Never had time for these batsmen who have beefed up an obscene average having faced dogshit attacks their whole career.

At least Cook etc have genuine technique & would have graced many an England team in decades gone by.

Unpopular opinion but f•ck it...

He is undoubtedly the best wicket keeper batsman we have of this era and was our player of the year in 2012. He cant do any more than be the best we have now.

That probably says more for how good the standard is in this era as opposed to how brilliant a batsman/keeper he is/was.

Matt Prior averages 12 more than Alec Stewart iirc.

Yet he isn't fit to tie his shoelaces in terms of technique, glovework & knowledge of the game.

I appreciate its an unpopular opinion but just saying...
 
Wouldn't mind seeing Compton brought back for the final test, with Root dropping back down the order. Bairstow can do one. Maybe rest Anderson for Tremlett too (or Onions if he's fit).
