Should Ali be promoted to bat at 7 with Buttler coming in at 8.?I think they should exchange positions.

I would personally think about dropping Buttler, giving Bairstow the gloves and bringing in another bat or Rashid if they think it might spin.
No doubt he's a very effective one day player, he seems stuck in two minds though playing test cricket. Hopefully Bayliss has a word and tells him to play his natural game.It amazing how things change. After Buttlers brilliant one day inning loads on here were saying he was our best player, it was an insult he was batting behind Stokes and Ali but for me he is a very talented but totally unproven player. I would have him at 8 with the instructions to be far more positive.
am I being whooshed?I'd open with Ali, and bring Rashid in. Buttlers place remaining the same.
Nope. Drop Lyth.am I being whooshed?
Modern as opener hardly came off during the one-dayers and red ball opening is a very different thing.Nope. Drop Lyth.
Always been an advocate for old Modern to open with Cook.
I'm not adverse to that idea tbh.Nope. Drop Lyth.

He's more a test 6 than Flintoff ever wasWill get pelters on here for it but I'm not convinced Stokes is a test 6. We've got three number sevens in my mind but that in combination makes for a cracking lower middle order.

A better batsman to my mind ....He's more a test 6 than Flintoff ever was

Flintoff 79 tests 5 centuries
Stokes 14 matches 2 centuries.....
Yes, but do you recall when flintoff first got into the side, he looked overweight, was a trundler and was dropped and then he went away and reinvented himself as a demon fast bowler.......Ali is poor against the short ball, he'd get absolutely peppered!
That said, couldn't do a much worse job.
Flintoff the better bowler though.
