What a stand form Bairstow and Overton.

When he is on it, Bairstow is a joy to watch and what an innings from the debutant bowler.

Quoted from Sandford1981
Johnny Bairstow is a sad indictment of the troubles we have with batting.
With an average of mid 30s (which is prolific for this team) and recent centuries he’s not a surprise selection even though he’s been playing see ball-hit ball.
However, the amount of times he’s bowled through the gate is ridiculous. He seems incapable of defending his wicket at times.


I know it doesn't reflect well on me Sandford, but I had to dig this one out.

😂

I stand by it.

He’s a shoo in this side but he has a shocking record of being bowled. 2 absolutely outstanding 1 day innings doesn’t change that.

Bairstow is an all or nothing type batter. Can either get you out of trouble, or put you further in it, but as I say, when he's flying, there's no better site.

Root is elegant and has all the technique in the world, but Jonny is brutal when he gets going.

He certainly has flaws but all he needs is a destructive session to take the game away from a side. The interesting time will be when this new look approach backfires, which it will. That said, I actually thought the first 30 minutes of this innings was very disciplined given the chaos he walked out to.

If he finds some consistency which his recent form over the last year (ish) suggests he has, then he could be a brilliant player for us.

The idea before was runs on the board and then our destructive middle order could let loose. The flaw in that plan was, we rarely got the runs. Under the new regime it’s go out and smash it regardless.

Like Mitchell he benefited from an inexplicable failure to review a leg before that felt out to me in real time.

Apologies my mistake -I must have got mixed up in the excitement.
Was it Bairstow that Wagner put down or was that Overton too?
So much happened!! (yes I’m looking for excuses-I can’t have its Just my age and ever diminishing grey matter 😊).

Forget the 3 you didn’t get and look at the 97 you did get Overton lad! Absolutely brilliant

Just so you have some ammunition for the future when you feel like having a bit of fun at my expense-it was only last test I was questioning whether Leach was good enough to be England’s front line spinner!! 😂
