I would have went for James Taylor who IMO should have been given a longer run in the Test set up than he had. I reckon he has as much ability as Root. But there's nothing better than seeing a player dropped, go away improve their technique, come back and weigh in heavily. Gooch comes to mind. Hopefully Bairstow has upped his game and proves it.
