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.
That's what they're saying to Jennings - whom has a better average against better attacks this summer than Hameed has. Jennings has not exactly covered himself in glory, but he's a good player of spin, and this series has been horrible for openers. If you're going to pick a player and back them even in failure, why should Jennings be treated any differently? That said, I do like Burns, and I do like Mitchell - both good players in good form.
Just seems like with a lot of these players people are willing to write them off as not good enough immediately. Smith was dropped by Australia and came back stronger, but I suspect that if people like Vince or Jennings or Stoneman or Westley were recalled people would be aghast at the backward step, not considering whether or not they'd managed to improve their games.
