I’ve had a look, and yep. No one predicted this swap on here.
We just aren’t seeing what the selectors see are we. Us are them that’s clueless?
initially thought Ed Smith got it right, buttler proved a good selection but more recently he seems stubborn in picking people.
Obviously there isnt a lot to choose from which is forcing his hand somewhat.
i disagree with moving roy down, he either opens or doesnt play, sibley is the only viable option i think to replace
pope is scoring plenty this season and probably should play btu hes yet another 5. unless he moves to 3/4 for surrey he'l be unlucky or we will slate smith for picking him out of position or not picking him.
that being said denly and roy could both hti 100s art OT and we'll be praising the decision.
One thing that can be said is bayliss clearly doesnt care any more and i dont think hes trusted by root and smith to make the calls that need to be.
