The real problem is that we can't find 11 players who can be relied on to do anything much, with the possible exception of Curran, with bat and ball. The crisis is far deeper than what order in which to play these very average players, I think. But cricket is a wonderful game and this same team may suddenly become world-beaters - and they may not. Jennings bowling first change, for Heaven's sake! Even if he sneaks a wicket, it's desperate.
I don't like the central contract system. Time was they picked the eleven who were in the best county form and made one of them captain. Nowadays, you stay in the team even when you are well out of form. Vince is in great form. They pick him - then leave him out. Has he become injured, or doesn't he drink as well as the others?
