It's The Ashes (again)

[SuperBob2002]

Hain has the wonderful ability to be comfortable changing codes brilliant 50 and t20 batter who then adapts beautifully to the red ball game. Deserves to be in the England set up but in whose place.
Mousley is also coming on in leaps and bounds as an all rounder.

Could you move Pope up the order to an opener and go with the below top order;

Duckett
Pope
Root
Hain
Brook

Crawley isn't up to the required standard, but I know we'll persist with him, despite how often he will fail. 

Agree with Mousley. He looks a real talent. He was the perfect partner for Hain to play his natural game without feeling bogged down as Mousley keeps the score ticking over.
