We haven’t even lost this yet(Aussies 80 all out would change people’s tune) but why not play selection. It’s cbf
Burns is looking like he’s getting to grips with this level. Confidence growing. He looks like he’ll have to rely on pure grit over talent for runs, but can see him scoring big against some of the lesser attacks than Aussies have.
Roy is not a test opener. Feel sorry he’s been thrown into this. Robson, Lyth, hales were and still would be doing a better job than the Roy, Jennings, stoneman attempts did.
Root. He’s stil our best player, but something shcanged, maybe it’s thw wc hangover, or him being constantly present in all formats. But he’ll click at some point...... hopefully....
Denly, he doesn’t have a W.C. hangover, so stick with him. Like burns he looks a tad more comfratabel every innings. Weather he turns out to be good enough or not who knows.
Buttler stokes bairstow!!! Pick an order and stick to it. God sake.
Buttler, I know why he’s there, he was better than a lot at tests before the W.C. build up, but not since. Maybe he needs a rest, maybe the W.C. hangover is strong.
Stokes is the boss.
Bairstow...... depends how he goes here. Him and buttler a toss up to drop. Could be both.
Bowlers be fine.......... I’d still drop broad.
So if we get thumped here. And it looks likely. I’d go.
Burns
Woakes
Root
Denly
Stokes
Foakes
Curran
Archer
Leach
Broad
Honestly no idea on who to open. The ones we dropped who could have been decent have dropped off, or retired from red ball.
Is there any point throwing in sibley or Crawley? Nope, could kill them before they get going.
