RE: Which batsmen have the highest percentage of ducks in Test cricket?

Might be a few in the same boat! I wonder how much longer they will persist with Buttler and indeed how much longer Buttler wants to play Tests. Might be that he'd be better off focusing on white ball cricket especially as he appears the most likely to take over from Morgan when he retires. Then of course you've got Broad and Anderson. England will be starting to think about who is going to be in their team for the 2023 Ashes in England.

Very true as the nucleus of the bowling attack is about to step down. There are some decent prospects around and they need to start getting them ready quickly. Most teams have a rebuilding phase at some point but not with so many players all at once. Bairstow was a better keeper than Butler and often wondered where he is now. Surely Jason Roy would be better than the openers you have now if he could just calm down a bit as at least he would bring some runs.
Bairstow changed his technique and stance in order to become a more effective white ball batsman. It worked but it leaves him vulnerable on both sides of the bat. He is frequently bowled or LBW now that he's opened up his stance.
Roy just doesn't play red ball cricket at domestic level anymore so if we pick him again for the Test team then it's off the back of his form in limited overs cricket.
