About the most Bairstow innings you can imagine. Show all the skill and talent that makes England go back time and again, wallop one needlessly to a fielder in the deep for the umpteenth time.
Not funny
Crawley, since that innings.
9, 8, 5, 13, 53, 0, 9, 5, 2, 2, 0, 17, 27, 6. Ave 11.14.
In the list of averages since then he slots in just behind Mohammed Siraj (batting 11 for India) and Nathan Lyon. It looks like it’s just not going to happen.
is it really lazy and hindsighty to suggest there was probably a reason he averaged 30 in county cricket?
yes but I’m gonna
It’s a step up from getting bowled through the gate, or lbw playing around his pad, I guess
Dropped for, erm, hameed and, I dunno, erm, Ballance?

Dunno, someone, anyone. He’s a nightwatchman at the moment.
Agree. Might as well have Leach or Mo the way they both look atm.
Hameed is due another look right? Anyone else look an interesting bat?
Given Hameed scored 100 against most of this attack, I’m not sure why he wasn’t in this game.
Tom Abell?
cause he’s had 3 months of good cricket in five years
I’d say so, been in reasonable nick and seems to have his confidence back. Although we’ll soon sort that out.
Really not. I guess Jake Libby might get a go, he’s averaging 60 this year but I don’t remember ever seeing him bat. Not going to rule out us seeing Adam Lyth again this summer. Ricardo Vasconcelos as an outsider.
And scored more runs than Crawley has in his last 10 innings in one game.
yeah, look I love him and he’s my son but i can understand not putting him back in the test side as soon as hes averaging more than 22 for the season
Great name.
Going to pretend I didn’t see Adam Lyth’s name there
Ohh ffs Jos
At least Buttler is in nick
Well all I can say is, I’m glad you aren’t my dad😤
joe root will be happy with that, he’s scored a century
Not a fan of Mikey’s “helmets have made the game worse” take.
