Ballance has to go for good. He's not improved.

Got a snorter first dig by memory, so I'd give him a marginal pass. Did seem he didn't need to prove his form long enough for such a ordinary FC record. Not seen enough to judge the technique

so for the third test it appears we are going to drop Ballance and Jennings and bring in another batsman to replace Dawson :hide

The stats suggest root should bat 4 or 5 definitely not 3

Averages 45 at 3
56 at 4
73 at 5

All from a similar amount of matches

England team looks in disarray before the ashes likely to have 2 bad years in a row.

i'm not really a big believer in position by position stats

is there really any difference to how Root will do between coming in at 4-1 in the 6th over or 28-2 in the 12th over like he has today ?

Root clearly feels so as he's moved himself back to 4 as soon as becoming captain

he maybe does

i still dont see what actual difference it makes when he is regularly facing the same bowlers, in the same conditions, on the same pitches when he bats at 4 as he does when he bats at 3

not like we have had alot of success protecting him and him coming in after the new ball has been seen off by the top 3
