So no look at an angle from in front then? Very quick to come to a decision when you consider the time they took over the Root effort in the last Test.

I expect in the next half hour we’ll get an image that casts doubt on that.

I wouldn’t be dropping him now

but this is test match cricket he’s had a lot of low scores this series and you have to have some doubts long term

averages 32, I mean not great like

sibley n Crawley were excellent together in South Africa but he’sdone nowhere near enough to replace Burns Crawley

I’d keep as is just think there’s pressure there, and he will be feeling it. Remember Denly was dumped after averaging 2 less than that
I really don’t like the balance of the team mind

think if stokes is out you have to trust spinner to bowl a lot rather than take a batsmsn out

Denly had more games and is older, Crawley averaging less than burns is he under pressure

Goes to show the issue we have without Stokes, balancing the team is a nightmare.

I afree it’s not easy

I just think the most important thing now is to score 1st innings runs consistently with a solid top 6

feel you develop good habits n partnership

if stokes goes down in India in the winter would we play only 5 front line batsman?
