A century for Daryl Mitchell - some things never change, and I dare say the selectors ignoring him will be another one
It will be Gary Ballance obviously. Root has been batting with him for the last week.Burns, Mitchell, Crawley top 3 it is for the ashes then ... until next week.
Nice to see Root batting a long time too in these couple of Yorkshire games.
Because his technique will get him pinned against the stumps, like last time.Ballance averages 46.44 at number 3 in tests and if he continues in his current county form through the season why shouldn't he be number 3 for England?
Because he's been **** since he was found out and has averaged a low 20.26 in his last 15 innings.Ballance averages 46.44 at number 3 in tests and if he continues in his current county form through the season why shouldn't he be number 3 for England?
Good to see TRJ back in action, even if he hasn't started brilliantly today.Hameed has already passed his highest score for the whole of last summer - against Murtagh, Finn, Roland-Jones and Harris as well

Can we turn this into a thread please, chaps? I would love to have a discussion about our enigma, Gary Balance.Because he's been **** since he was found out and has averaged a low 20.26 in his last 15 innings.
Same tbh. Although this top-order merry go round has gone on so long, and our options are so thin, I find it hard to get too upset about any selection/hypothetical selection these daysIt will be Gary Ballance obviously. Root has been batting with him for the last week.
Honestly I would probably hate it less than most.
Only 4 runs in the current match, he needs a lot more runs than that.Does Joe Clarke earn a test cap this year with mountains of runs, or are things a bit more complicated than that?
