A post sticking up for him as I’ve seen a stack of criticism (which I can understand).
For years we’ve twisted at Root going to the crease five overs in and ruining our best bat. So Denly’s 25 off 80 balls are more valuable than a 35 off 55 for me. I think his recent knocks have been important in our upturn in scores.
Yes, he should be the man who falls when Burns is back fit but I think Denly should then replace Bairstow as our reserve batsman. He’s showed far more application than him recently.
