What a horrendous performance from this joke of a batting line up. There is so much wrong with this test side I could spend an hour writing about it and still miss stuff out. Too many all rounders, people batting 2/3 places too high and a 32 year old who averaged 34 in 14 div 2 matches called up to open, it's ridiculous.
In short, I reckon we need to create two completely different sides for the formats with radical changes and requests, including asking Cook and Bell to come back and telling Root he's not playing one day stuff again and telling Stokes he's not playing tests again. Stokes is totally overrated as a batsman, he and Curran are battling for one space and if you do play Stokes he should bat no higher than seven.
Tests for Ashes:
Cook
Burns
Bell
Root
Pope
Foakes
Curran
Woakes
Leach
Broad
Anderson
ODI/T20
Roy
Hales
Bairstow
Morgan
Stokes
Buttler
and so on...
Who's with me?
Ahhh, sod ya
