England Test selectors face batting dilemma

A group of England batting hopefuls will try to impress national selectors when the next round of the County Championship comes Sunday in transition. England are set on May 19 by James Taylor and some question marks over the form of incumbents Nick Compton and Alex Hales, it looks at Headingley in Leeds, and begin the forced retirement Sri Lanka in a three-Test series host a be few places to win in the No.5-ranked team of the batting order.
Yorkshire Gary Ballance and Australia-born Middlesex opener Sam Robson are two players in the settlement with the test match experience, and they run on the floor with a double of 231 and 106 against Warwickshire at Lord's last month. Robson services especially have pressure on the established No.3 and Middlesex players Compton Robson, who had the county season with scores of 0, 44 and 38. Compton has begun a satisfactory series against South Africa in England Test recent outings, but doesn 't seem to have a mortgage on a position, and with speculation that coach Trevor Bayliss is sharp star batsman Joe root to move up to the first drop, other candidates may be preferred among the numbers four and five. Another of them is James Vince, a 25-year-old right-hander, who made an impressive 119 for Hampshire against Yorkshire one - comfortable in Headingley - when the two sides met just two weeks ago. Vince has been on the national radar for some time and has in an ODI and four T20 internationals represented England. His century in Leeds earned the praise of the opposition coach Jason Gillespie.

"But when I turned up with half a tank, I would not give the best chance of England place to consolidate." Hales, now back already in County Action for Notts against Yorkshire, his Test debut against South Africa made in the 2015-16 summer opening in all four games, but his eight innings just 136 runs at an average of 17 and a top score 60 seconds. It was a performance that openly declare the door for other candidates left their case for selection via the loop circuit.
"In the best part of 24 months, I had no more than three weeks away Cricket had" Hales BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra said. "I had to be quite honest broken, probably more mentally tired. It was nice to eliminate from the game." The most important thing came back with a full tank and a desire to score as many runs as I can. The break has done 100 percent that, I have not looked back. "Young Kent opener Daniel Bell-Drummond started his season in a blaze of glory, scores of 206 posting and put 124 quickly his name in lights, while others untested opener, 28-year-old Durham star Mark Stoneman, another with a century his 2016 campaign have kick started -. hit 141no against Middlesex Elsewhere Yorkshire Adam Lyth has his chances of a recall no harm with a century done for Yorkshire against Hampshire last month, while 118-test veteran Ian Bell made 174 for Warwickshire against Hampshire - to ensure his name remains on the table - his 51st first-class hundred.
