The entire problem is that we have a Test side full of talented wicketkeepers, all-rounders and middle-order sloggers. It's like the England football team in the days of trying to cram Lampard and Gerrard together in midfield. Not a lot can be done about the top order while we wait for a new Cook, Strauss, Vaughan or Tres to emerge, but at the very least, whatever personal bugbear is keeping Root from number three needs to get kicked out the window, because as things stand, he's already coming in to face the new ball with two wickets down after six overs every single match.
