Just a heads up my prior post wasn't meant to say moeen isn't English. I didn't check before I posted. Fair to say I've been marked down as the next nick griffin...

With Ali selected along with Leach and Bess, youd likely be looking at 5 soon options with the ball, which even in SL is overkill. Denly and Root can comfortably fill the void of Ali not being picked, then pick a specialist batsmen better than Ali, which shouldnt be too hard

But... In those conditions, with no danger from the short ball, I wonder if Ali qualifies as a specialist bat? If perhaps having a top three all questionable against spin might be too much?

Ali instead of Denly?

Is Ali that great against spin though? Lyon’s had him wrapped round his little finger for the last 2 ashes series

I don't think the pitches are going to be anything like what we saw last tour. Yes of course they will turn but I am not sure they will be 3 specialist spinner tracks etc...

I think if Denly is to be dropped because of his inadequacy against spin, then is it more likely to be Jennings that replaces him at 3?? Plus there is the Bairstow specialist batsman at 3 option also.

Gamblers choice..... it is going to most likely be between Denly, Bairstow and Jennings for THIS tour in Sri Lanka.

Joe Denly's pads are the wrong shade of blue. Village.

Banton seems to use a bat with a surprisingly small profile. The edges look tiny.
