25-3..Cook caught behind, trying to hook only the second short ball of the game. 170 was optimistic.
See I thought Cook was right to go attacking. Let's face it, if he doesn't, the run rate sits at 1 with Ballance at the crease. Load of piss from the top 3/4 again. NZ bowled well but Warne is spot on, nobody has the attacking mindset to play vs new ball bowlers. Nobody gets out the crease or takes risks or looks to invent scoring shots. Diabolically dull in the top order YET AGAIN. You can effectively play ODI cricket in test cricket these days and it will work. Look at Warner and the Aussies. 350+ every single day they bat in test matches.
Dare I say it...... Alex Hales
Think Ben Stokes is playing a blinder!Root carrying England again then.
Hales should be first name on the team sheet in ODI amd T20 imo, test match, well given how well Balance has done he wouldn't be replaced at 3 and Lyth probably deserved a shot, however if he doesn't perfom vs NZ i'd get Hales in for the ashes, get an attacking player like we did with KP in 05I don't even need to mention how many times I've said I want Hales in England's top 3. It's beyond a joke now that he isn't at least 'included'.
I'd argue Jason Roy has the potential to be that kind of player, just not yet.Unlukcy for Root, if ever anyone deserved a ton, he did. I'm going to argue the toss about Cook, he got out to a daft shot given the circumstance. Two down in the first morning of a Test with the ball swinging you don't go hooking and give your wicket away. For me the comparison with the Aussies is irrelevent, they know if someone goes cheaply, they have the quality to step up. England don't and we don't have an attacking batsman who can get after the new ball. Except, of course, Hales.
