Cook is showing why we still need him and maybe a winter off would of been better

Jennings is unconvincing and you have to know where your off stump is to open. Good ball thou it was you have to cover that with your bat, if you nick it it goes with the job

Is it just me, or is Jadeja getting away with a lot of back foot no balls?

Root's red & silver New Balance stickers look nice.
I think that's the best colour scheme they've come out with for a while

Back foot no ball law is different to the front in that it doesn't count if the foot's not grounded - Jadeja gets away with it because his heel's in the air, just.

The worry for me is that it is not like he has been set up for this by a skilful piece of bowling like in the previous test - this time the two balls before he was out were both angled in to him.  He has just left a ball which did exactly the same as the last two deliveries, both of which he had to play a shot to.  He doesn't look capable of scoring quickly nor does he look capable of staying in for any period of time so it is hard to see how he is ever going to make a meaningful score on anything like a regular basis.

I can understand given that England have spent half a decade unsuccessfully searching for one opener that they are disinclined to have to search for two over the course of a winter but it is hard to see anything that Jennings has shown that he can hack it at this level.

It is a tough one for the selectors but I don’t see how they can pick Jennings any longer. Another new opener surely couldn’t do worse?! Perhaps average over 30  ;)

I rarely criticize test players as I know the work they put into getting there, but I can't think of an opening batsmen with a worse technique than Jennings, I can't believe there's no one better in the system.

Oh, I'm aware of the law.  I'm just not convinced that his heel is consistently "in the air".

A commentator gave an explanation last night that if the back foot touches inside line first it can then cut the line, was different than I understood it but they had asked the third umpire apparently.

There are better that’s for sure, one thing England seem to talk a lot about is the mental aspect as well as the technical and I believe I have read some where that the set up really like Jennings mental toughness. However good that may be his run of low and poor scores has been too long and his technical issues of not getting forward at all really will ultimately be his downfall as it was for Ballance. Both will be fine fine county players with excellent avg but international level I’m afraid neither are.

So really it should be Burns and then one other for the winter, Lyth, Denley or I’m not totally against Hameed and just saying your our man we back you off you go. I know he has had the summer from Hell for Lancashire but maybe he is one better suited to international cricket. Vaughn and trescothick had modest county avg before test cricket

The simple fact is that Smith was on TMS yesterday pretty much saying that Jennings would tour so it is what it is. Apparently he is being interviewed by Atherton for sky this morning so that will be interesting to see.

I think they want a bit of continuatity as Cook is retiring and also think Jennings can play spin well. Which let's face it Sri Lanka will be bowling from pretty much ball 1 anyways.

Also I know Jennings hasn't done great at all but apart from this test where Cook has, no opener has scored any runs at all.
Openers averages - Cook 28, Darwan 23, Rahul 16, Jennings 18
I think that will be taken into account.
