Hick shouldn't have been at no6. He cheated. Stokes deserves the record as a true number 6

I was thinking that Hick was a higher order batsman who was pushed down to 6,and even 7, due to an inability to consistently perform at Test level as a high order batsman.

Has an Englishman scored 200 in a test quicker than that?

223-5. Root gone. Should be 400+ on this wicket really. England need to pull their fingers out and stop giving their wickets away.

Yeah. They probably should
