The thing is our batsman (for the most part) contributed to their own dismissals with poor shots/shot selection.
We have been so much better than everyone recently perhaps it's a case of thinking it was easy?
Hopefully their minds will be fully focused now otherwise we can say goodbye to the no. 1 slot.
I like the look of Hales he could come in at 4/5
Bopara is unavailable for personal reasons so they've added James Taylor to the squad.
Well if we lose Bresnan for Finn we need a proper solid batsman to come in for Bopara, because Bresnan can at least add some runs to the cause, Finn is another Anderson - an absolute write off in the run scoring column.
Morgan, Bairstow and Bopara have all been failed experiments. Who can step in? where is the batting depth at Test level?
