I trust you chaps have seen the selection announcement.
The things I don't understand are, why keep Stoneman but not Vince? They're in the same boat, except Vince has had an alright start to the county season, Stoneman has been terrible. I'm not shedding any tears for Vince, I would agree with dropping him but I think they should have dropped Stoneman too. I would guess that these two Pakistan matches are his last chances.
Apparently Root will bat at 3 'for the good of the team', Malan will come in at 4 and Bairstow at 5, the latter of which is long overdue.
Why in hell's name have they gone back to Buttler?
The only good thing about this squad is that they didn't take the easy option and go back to Moeen. Instead they look to be trying to find a specialist spinner, which IMO is 100% the right move.
