If you're going to choose someone who is certain of his place (when fit)

there is literally no-one else.

If we were to protect Stokes, I'd started to come round to the idea of Jos coming back in.

A good leader, incredible cricketer and he could actually be more effective in the test side batting at 8, with a simple remit to accelerate and shepherd lower order runs.

Just a thought.
