Roy has always been the right man for the job, he just needed to give himself half a chance to get in first, even the very best players play themselves in a bit....
So pleased he has got runs now he is young and will improve.
Bairstow...well he's been in the best 5 batsmen in the Country for a while now, the problem has been getting him in ahead of someone else. If you were being ruthless you might say he should of played instead of Morgan for the last 12 months
But it does show we are so strong someone comes in and gets big runs when another player missed out for whatever reason.
Bairstow stays in for me opening and so does Roy.
Hales may or may not be in danger of loosing his contract with Stokes, but even if he was available has to sit out.
The only way to get Hales back in would be for Morgan. That's harsh but there's no other spaces.
