***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

Compton

International Debutant
Billings is a better wicketkeeper and its not even close.
Billings instantly becomes one of England's best fielders in the outfield though, and I think he's more valuable there than the difference between he and Buttler makes behind the stumps.

First Class Debutant

In India it will be more important to have a good keeper to take the chances off Ali and Rashid, Billings is outstanding keeping to spin.

International Vice-Captain
Root is demonstrating the difference in class between him and Roy/Hales.
sure but Root really struggled early on in the test match at the wanderers before making his hundred. I think the wicket with it's pace and carry just takes some time for England players to get used to. Root having hit two hundreds on tour at joburg is now comfortable with the wickets.
