There are three batsmen under pressure, and I'm sure that at least one of them may be out for the next test. Maybe time for Borthwick to be recalled?

Maybe time for Borthwick to be recalled? Could be Borthwick. They need to find someone who wants to bat for a long time. Too much one-day stuff has lead to batsmen who are too attuned to quick twenties and thirties. We are lucky that we have two all-rounders. The top five need to be specialist batsmen. I don't think Ballance has got any better. I'd like to see a younger player like Bell-Drummond given a run in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm in the Bell-Drummond camp too. Jason Roy as an experimental option at 4? With a strong lower order and a lack of proper batsmen grabbing their chance surely we could be picking a team with one eye on the winter tours, I'd go something like... Cook Bell-Drummond Root Roy Moeen Bairstow Stokes Woakes Rashid Broad Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Roy's defence isn't great. I'd try Cook Bell-Drummond Root Hales Bairstow Stokes Woakes Buttler (wet) Rashid Broad Anderson We need a better keeper and whilst Buttler isn't great, he's better then Bairstow.

I just worry that with consideration to where we are touring next we are not looking hard enough at the two spinners option enough already...

Borthwick, when originally picked for England, was in the side primarily as a leggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 One more world class batsman at 4 or 5, and we'd be an immense team. A 25 year old KP, without the baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Roy, even at T20 level for Surrey he attacks too much and gets out to stupid shots. Bumping Hales down the order would be a good move imo... Root learned a lot from his difficult spell as an opener and I think we could see the same for Hales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
