Stoneman our for 4. Good to see Butler back, should have been in team way sooner. Top order is still a worry, but Roots moves up to 3 which is needed. Should hopefully stop us being 20-2 every test. Never heard of this Bess guy though, bit out the blue.
Same **** different year. Why the hell we decided to bat first in these conditions I will never know.
Should never have made Root cpt, was the only one making runs for England and now form has disappeared with the extra responsibility.
Problem is, who else is there? They were obviously looking to the future and bar Bairstow & Stokes, there's no one else that you'd say is certain to be in the team.
