#2 Shaky and insecure top-order
England has problems running all through their top order. The runs have dried up from Alastair Cook's bat, and more technical problems seem to be popping up game after game. Some people are even questioning his presence in the side and rightly so.
However, England has an even bigger problem at the other side as they failed to identify an opener to replace the big boots of Andrew Strauss. They have used twelve players in the opening slot and are nowhere close to finding the answer. It seems that it's only a matter of time before Mark Stoneman faces the ax too.
They have struggled to replace Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell at No 3 and No 5 respectively. Ben Duckett, Tom Westley, James Vince are some of the names who have been tried at No 3 and have failed to live up to the hope. They must be looking for divine intervention to sort out these never-ending problems.
England doesn't have too many options ready to replace them and they'll have to dive deep into the county circuit to pick up replacements, and the signs aren't promising either.
