It's nonsense, personally I see a value in his height, imagine having him and broad batting rotating the strike, that must disrupt the bowlers length as much as a left/right combo would disrupt the line.
Having a slip cordon with bairstow and Taylor should improve the catching

Good call, he chose a good time for a big score
It's easy to be overlooked when your that short, kp didn't help much in that respect

What does James Taylor have to do to get in. Skipper's A team and didn't look out of his depth against Steyn and morkel in 2012. Bell's had too many chances now and gets promoted to three crazy.

Please god no
Rob key was a bit of a boycott, not many players like that these days, they all want to get after the bowlers from the off. That's the affect T20 has had

lythe just don't look like he fits to me, like carberry . I thought Compton weren't given enough time and he was a player with the attitude of seeing off the new ball, we don't need attacking openers with bell,root,stokes, butler and moeen in the team! even if the openers can get us past 50 form the first 20 overs, that a be a start. I hope im wrong about lythe and a smacks a double ton next bat but I cant see it
You have just made the perfect case for the recall of...
Geoff Boycott!

I dunno what to say to that...
I wanted bell at three when trott had a spaz and bell was our best batsman, but that was 20 innings and not many runs ago...
Ballance will come back in the future, probably at 4 or 5.
Lythe has shown enough for me to give him more time, he's had some bad luck and very good deliverys among his dismissals, he needs to make runs in this series though or he'll be another Compton carberry key.....

What, so madame Lythe gets another go  he just don't look like he will ever be a test cricketer. Compton done better than him and he's now on the scrapheap and will probably get overlooked. Bring back trescothick

Ooooooooooooo! Nasty! 
It has been confirmed that Jonny Bairstow will bat at five, with Joe Root moving up to four and Ian Bell at three.
Gary Ballance has been dropped after scoring 23 and 14 in his two innings in the second Test at Lords.
