From what I hear it may be Zak Crawley who is next into the hot seat.

Sibley's stats look good but my understanding is that he is a batsman in the Geoffrey Boycott mould and nowadays we look for someone who can score a bit quicker

One of those could be solved if Joe Root would move up a place but he won't

I commented on this, it is essential that we have a proper top batting order but Root stays at three or four whilst we don't have an opener. Root seems to choose his own place - whilst he should be doing what's best for the team. Perhaps move Stokes and Ali right up the order? There still seems to be a shortage of good enough top order batsmen. The one opener I thought did best of a bad lot was Hales but I've seen nothing of him this season so can't say how he's been doing. Roy and Vince both seem so royally unconvincing.

Zak Crawley......Not related to John I take it.

Personally I think Hameed will come again.

I don't think so

I wasn't aware of questionable habits - except to swing at balls that could be left. I can't remember all of the names but England seem to have struggled to find a settled top order for quite some time. There have been a couple that have come and gone. This has been somewhat alleviated by having a tail that can bat a bit. I didn't want to say 'wag' but I have now anyway.
