I know. Someone should tell the BBC. Or England.
Secret Agent Bayliss has really done some good work hasn’t he?
Just needed all of us to say that he isn’t a test batsman to get him to stop pretending to be a test batsman and become very fun instead
We’ll be done in 2 overs tomorrow, but it would be great if instead, we could frustrate them for an hour or so and put on another 50 or so, wouldn’t it?
Shit gets wickets
Thought this tweet was pretty fair. It’s not really his fault that too often he has to come in and play a completely unnatural game because of the inadequacies of those below him.
Since his recall in May 2018, Jos Buttler has made more 50+ scores in than any England batsman in Tests and has a higher average (36.51) than anyone in the current side.
Interesting stat from the BBC report on today’s play, though probably says more about the rest of the batting line than about Jos.
Maybe i feel a tiny bit bad now
Maybe
Absolute state of this.

No one averaging over 36 except Foakes
On that basis, we’re only a few runs short of expectations give long term batting averages (about 280). That Woakes is only slightly behind the top order with about half the matches played is a real concern.
INCORRECT. it’s time for the Vince recall. Tbf a pretty 20-odd would be an improvement over most of our top order atm
Moeen averaging less than Mark Wood
7 top order batsmen averaging under THIRTY, never mind 40, of those playing 5 or more tests. I think the selectors might have to have something to answer for as well.
let’s cheer ourselves up a bit with this

Sorry, you are quite right.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke
It’s been the one consolation, to see that absolute bellend fail.
