11 maidens in a row just shows how much this batting line up can�t relive pressure. Great batting but some ordinary dismissals at the top top level.

Going to need something special in the context of this series just to avoid the follow on

We don't deserve Stokes, incredible resilience with a fair bit of luck. Not bad from Bairstow either

Great fight from Stokes. Side strains are no joke

Hat off to Bairstow too, I know many on here had written him off previously.
Tough character and I'm greatly enjoying him despatching Lyon into the stands.

What was that from Buttler though

Butler has gone it�s time just for one day cricket.

I�m not Bairstows biggest fan but to score when he has hardly played any cricket recently is some going.

Totally pumped for YJB.

Brilliant, brilliant knock from Bairstow, moreso after that ball he took on the thumb.

Devondumpling00 · « **Reply #907 on:** January 07, 2022, 07:39:08 AM »

Top innings and very happy for him. That blow to the thumb was nasty.

I thought this team would fold after the Root and Malan wickets

Well batted Jonny B great to see us bat out a day and was good to watch a bit of the stokes & Bairstow partnership. Not been his biggest critic in the past but either his biggest fan but he does does seem to one of of those with a bit of heart and fight about him which has ruffled some media feathers before.

Butlers was an awfully tame way to get out for someone that can be as dynamic as he can be so think he is done but not for JYB to take the gloves, can he just focus on batting for a while please.

That Hameed dismissal was really poor...Crawley pretty loose too. Great stuff from YJB

Terrific fight back from Stokes and Bairstow! Hats off to them! Real fighters.
Just when I was thinking that Stokes bowled to many overs, he proves he's an iron man!
Bairstow, I knew he's going to preform, well done!

Hope this innings silences all the Bairstow haters! Well played!

Have criticised Bairstow plenty, and I still don't think he's the solution for England, but you cannot fault the grit, determination and sheer balls he's shown there.

Buttler is done, think Hameed needs to be sent back to county cricket to continue his rehabilitation as a batsman, Crawley likewise should be sent for some serious coaching work.

It's a great knock (and absolutely respect it) but also his first century in 3 and a bit years (20 tests) during which time he averaged 21.3 despite being a player of many years and many games experience at test level.

Would much rather see him continue to be an all time white ball great for England than have the occasional great knock for the test side.

It�s a bit of a merry go round but England could well give the gloves back to Bairstow after this tour and that would leave a batting spot. Pope or Burns to return maybe.

I actually think Foakes should keep and then pick the best 6 batsmen ahead of him.
Which would not be an easy task
