I think Westley has been harshly treated...

Averaged more than Malan through the summer and he's been picked. Ballance has been dropped and recalled so many times now it's incredible.

I'd also have taken Wood (although I'd imagine he will be first can off the rank from the lions)

Leach should go over crane in my book. Send crane off to bowl with the lions rather than carry the drinks around for at least 4 test matches.

Would also have had Buttler in ahead of Foakes, nothing against Foakes, he looks a great prospect. Would have sent him off with the lions and had Buttler as a utility player. If Bairstow goes down the night before the first test, the Aussies wouldn't want to see Buttler coming in at 7.
