I'm a sucker for stumps flying. Always such an impressive sight that my immediate reaction is nearly always heeeey that's a beauty. Then you watch again...

Wouldn't be surprised.Alex Hales is going to be opening in the West Indies isn't he?
If anything though the opener revolving door problem is just yet another reason why picking 'whoever's doing well in county cricket this week' just fails more often than not. The people who will be determined to drop him in April - probably for Lyth or someone - will be the same people who were adamant about picking him I'm quite sure. Namely, people who fail to recognise that Test cricket and county cricket aren't the same thing
Unless maybe Trott comes back for next summer? Opener could be his easiest way back into the side, or George Dobell mentioned that Ballance saw himself as an opener, something that came as news to me I must say. This is all wild speculation of course, a comeback is still very unlikely you would have to say.

If I'm not mistaken you're less against using ODIs as a selectorial tool for Tests than most, would that be fair to say?

Generally. I like the idea of bringing the teams a bit closer together, and the best players are usually just the best players.

Aaron's bowled well. Expensive but I like his pace. Getting swing too.

This is cringeworthy line from Bhuv - Ballance will feast on that all day.

India would never dare to do that.
What a bowler he was! Those injuries robbed England of potentially one of its best ever bowlers. And seems like such a nice guy.
