    He has the potential, no-one in the Board of Control/ACB knew that any of those young blokes were extraordinary from the beginning. Sad, but Cook looks spent too.

    Hameed needs to learn. He has the sand to play test cricket and needs to come through. No point in molly-coddling until he is 28. Nor should they pick some mercenary like Robson. Get the young bloke in there. Ponting, Harvey & Bradman learnt the hard way, and enough said.

    Best idea is bring cricket back to the 19th century basics. Underarm, one bounce, encourage hit and run.

    Just been watching the 2005 ashes series on youtube, seems that Trescothick god bless was the same as Ballance without the extensive back-foot trigger. Wish he was still opening for England, I watched his last sad tour match against NSW in 2006. I reckon he could have been up there with the...
