they certainly used to be your right. unfortunaltly in League cricket certainly in Middlesex no one stays for a post match beer, and believe it or not most teams leave without showering

its disgusting and you can store it up for sledging in the return matches, 'send down the piano see if he can play that and pass the soap too'

Yes. The two trends are almost certainly not unrelated.

The Guardian are running with Denly being dropped and Bairstow being recalled to bat 3 in SL. Amazing.

Genius Ed Smith earning his salary again if true. Not only has Bairstow done precisely sod all to warrant a recall, but he�ll actually be promoted to what�s arguably the most important position in the entire batting line-up (sorry openers).

What a weak call. Genuinely pathetic if true.

Oh no...and the Guardian seem always to be right.

Really hope that�s not true, but I fear it is. With the emergence of Sibley Crawley and pope it basically rightly(in my view) shut out Bairstow....
And looks like they are sticking with Butler with the gloves, so the only way to shoe horn him in is Denlys place.

At number 3 is have Denly Seven days a week and twice on Sunday over Bairstow-he has no technique for tests

England strike again.. bairstow is turd and shouldn�t have a red ball contract let alone be in the squad or team.. especially not in tbt top six and as wk not above foakes

Just as they finally start to play test crixket and you can start (if Buttler, bairstow and Curran are removed) get behind the team they go and destroy all the good will in one go. Sigh

Certainly looks like we have the basis of a good side, Archer to come back and maybe Woakes if fit will play more, the batsmen are getting used to test cricket...

Personally I like Butler, but a choice between him and Foakes I�d have Foakes....

If they are giving Butler more time then fair enough, he may have a good tour of SL if he is first pick.

Bairstow I cannot fathom out at all as a supporter, he�s had his chance in tests and got found out, he is never a number 3

You got to ask sometimes are there favourites? He is close to Root, does that sway opinion?

For me the best thing about this current tour is the young batsmen doing well, I also think Denly has done ok myself.

Denly averages 30 in 14 Tests, and has yet to score a hundred. People has been cast aside for similar, or less?

It would make sense to take him to Sri Lanka, though, because he can double up as a reserve opener? Otherwise, who else? Jennings?

Bats_Entertainment · « **Reply #1269 on:** January 28, 2020, 08:48:11 PM »

Even Gary Ballance still averages 37 in Tests! (I just checked.)

I wonder what Dawid Malan averaged - I didn't think he was that bad and didn't get as much of a run as some others

FattusCattus · « **Reply #1271 on:** January 28, 2020, 09:03:53 PM »

Oh - 28. That's a shame

SouthpawMark · « **Reply #1272 on:** January 28, 2020, 09:11:48 PM »

Denly is doing a good enough job at 3 to keep his place. He�s certainly not doing badly enough to be replaced by Bairstow, which would be the ultimate insult for any top order batsman.

Ed Genius Smith seems to be obsessed by �names�, and will try to crowbar the likes of Bairstow, Roy and Buttler in to every side regardless of whether they are suited to the format of cricket or not. The Bairstow ship (IMO) has sailed. He changed his game to be a success at the hit n giggle stuff, and it�s resulted in serious flaws in his technique whenever anyone decides to bowl at his stumps. Smith�s selections remind me of the Ericsson and Capello eras of the England football team, where you were selected on who you are, and not what you are. I really hope he gets the chop this summer as he absolutely infuriates me.

It would be interesting to see what he averaged in, say, his first 5 tests, and then what he averaged subsequently. I think his overall average for England will still be benefitting from a very fast start.

Not really, he may be more valuable as a bit of leg spin with Root bowling some offies, plus Bess and Leach if fit, so we are covered for spin if Moeen does not tour, even if he does we need a few spinners to choose from.

It's simple from my armchair, Burns is out we need a number 3....if there is a really good option or a potential young player fine take him instead.

Couldn't give you 1 name who that could be but Bairstow as a specialist batsman when he's done nothing to be recalled makes no sense.

I think for whatever reason he's been told he will fit back into the team. There's no logic I can see.

Does anyone in the forum actually think YJB should come back in as a top order batter? Please step forward.
