Comms are trying to argue that England have actually weakened their batting by dropping Bopara. ****ing hell.

KP24: "Selection???? Dropping Bopara & putting Taylor at 6??? Are you joking???!!!! FFS! " See reaction at: BreatheSport - Device is not supported

Looks like KP did one of those quote RTs for himself. I don't get what the see reaction thing is either. Always tells me my Mac isn't compatible.

Taylor at six does seem pretty silly though. Of all the options to replace Bopara, I think this one made the least sense.
Are they doing that? I thought everyone would just move down one. Doesn't Taylor bat at 5 for Notts anyway? Don't know why he has to be 3.

They aren't going to get anywhere near this total. Can't see anyone in the lineup capable of a 60 in 40 type innings, which is mandatory in such chases.

Edit: Apart from Buttler

Apparently.

Nah he batted 3 last season; batted 4 for a while before that.

Don't know why he has to be 3.
It definitely doesn't have to be 3, but I don't think it can be 6. He'd be fine 3 or 4; 5 would be okay at a push but he takes too long to get set to bat 6 in ODIs for mine. He's a middle overs accumulator that takes a while to get set. I'd have sooner batted Ballance at 6 than Taylor I think.
