How much is down to him and how much to Morgan and the happy coincidence of a number of fine exponents of limited overs cricket being around at once I am not sure...but I think it is fair to suggest that his Test record is decidedly mixed : if the ECB were to split the role in the near future then I would indeed fancy Collingwood as a great candidate for the Test job. Wonder what he feels himself ?

Ben Coad (In much better form than Curran)
Saqib Mahmood (As above....and I believe is with the Lions)
Ravi Patel (really good young talent)
Ryan Sidebottom (Not a wind up....would genuinely have offered something)
Jamie Porter (Will play for England one day so why not)

Making_Splinters wrote:Stoneman and Malan are definitely showing they are worth persisting with. Vince on the other hand seems to have learnt nothing from his previous run in the side and simply isn’t good enough, how hard can it be to work out that he needs to stop flashing at deliveries outside his off stump until he is actual set? Root should clearly be batting at three but seems a bit selfish in that regard.
The real issue is the lack of Stokes and Ali’s complete loss of form in the engine room. Root at three and Malan at four just makes a very obliviously more sensible order, looking for a number 6 or 7 to fit in to the side.

For the drop: Ballance/Vince/Ball
Reason for apprehension: Stoneman/
Need a good match soon: Moeen/Curran/Broad/Woakes/Crane/Foakes
On the plane: Cook/Root/Bairstow/Anderson/Overton/Malan
