Gabriel has too much muscle mass, needs to lose some. Sacrifice 'the look' and get leaner. Quality bowler though.

Wonder if Hameed will replace Jennings for next week? Wouldn't be against it despite just one decent score, looks to be a better long term bet than most we have tried.

A Cook / Hameed / Stoneman top three (in any order!) would be my preference with Westley moving to five.

But who can predict the England selectors whim at any given moment right now?

Think Westley will stay at 3 and Hales will bat 5. Why was Hales at 5 for Notts?

Wait then why should he get leaner if he has a bodytype suited for fast bowling?

I meant is atypical. If you can find me a fast bowler who looks like him in the past who didn't have injury issues then fair enough, but every stacked with muscle guy I can remember broke down a lot.

Good lord....Cook, Hameed and Braithwaite opening the batting in one test series. If that doesn't send me to sleep nothing will. I wonder if anyone will manage a completed innings with a strike rate above 40? Every time I go to Lords Cook gets a hundred and watching him live is definitely not a thing of beauty. Still, Braithwaite is considerably less entertaining than him even.

I guess for England that's fine though because the middle/lower order score so quickly.

Knew we were getting a bit ahead of ourselves with Hales.

If Malan goes on to blast a bunch of runs then fair enough, but I really don't think we need to see any more of him. They should have just accepted he was a nonsense pick and moved on.

Not sure why Malan stays in. Can accept the rest and presume Crane is getting the 2nd spinner role for winter.

You think he's replacing Moeen? :ph34r:

Malan I guess is just staying for consistency with the amount of chances other recent players have been given.

Yeah it is too early for Crane. Hard to see him actually playing in these games so don't see why they even bother having him the squad.
