Bopara?Alternatively you could go for someone like Hales and try to smash the shine off the new ball and get runs on the board early, Australia have gone for that fairly often in the last 20 years and it's generally worked ok for them.See I took it Chris meant as captain, but could be read either way I guess. Personally I'd like Cook back to his best just as a batsman. However if dropping him completely then I'd have Ali or Vince as opener. If you use Ali, you could have Morgan in the middle order and have him as captain as well.

Night watchman with 7 overs to go? really?
Ali out bloody hell, but he played an important part in a partnership. Up to Prior and Stokes to step up now.
If Prior's form is that much of a worry he shouldn't be in the team.
