The results are in but there’s not much to choose between incumbent Joe Denly and the 2019 County Championship’s leading run-scorer Dominic Sibley.
57% of you voted for Warwickshire’s Sibley to stroll straight into the opening slot whilst 43% want Kent’s Denly to retain his position. Of course if Sibley does open alongside Rory Burns in New Zealand then Denly is still likely to retain a place in the XI at number three. Captain Joe Root is almost certain to yo-yo to number four once more.
Needless to say that Zak Crawley, another Kent man, will need to outperform the competition in the warm-up matches if he’s to convince http://www.sillypointcricket.com followers that he should play in the first Test.
Many thanks for voting and look out for my next poll soon.
