The worst thing about this top order for England is that they can't stick around and they don't score runs.

If they could last 50 overs but didn't score, that'd be one thing with the middle order England have.

If they only lasted 15 overs but scored 70 runs, then again that would be manageable.

But they just hang on for 20ish overs and score 30 odd runs.
 
Just saw two of the wickets on the BBC site. Mildly entertained that the commentators thought the Burns one might be going wide. Top of middle was predicted.

I'll give the batsmen the benefit of the doubt that they thought it was high. Brute of a ball to get though and Burns' playing line isn't pretty.

Yeah makes you appreciate guys like Cook that much more.
 
We should have someone at the top who just smashers the bowlers all over the place because at the moment they just surviving then getting out..
 
Might as well give some white ball openers free license to try and blast 20 or 30 up top and get the innings moving.

This current lot, are just farting about for a bit, not scoring and not settling into longer innings.

Might as well let Jason Roy, Hayles etc have a quick blast anyway.
 
Hameed might not be far away from a recall doing well for Notts.
I would bring Vince back not had as many chances as some of this lot.
Roy no chance.Hales will not play for England while Giles is around.We need to get our top order playing some 4 day cricket.

Some of them might be available in April/May, if they're not playing sloggit somewhere. Other than that, er....
