I don't really rate Jennings, and, in any case, I would prefer to see a right and left hand partnership open the batting.

Sam Curren is the new bloke AR. I think he may be the one to make way for Stokes. I take your point about Jennings but without him they are lacking somewhat in specialist batsmen. A few too many all rounders otherwise.
