Didn't Bell start his test career at three or am I making random stuff up?

I think maybe Vaughan should move down the order to get a chance of some runs, though it is frighteningly weak down there now...we really could do with Broad.

I just don't like all this chopping and changing of the team though. I will only lead back to the bad old days when we were proper s**te and changing the team on a regular basis. The test team should be built around 22 players. A back up for each position. It seems we don't have that at the moment.
