Am guessing it was all about the balance of the side. You could drop Brooks, and Bairstow was absolutely worth his place after the year he's had. The only available slot was opener or wicketkeeper so they've sacrificed a better keeper for a better batter. How much it will cost us will tell over time, but as it stands it's not been a great decision
Poor from Head. He's built an innings whilst Marsh was twatting it everywhere, then as soon as Marsh went he's start playing recklessly
Its doable this test match providing our batsmen don't decide its a baseball game ...plenty of time in this match
Take 100 away that we wasted on Marsh after dropped catch and we could have been batting by now. 3 to go tho so if we can roll these tailenders out all is looking alot better than an hour ago.
