Now just to have more county games played (a) in summer and (b) with centrally contacted players available. Hopefully the weather will hold for another week

I've always liked him, when on form he's been well worth his place, but in recent times his form just hasn't been there for test cricket. Not sure his heart has been in it - i think he's struggled mentally with the demands, even more so during covid bbc.co.uk

I remember the odd hundred with some class but he was effectively forced to be the spin option when he was probably only good enough to be a bit better than Root. Perhaps if he'd been trusted to bat at 5 and occasionally bowl, we'd have seen a bit more from him or maybe he was 'only' very good.
