flights to New Zealand for early 2013 as it looks as though their son might be playing.
Would like to see Compton dropped and Root opening with Captain Cook. Compton is a fine county player and obviously has a solid technique, but he's not a youngster and certainly looks no better than Root. I'd prefer to see a young opening partnership that could feasably open the batting for England for a decade.
Also, love a batsman who dons the cap when there's a spinner at each end. Personally, I wear a wide-brimmed hat under such circumstances but a cap is still a fine choice over a helmet.
Stay with him Swanny, let's post 350.
