Maybe now Bairstow will actually have to earn his place in the Test side back instead of being gifted to him. Not holding my breath for that though.

Send him to the airport now and call up Foakes FFS. How would Crawley have done any worse than him in this match, only benefit was when Butler was off the field yesterday. His last chance must now have finally come

Not the best shot from JB but funny how there wasn't the same level of condemnation for Burns or Stokes when playing dubious shots and getting out too.
Burns and Stokes aren't averaging 18 this calendar year.

For a period of time they actually showed some application. Jonny just fished at a new ball without even a thought

They actually quoted Bairstow's stats on eothe Sky or The Cricket Social yesterday. Since his one good summer his average has consistently been dropping year on year.

Hopefully they put him on a flight back home and don't call him up again until he's got a shed load of county championship runs under his belt (I won't hold my breath though)

I’m not entirely sure Bairstow has a brain.

There is similar condemnation for these players! Just not from the media/ECB or those refuse to see these players failings. However!!! Bairstow has been awful for a long time and his technique and mentality is shot . He should be stripped of his test contrAct and sent to never play again. He’s 29/30 anyway and has been given enough chances to fail.

Not that this team or management will have the kahunas . England have shown fight but still too many shots. Buttler is wafting a way,
As is root!! Just leave the bloody ball if it’s not hitting the stumps !!!!!

Not just runs!! Like ballance he needs to change his technique and mentality too before anyone should even start to consider him again. Red ball central contract should be stripped off him (ahooodnt have got one this year in the first place )

Someone please defend root. He’s been flashing off the front and back foot outside off loads and finally, yet again nicks off.. why oh why is a supposed ‘world class’ batsmen not able to adapt and just leave the bloody thing alone !!!

Game over as Buttler is nibbling at balls too and the rest can’t bat

It’s insulting to Smith and Kohli that Root used to be mentioned in the same breath as them when discussing the best batsmen in the world. He only gets easy runs these days... a bit like Sir Ian Bell.

Root was always 4th in the list with the others but does not do hard runs which all the best do, since becoming captain he is going downhill when his potential is up there with the best we had.

Bairstow just does not have at this level but we knew that 12 months ago.
