Its a lazy opinion, what evidence have you got that he doesn't like test cricket?

He cried in the warm up of cape town when his elbow injury came back up?

He bowled an absolutely outrageous amount of overs in England and then NZ and broke down because of it.

This bloke is desperate to play for England and changed his whole life to make that happen.

Really unfair and just not remotely true.

He was earning big bucks in the IPL before he even played for England btw.
4 changes is ridicuous mind

I cant help thing this bowling rotation thing is all wrong.

Bowlers need overs and games, and the team needs to win games.

Seem to be testing out things for a series thats 18 months away. I don't get it.

I get what you're saying about the bowlers but Anderson and Wood have played one game on the back bad injuries, I don't think they've got much choice with those two. Archer has forced a change and Root was always going to come back. And we've lost 11 of our last 33 home test matches, that isn't good enough.

remember our conditions bring all opposition into it, its the hardest place to bat in the world

I do fancy windies here mind
whatever the reason though, you rarely win matches with that many changes

A lazy opinion, it may be but it's still an opinion so he doesn't need any evidence as he's not passing it off as fact.
 
I do like the look of this teaming, but I'm not sure what buttler needs to do to be dropped though. I know a lot of people like him, but essentially he is picked as a wicket keeper who can bat and his batting has been substandard. Surely dropping him for Foakes would save more runs than Buttler scores.

Buttler could then concentrate on the white ball game and look succeed Morgan as Captain with a brief to retain the world cup!
 
A lot of movement with the ball here like could be a hard day if bowlers get their line and length spot on soon see away the new ball.
