England seems like a mates club now. Foakes’ face doesn’t fit, or he’s pissed them off somehow…. Presumably by not playing golf.

Shame on him. Golf is fun. But yeah, he’s the best keeper and I think YJB would bat better without the gloves. Who would you drop?

Stokes not being able to bowl makes it tricky; so probably be a straight swap Bairstow for Foakes

I’d take out Crawley. Partially because I think YJB is better, but mostly because I don’t like his face.

Ha, I’m surprise how well Crawley has done. Although he’s usually woeful so it doesn’t take much.
That’s a good shout though, Crawley for Bairstow.
