You make a point about it being potentially too late to pivot post India - I feel that mindset has already set in. I think he plays this winter no matter what, and if it doesn’t go well, England will move on then.
McKinney is a big gamble at 20, if England were to move now, in my mind Alex Lees would be the smart choice.
I agree with all of this though. Sunk cost fallacy for sure.
Agree - there’s no way he’ll be dropped until after the Ashes. If they wanted to replace him it would have to be right now. I really hope he finds some form and isn’t a walking wicket in Australia. I have considerable doubts about Pope too, and you can’t expect Root to have a good series when he’s coming in at 10/2 every time.
