Who else likes to bat at 4 and 7? Err Root and Buttler.you could

Definitely argue that Buttler has been given more chances than Ali yes but he's also very dangerous there.Ali's been a victim of his own flexibility. At the same time you are right to say that flexibility has benefitted other players but that's also partly down to our lower/middle order not being consistent enough and also being unbalanced. We had too many Cavaliers and not enough Yeoman I suppose you'd say.i'm not saying you haven't got a point because you have,I've also said on here that I thought he'd make a good England skipper.It's just not straightforward.
