Yes, poor Joe Root looks like he's been thrown in at the deep end. I'd be inclined to take Bairstow out and put Root in his place, but the problem is that it will be difficult to replace Root. He's a first-class opener for Yorkshire, and spent the 2 matches he had this season dominating that position (3 centuries including a double), and you can't do much better than that. Also he's 2013's second-highest run-scorer in first-class cricket, 1300 runs at 62. So who in county cricket at the moment looks a better test opener than Root? Back to Compton again?
