He averages 40 in ODI but he's only played a handful of games.

He hasn't had the same run and backing in test matches that others have had to truly show whether he is good enough.

He has improved massively on the player he was two years ago too.

Your correct with regard to  Bairstow not having a prolong run but his average of 40 iAs been boosted due  to a couple of match winning not outs once these are removed his average drops.

Klinger has to be a bit unlucky not to be called into the Aussie squad. He's been in some great form.

Inflating your average with match winning red ink, what a Liberty! 
Makes you wonder about the (in)competency of the selectors a bit...

Just like Bradman then. He had one 'not out' in every 10 innings, boosting his average

Nope. He was just bumping his average up against weak bowling attacks

I would have hoped the smiley face at the end of my comments let people know it was a joke.

Roy has changed my mind recently, I always considered Hales to be the better of the two openers but this series I've gained a lot of respect for Roy, looks calm, collected and has the big shots when needed too, shame he hasn't kicked on to a really big score yet but I'm now confident he will sooner rather than later.

Roy Taylor and Morgan all making 50s so far

Taylor looks to be wearing the 2016 power bow gloves to. Dont look too bad in real life.

I think England are hanging their hopes on Hales opening in the UAE. It might work out there i'm just not sure.
Hate to put a downer on the guy before he has had a chance but not many players can really take apart quality bowling-you need something to fall back on when it gets tough....

Oh dear - sounds like we are going into Test match mode!
