I think that, too (see post 10).
As you say, it's hard to see him playing in the Ashes, so with Burns (an ugly player, if you ask me) yet to prove himself, we're struggling for openers again. Maybe Bairstow is the answer for one of the places, but we might need another. Jason Roy and James Vince must be possibilities.
I think I must've still been half asleep when I read that this morning. It's spooky that we shared the same observation.
77 all out pathetic performance with that batting line up, should’ve played broad as seam done it for West Indies.
I imagine most of the England players said that as they got out...
Well that went really well....
Bit of a fight back but WI 275/5....probably well out of reach already...

150 not out for Holder. Lead approaching 600, 4 wickets and loads of time in hand.
****ing hell, this is a slaughter.

England obviously thought they just had to turn up for the win. Chastening experience for this lot, we all remember Mitchell Johnson ripping us apart down under, we just couldn't handle genuine pace bowling over 90 mph, Windies look like they've got some new speed merchants we can't cope with and their confidence throughout the team will be sky-high. Now we'll see what character our lot have to come back from this in the next two tests...
Just been a post on the BBC live text that both our openers could score double centuries and we still get thrashed....
I reckon we should play normally until we get to 400, which will probably be about tea on day 5, then really go for it in the last session.
