Smith looks good.

Labs got through that spell. Kinda what openers do right? Should have been put there a long time ago. Now we are dicking around until he probably goes back to 3 against the WI. Wasting valuable time before an Ashes series later this year.

I reckon its less about Smith having to play 3 and more about Head being a bit too high at 4. So then put Green at 4 if you have to.

Does Khawaja get a full summer?
Probably, we aren’t flush with openers at the moment. Probably just needs one decent score in the first or second test to keep the wolves at bay.

We are decent with the bat but struggle against any elite bowler. England don’t have anyone who fits that bill, especially in Australia.

We have zero openers tbh. Poor development.

Uzi will stay as long as he can blunt whatever new ball stuff England can produce. Our strength is our middle order with Smith and Head and Green if he picks up form, same for Tinny Labs if he's not opening. If Uzi and whoever are allowing them to come in against a softer ball and score runs, they should stay.

Would ofc love genuine options at the top
