[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1067800, member: 72205"] Root needs to shoved up the order as well, 4 might be his best position but certainly isn't for the team. We're constantly sticking 3 guys with little experience into the Lions den with no support from senior players. Buttler is a shoe-in for the one day captaincy and gives most info DRS wise. However most people don't want him in the team but most of his batting problems (and the rest of the middle order) stem from not coming in at 200+ with a 60 over ball. (We score way too slowly when we actually get runs leading to them facing the new ball often as well). Stokes is another option but we already ask a lot of him as a player and he's certainly not fit from his time off. It's also not a shocker England always play better when Root isn't on the field when fielding. His captaincy is incredibly poor which you can mainly see from his treatment of spinners. All of whom are good enough but when faced with a spinning pitch last match we didn't even play ours...but have done onntwo flatish wickets now. Zero ability to read pitches. You could go into the Counties and they should TBH need wholesale changes and complete mentality change. Somerset and Essex have been at the top end of the county championship for ages and yet only Cook (retired) and Leech get near the England side. That shows a severe gap in who we are selecting.
