Is Foakes genuinely the best RHB England have that's not in the side, or is it just because he's on the tour already?

Jennings was in the runs in the last game, and could presumably bat 3.

I think he’s the best keeper after bairstow, if Johnny bats 3 foakes takes the gloves, for me bairstow would be a decent number 3 for us

Boycott is spitting feathers about the Vince dismissal, and quite rightly too.

Yeah, he's got a lovely technique. Whoop de doo. The best player in the world at the moment looks a lot worse than most you see on a Sunday league match!

It's what's between the ears that counts at test level, and I'm afraid Vince simply doesn't have it. I think Stoneman does have it, and the Jury is still out on Malan for me.

Why do our batsmen do the hard work,get themselves in and give it away?So many soft dismissals throughout this series, it's unbelievable! Another wicket tonight and it's game over,if not already.

I've been impressed with his application through his fledgling test career so far, needs to make it count though and keep going! Come on lads!

From Cricnfo:

Quote
In this series Nathan Lyon has 9 wickets and averages 14.33 against Left handed batsmen while he has 1 wicket and averages 108 against Right handed batsmen.

Shirley we have to get Bairstow in before Moeen.
