You don’t have 4 seamers and Stokes. If Archer and Jimmy plays and Robinson keeps his place there’s no Woakes, no Broad, no Wood?Aye Overton defs gets in ahead of him doesnt he

You are hard work and contribute nothing insightful to the board at all just little snipes all the time.

I think that’s the point there in the best 7 batsman in the country therefore should play.
Whether they good enough for international cricket is kind of a side issue if the other options worse

I disagree firmly that Buttler is one of the 7 best in the country.
This paragraph stands out from the article:
Equally, Jonny Bairstow has now gone 18 Tests (that's 34 innings) and almost three years without a century. In that time, he is averaging 21.40 with a top score of 57. This was his sixth duck in that period. It doesn't say much for the production line of county cricket that he has been able to retain his place.

I think in an ideal world the best 7 batsmen in the country on current form should play. Form and confidence play a big part in batting, However as the ECB have decreed that no first class cricket should be played in the summer months, it impossible to asses top county players, and its also not possible to return a struggling test player back to his county to rediscover his touch.

I was for giving Buttler a go and have defended his selection. I don’t think he had been a success or an abject failure and there’s only lack of credible options which would keep him in. I’m ambivalent really but think we should take a fdifferent direction with Bairstow at 7 keeping wicket. Even then I’m not arguing that with any passion or certaintyNot saying anything as I have an agenda
Once again I’ll say I’m happy with either at 7. But neither as a specialist batI was for giving Buttler a go and have defended his selection.

True I think the problem is trying to find 5 batsmen that we can realistically call specialist.

Oh indeed.
Given where either bat, it’s actually just one spot - number 6 (with Root and Stokes at 4 and 5). We need a number 6, and my argument is that that’s not Buttler or Bairstow. I hope it’s Pope, his first class record suggests it could be. Could it be Livingstone or Clark? Maybe.
the issues 1-3 are completely separate discussions.
