Bit harsh on Carb's he was by no means our worst batter & deserves a chance against SL & India, not a lot older than Compo.
I think Bell has to stay and agree about Prior and KP. Will be interesting to see if Trott's illness is reserved for away trips only or is similar to Tresco's, if he recovers then will hold down no.3 spot with Bell 4 Root 5 Buttler 6 Stokes 7 Broad 8 Finn 9 Anderson 10 & Monty 11
Sounds like he's a fair dinkum Aussie (played for their U 19's) so he should play for them if good enough.
We have enough imports with KP, Trott, Ballance, Prior, Stokes (ish)
I really don't think Joe Root is an opener, trouble is Carbs & Compo haven't really impressed and are both getting on a bit, is there anyone else on the circuit ?
