This is like a ****** version of England's lineup

wickets keep falling, batsmen keep coming, but outside of 2-3 names you don't really expect any of them to score any major runs

Agar showing that quality spinners can get batsman out even though they aren't spinning it away from them.

Any hack can take wickets when their stock ball is turning away from the bat.

What people don't really get about Nevill's batting average is that he rarely came in under "normal" circumstances. He missed a lot of innings against weaker sides due to declarations (remember how Voges was making runs for fun against the West Indies? ) and when he did bat it was often after a mid-order collapse. He was often coming in at 5-100. Is ridiculous to expect your keeper to do the heavy batting lifting.

Just before he was dropped, Nevill scored a gritty 60* trying to save a test match that the middle order had lost for us.

Blaming your wicket keeper for Marsh/Voges mistakes is not a good way to pick a team.

Burns, Voges, M Marsh were all not up to snuff against the top teams (Burns and Marsh may yet prove to be good enough in future but they were rightly dropped after the South Africa debacle). Nevill got caught up in their purge.

Going back to Wade was a mistake. The selectors should have given Hartley a run instead and if he failed, gone to whichever keeper was in form domestically. Wade was not in form and he was dropped the first time because he wasn't good enough. Time to give the gloves back to Nevill.

Bairstow has literally made a career out of coming in at 100 for 5 and counter attacking. It's a weak excuse and one that got Mitch Marsh so much rope in the side, literally the same argument was made for him on here.
