Do you ever do terse?
No offense, like, but I don't read your posts any more. Sorry.

Yeah - I hadn't noticed Stokes had come in above Buttler on Saturday (it was a long day) but definitely the right decision. I think 5 is probably as high as he should bat. Agree about the Bairstow shot in the first innings but there was also a feeling we wanted to bowl at them as quickly as possible in those conditions. Batted well in the second innings as well and Headingley to come ... Curran for Denly was mooted before the last Test - might happen. We need to win and I struggle to see Denly getting big runs
I think we ought to get the most promising youngsters in and train them to test cricket before they develop the terrible habits of seasoned county pros. Nothing about our game annoys me more than us finally discovering a decent bat and then realising he's already 28 and will have six years tops playing tests.
