipl hasn't returned since he came back.


I reckon one day(maybe not this year) Sam northeast will be in the England set up somewhere.

Not such a flat pitch now!
That's why it's better to wait till both sides have batted before judging a wicket

Scores a gritty fifty in 1st test

Scores more than Cook, Root, Bell and Lyth added together (at this time, Cook is 18no).

Career average still touching 50.

Gone past 50 10 times in 20-odd innings.

He's not great to watch, but he is doing a job, a very good job at 3 to say he bats 6 for Yorkshire.

Maybe they should just swap Root and Ballance???

I'll happily admit when I'm wrong.

Tests in 2015



Bell is having a mare!

In the current lineup and in form I'd say Bell is the weak link.

Mark Wood has 4th best average...

So who here still thinks Steve Smith is overrated? There were plenty here putting their 2 bobs worth about him in the past.

Steve Smith has been amazing really. I'm not a big fan of his but you can't argue with his numbers. Id like to hope the Kiwi's are devising a great plan for him this coming summer. Stack the leg side and get Southee bowling at leg stump...

I see this match being a draw.

He is a bit blinded by patriotism that's all, bit like a lesser version of Gerry.

Few rat's deserting the sinking ship already, "New England" win the first test and all is sweet, couple of tough day's and it's all doom and gloom.

Clarke looks like he's on struggle Street. Battled away to make 7 and never looked convincing. Nevill comes off and reeled off an pretty effortless 40odd
