Reluctant to move Root away from 4. Could Bairstow come in at 3 and bring Buttler in to keep wicket? Bell given a drink at the Last Chance Saloon? Ballance in at 3 with Compton up top?

I like the lad, but he's a dasher and his technique is nowhere near good enough for number 3.

f**ked if I know what they can do. I guess it is a case of seeing who starts the season well in the Championship - as the travails of Robson, Hales, Lyth and all show, it isn't proving to be a particularly fertile ground for producing openers but at least they should go with a man in form.
Otherwise they should pick the five most likely openers and get Sir Geoffrey to work with them for a while and let him pick the best one

I often think we make a mistake by putting what is essentially a third opener in at number 3. It never really works.

Hopefully there to ensure that it is not needed.
