some will themselves, and their fans likewise, as pivotal and therefore 'worth' a review
may also be indication they know they can't afford to get off to a bad start
They all got confused about bazball test cricket and ODIS... Have no idea what to do in ODIs

Bairstow is key. If he hangs around, England will win.

You would have got great odds predicting Kohli and Root getting a duck in the same game.

Averages 48 at 87 SR. Won a World Cup. It’s not been a bad career..

plays more or less the same kind of pragmatic approach, problem is if you use up balls "playing yourself in" you either need to get a big score by accelerating to required run rate, or get a big score when run rate is less of an issue and he comes up short on that score too often
I'd not have him in any other format than Tests, he can play short formats but isn't head and shoulders above the rest, well not maybe until recent showers of batsmen

I never said bad. I said overrated. Kane is a better actual anchor than Root because he delivers more in tough conditions and/or during collapses etc. Root is more fluent than Kane though so it's a debatable comparison whereas I think Root is clearly ahead in tests.

That's utter bollocks he did it for years.
He's just been sporadically involved since 2019 and so lost his touch. Trying to play a different way to what made him so good hasn't helped.
He's done it in tests too even albeit his numbers remained good.
He always was and still is! Yet siraj got overrated based on few brilliant performances. While Shami has been consistent for long periods.

Incredible spell from Bumrah. Wish we could clone him. The two bumrah's combined could even have a 50 test career.

Really really want Shami to pick up 2+ wickets today so he can displace Siraj from the XI.

No. Outstanding Test player that has a plethora of great knocks under pressure. In ODI, he has been more of a downhill skier which is naturally disappointing from an anchor. Still a very good ODI player. But a bit overrated in this format imo.
