Lyth was a walking wreck, as was vince. It was hard to give faith to these guys. Compton and Robson needed more time though. Sam deserves another go

Duckett comes in off the back of a great season, struggles in a couple of games and bang he's gone
we did the same with Robson, with Lyth and others
we keep hearing about how big the step up is from county cricket to tests but expect people to make that jump immediately and if they dont discard them and you end up with a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy that players have seen all their predecessors discarded if they aren't immediately successful and end up putting extra pressure on themselves to succeed straight away
