with Ravi the other night and Morgan before that, Ed Smith will be thinking... Morgs, Ravi and Mo... has all the makings of the best 4, 5, 6 in test cricket
He'd play them at 1/2/3 so Root, Stokes, Bairstow and Buttler don't have to move...
he doesn't mind shuffling the pack, so I'd expect him to put Roy back as opener, ditch Burns (who is frankly just boring to watch) move Stokes to open, keep honest Joe (because he's captain so he has to stay), give the gloves to Buttler who is a destructive T20 player and there you have a magnificent looking batting line up for the Oval.... "beat that, you Aussie w@nkers!"
"oh sh1t, you did..... how on earth did that happen, Thorpey?"
"players fault, boss"
