So who takes the gloves? If you play Buttler as a batsman and a specialist WK do you leave out another batsman or a bowler. Can you fit them both in

It isn''t all about your opinion. Others may have other ideas. It's' the idea of a forum to ask questions and get answers

If Foakes comes into the side who do you leave out since Stokes is not in this side so we are in effect a batsman short?
Going to be harsh on one of Butler, Stokes, Pope or dare I say it Root.

Would be hard to make a strong case for any of them currently, all have got enough credit for now, thus wont be happening (compared to 3 games ago when Buttler wasnt sure of his place and Stokes was available). Expect the clamour would be far stronger if we had a spinner bowling lots of overs (but the lack of a decent attacking spinner negates the keeper argument to a small degree). May well look different on the sub continent this winter when we will have to bowl a lot more spin overs.
Squad/side for India will be interesting, could make an argument for quite a lot of changes to the side in English conditions (especially amongst the bowling). Sibley of the batters may not be seen as optimal in spin friendly conditions whilst Broad, Anderson and Woakes likely to be less preferred of the bowlers with pace more preferred. Finding a decent spin threat with the ball critical too (not sure where were going to find one apart from at passport office tho!)

Well this is going well. Superb partnership from Crawley and Buttler and now 2 quick wickets, just what we needed.

What a days cricket and what a knock by Crawley and Buttler. Jimmy back hungry to silence the knockers too.

"Cymbals" been much more solid with the gloves in this game, couple of superb catches today (especially the one off Bess given his recent struggles), amazing what a bit of confidence from the batting can do.

I wouldn't want to be in the same locker room with Jimmy Anderson as a slip fielder this evening...

Burns has now dropped 41% of the chances offered up to him at slip. Only Jeet Raval has dropped a higher percentage since Burns' debut.
