Well indeed, Carberry didnt return massive scores but he tried damn hard to fight the tide, and that for me is what I am not seeing from Lyth. You have to at least satisfy some criteria, but with Lyth he neither technically looks like a test opener, nor has the mentality.
If he had survive to the close of play, edge a few good balls, been dropped three times, but was not out without scoring I would applaud him. Instead he seems to play at balls under pressure and find ways to get out, and that for a test opener is a dangerous tendency.
A vast improvement is needed in the next 3 innings or, for me, he doesnt see out the series.
