Ironic, given the number of opening partners came and went over two years as Cook struggled.

Moving Compton to open is unfair to a man who is a regular number three and it's time England stopped P$$ing about with square pegs and round holes.

He was only just behind Buttler as top scorers in UAE, scoring a ton, which was progress. He has weaknesses and strengths, and after a low scoring game, it's tempting to focus on his flaws. I'd like to think that if he came as a first choice pick, a couple of tour matches shouldn't really shake that confidence in him. If he was left out, it would be for Ballance, who arguably has a worse batting method.

They share the same problem, their footwork is krap. No lateral movement and rely on hand-eye coordination and bowlers bowling wicket to wicket.
