HE has essentially opened with the 2 quackers falling very early. Has shown great ability to defend and leave on what appears to be a tricky pitch (evidenced by the number of caught behinds).He seems to be in the best form of the various contenders, but…. he’s not an opener and I don’t think he ever has been. Batting in a new spot in the order against India is a hell of a trial by fire.
He is probably the front runner at this stage IMO.
