Ali back down to the tail where he belongs, although unfortunately that probably means no Taylor.
Surely Buttler will go too and Bairstow will wear the gloves:Cook, Hales, Taylor, Root, Stokes, Bairstow (wk), Ali, Rashid, Wood, Broad, Anderson. Taylor is a class batsman from what I've seen of him over here in Aus
I guess this highlights the rather obvious cracks that the Ashes temporarily papered over...
Tail starting at 5
Kp's in Dubai
It does anyway........
Humm, good point
If root opened with cook. It'd start at 3!!We really don't have more than the two consistent world class batsmen at mo do we? Stokes is the biggest disappointment to me, Perth vs Johnstone he looked a class above. Where's that stokes gone!
Tail starting at 5 Ashes was a poor series, two poor teams.
