The whole butter innings was a mess tbh. Looked terrible.

It was, but I don't think it's as easy out there as Root made it look. Pope never got going and I gather that Stokes got away with it through brute force when he wasn't almost getting out.

Should just slog a few, get all out and bowl a few overs at the openers.

This is pretty silly. He's actually terrible at downhill skiing in Tests, almost never makes runs when he comes in with a big score on the board.
Loads of his best scores have been in tough situations. I think he's a victim of his own LO success, people expect him to be Gilchrist. But in Tests he's more of a counterpuncher.

i just don't think fc averages of 20 odd are all that indicative of a guy being a capable #8 or #9 tbh. a guy like that is going to be either a southee or new broad-esque slogger or a battler punching above his ability, and in both cases you can shave off 5-10 runs from that average in test cricket. the counter could be thakur on debut but i think that's a peak and not the norm and i'll be surprised if he ever bats that well much more in test cricket.
unless someone averages 25+ in fc (which i see jofra almost does) then best to just treat them as a bowler imo, and even then 30 is probably the safe mark*
*all ballpark averages depend on nation and fc comp. averaging 30 with the stick in windies domestix makes a bowler a balanced allrounder.

of late he's been decent and looked composed. Coming off sl where he played well, I just found it surprising how poor he looked today. doesn't really matter given he's going home after this test.
