Foakes was man of the series in one of his two series in the team, and is by far the best gloveman. Classic face doesnt fit rubbish. I wonder how many teams with a batting line up with ours would drop a guy with a test average of 40, who is also a superb keeper.
Its ok to play a front line spinner with a FC average of 40 in tandem with someone who retired from FC cricket, but god forbid a guy with one of the best bat averages around get into a team with two other wicket keepers.
Its not like England have picked 7 all rounders for the last 4 years, is it.
Makes perfect sense to change the policy on the person with the second best bat average currently available, and who was the player of the series in our last series win.
