Plus he is more of a sticker than a dasher - as much as we need those I think him and Burns would be a touch negative at the top of the order.

Pope will come in at the Oval should we lose and will definitely feature in NZ/SA. Possible recall for Ian Bell as well
BELLY!!!!!

I do like the way Bell is currently being reassessed as a product of our golden age rather than the unreliable flat-track bully he was for much of his career.
