Ashes 2019: Trevor Bayliss hopes Jason Roy can solve England's top order problems – Firstpost
FirstpostThe vexed question of who should bat at number three has been a long-running issue during Trevor Bayliss’s four-year reign as England coach and one which will end after the Ashes. London: England coach Trevor Bayliss accepts the Test side’s top order has been their Achilles heel “for the last six or seven years” as he looks to World Cup winner Jason Roy to make a success of the position during the Ashes. Fresh from playing a key role at the top of he order in England’s victorious World Cup campaign, Roy made 72 in his second Test innings against Ireland. “Jason probably looked a little scratchy but he got 72 and helped us win the game.” Traditionally, the best batsman in a Test side has come in at number three but England captain Joe Root, the most talented member of his side’s top order, prefers to bat at number four.
