Drop Englands all time leading wicket taker for Liam Plunkett????

I think given his 2015 County Championship form, Bairstow deserves to replace Buttler. Especially considering how out of touch Buttler looked against Aus and in particular against Nathan Lyon.
Taylor plays due to form in ODI's and spin playing ability.
Hales 2015 form again warrants a go.

Had a change of heart. Bairstow's keeping isnt good enough to play in the side as a specialist keeper.

I think they'll use Root as 3rd spinner to accommodate an extra seamer

I just saw the ICC test rankings and Ballance is rated as number 32 in the world. Which isn't bad considering he had an awful time for England this year. I think his omission from ANY squad for the coming tours is just barmy! He IS a class batsman and will get over his problems, hopefully he will be on the reserve list. England need to stick with him

Ballance will be back once he has sorted out his technical issues. Butlers keeping has been good, its just his batting that has gone to pot.

Buttler's keping was excellent in the test seriesm, but do feel free to show otherwise...
Im not sure Ballance's technique and tempo match what this current set up.
