I seem to remember Bairstow being found out by pace in his early days as an England player?

He had significant issues with one bowler - Kemar Roach - who had a habit of making his bouncer jag back in to the right hander.  YJB has made technical changes since then, and even that same summer was thrashing Morkel and Steyn around Sarf London.

Hmmm. Obviously things are dufferent now and he made technical changes. But I don't remember too many cries of "but YJB is one of the best players of pace in the country" around here.

God CRICINFO's new look is driving me mad!!!!

Where's the old text commentary bit with all the pre-match banter from the commentators - I can't find it?

Dumbfounded by Malan playing.

Everyone on Reddit has been pretty mad about it. Jarrod Kimber did an AMA last week and didn't even appear to like it much either...

Thank Fudge for that - I thought I was going mad!

So KP is saving rhinos, the ECB have decided to get stuck in with saving oceans. But which one's better? There's only one way to find out!

What on Earth is that on Warney's face...

As I remember the cries were more 'Why does YJB keep playing across straight ones from pace bowlers'! Which was what led to his stance change.

Glad Malan is playing, hopefully that's the end of the 6 bowlers nonsense.

Cricinfo's new site is the worst website reformat I've ever seen. Been done 'to make it better for mobile' supposedly, but it's even worse on there!

Any links for live-streaming?

This!!!  It's utter poo-cakes!  Cricinfo is the best service for text commentary and updates, as well as cricket news and this new layout feels far less user-friendly and is confusing for us old farts (which must be the majority that use it!)

Aaaargghhhh!!

How nice is the South African One Day. warm up and practice kit compared to England's? How did NB get it so wrong for England?
