I did not hear the interview, Mail. I believe he gave the interview to BBC Radio Leeds. I checked the iPlayer to see if it has been archived but it doesn't appear so.
Do you think England can play both Stokes and Jordan in the same XI? In my opinion, playing both gives the team imbalanced feel, especially with Buttler batting at 8. I think Buttler is wasted at 8. I also thought it telling that Stokes was used sparingly with the ball though perhaps I am reading too much into this.

I think you are right about the playing 11 against New Zealand and agree with your assessment of Stokes and Jordan. Stokes offers a better bat, Jordan better with the ball. The x-factor, if you will, is Jordan's slip catching ability though Stokes is no mug in the field. Stokes has a lot of potential but has been a bit of an enigma so far.
I do worry about our bowling, especially if Mo is off is game as he was for the last two Tests. Having Buttler bat 6 and Mo at 7 would allow us to play a specialized seamer such as Wood or Plunkett. Ultimately, though, as you suggest, I'd expect Lyth for Trott to be the only change and for Stokes to continue to get the chance to improve and impress.

Thanks for posting this list. My only guess is that there are concerns about the amount of cricket they will be playing this summer but really thought everyone, with the exception of Jimmy, could benefit from playing, especially Stokes and Jordan. Broad too as he had spurts of finding his old form but struggled with consistency.
