But he has intent. He likes to play shots. Burns boring, I like wallops.Dropping Burns to open with Crawley is such a ‘selectors losing the plot in the middle of a whitewash’ decision.

are you an English legacy media cricket writer in disguiseSue me but I think this England middle order is strong AF. I know there's potential for collapse but Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Buttler is intimidating on paper. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they get to 5-280 or something at stumps.
He is probably better at it than most but still probably why he isn't converting much. At least till last yearFeels like we've seen this movie before re: Root. Looking a million bucks again but he's playing at virtually every ball

Yeah let him focus on the limited overs stuff where he is good but showing signs of decline, no point in him tying to figure out the format of the game he has always been rubbish at in this stage of his career.Bairstow is absolutely junk. Totally mind-blowing that he's STILL a part of the test squad and comes into the XI for this game. Fuming
If you’re talking about next summer sure. But in the context of this series he’s not someone I’d even think to complain about just yetMight sound a bit harsh, but is there is a point in persevering with Malan now? Blokes 35 next September and it's just really frustrating the way he can't kick on. May as well go with a Abell, Lawrence or a Hain and just blood them next summer (or early next year)
In saying that, don't think he did alot wrong with that particular delivery. Cummins hitting hard lengths and extracting bounce and movement
One day I hope to be able to express a view on thatWhat’s better, Lord’s or the MCG?
Fmd the MCG isn’t the best cricket ground on the eastern seaboard.

I knew they'd do it - same as they've dropped Pope for a guy who's been rubbish at Tests for years.Dropping Burns to open with Crawley is such a ‘selectors losing the plot in the middle of a whitewash’ decision.
While bringing Bairstow in I don’t agree with I can at least see why Pope gets dropped but how is Hameed ahead of Burns?I knew they'd do it - same as they've dropped Pope for a guy who's been rubbish at Tests for years.
If this was an odi, yesSue me but I think this England middle order is strong AF. I know there's potential for collapse but Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Buttler is intimidating on paper. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they get to 5-280 or something at stumps.
Maybe you lot should put your money where your mouth is and agree to play it as one thenIf this was an odi, yes
