*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

International Captain
Nonsense, there is really no reason why we can't move anyone up(Stokes, Bairstow, Pope, even Foakes) to open and they'll be as good/better than Zak, Then Foakes could come in, improves the side all-round, better batting, better catching.

Probably too early to talk of dropping Pope, he's done fine at 3.
We can do that but do you see it happening?

stokes and mccullum are all in on Crawley despite his odd decent innings but mostly failure

starc had done what Boult and Southee did last summer

there is no one out in the counties banging the door to come in

That shot Root guided to third man is the reason he’s never made a test hundred in australia

Why would we want to drop Pope? His test stats are very respectable.

Meeting Coldplay, what a thrill, one would hope the other members of the band other than Chris Martin introduce themselves to you, as otherwise you would think they're roadies or summat.

Don’t disagree but it won’t happen this series now he’s made 50 in each of the first two tests

Wow that’s come back up the hill a mile
