Aye, it does put them in a difficult position.

As OG says its not surprising to an extent we look toothless without the 3 main strike bowlers, but then there is toothless and then there is wayward, which is what they've been.

If you are playing for england the absolute minimum should be the ability to hit a consistent line and length, even if you don't take wickets.
