With an eye on our top order issues, plus trying to shoehorn numerous 6/7s into the XI: Nick Gubbins seems to have done little wrong either for Middlesex or England Lions. Could we give him a go at 3? If he and Jennings both succeed, then you have a ready made replacement for Cook in a couple of years. Obviously not the right time to try it at Lords - with a confirmed debutante and already missing Stokes - or maybe even this summer, but possibly worth a try versus Sri Lanka in November?

Seems a stronger backbone for next summers Ashes, than what we're currently looking at.
At the very least, there aren't square pegs in round holes...
Sports broadcasting media nut miscast as a hard-working family man. Or should that be the other way around?
