My point was, Bairstow has shown the ability at this level, he just needs technical work and, equally as important, confidence. But if you reduce it to the question you have, he is at least the better keeper of the two.

I would disagree, I think Butler is a better keeper than Bairstow.

Interesting viewpoint, be curious what leads you to think that.

Odd thought. If Bairstow, Buttler and Foakes are all injured, who would we select?

Got to look at English keepers who keep regularly in county cricket for that, there's not many

Tom Moore's has just been called up to the Lions (he's dogshit though)

Sam Billings has international experience

Ben Cox? I think it is at Worcester wouldn't be the worst shout

A few years ago is have said Al Davies from lancs

But I think we all know it would be Pope

Will Root break the test record for most fifties? Tendulkar currently has that with 68, Root has 47

Two hours thinking about it, I'm no nearer.  Cox and John Simpson were the two I thought of, though the reserve lad at Surrey (Smith?) looks to have potential.

Loved listening to Graeme Smith, Shaun Pollack and Michael Atherton all talking about how much of a quality player Chris Woakes is and what he brings to a team. Made me chuckle when I heard it as they obviously know a thing or two about a player, but had visions of senior player and a few others on here shaking their heads and mumbling the word pathetic!

Totally agreed with them - Love watching the guy play, he gives everything he's got, decent bat who can do a much better job than Jos the moment and is a proper medium fast that swings it - I certainly know who's opinion I would trust.

Apologies for going full kit badger but I’m pretty sure it is these - https://www.adidas.co.uk/solecourt-boost-x-parley-shoes/EF2073.html

On sale for anyone who has feet on the smaller side. 50% off and then an extra 20% with the code extra20.

Just caught the highlights, Buttler’s dismissal looks like someone who’s already given up their spot in my opinion. Perhaps he knows someone is coming in for Sri Lanka.

Woakes is light years ahead of Curran...decent front line bowler and can actually bat rather than just biff

This must be one of the biggest 'what ifs' of all time

I'm so glad we've seen what our young talent can do on this tour, especially given how bleak things were at one point! Pope has been class, but Crawley and Sibley are coming good too.
