But the ball isn't redI know I've banged on about this before, but Bairstow is an absolutely brutal red ball player.
I was genuinely surprised we brought him back in. Wont be near the side in England or Australia.I know I've banged on about this before, but Bairstow is an absolutely brutal red ball player.
feck good point.But the ball isn't red
It's a mute pointBut the ball isn't red
With how shit our openers are, we’re effectively asking the number three to be an opener in most tests. Bairstow is never that in test cricket.I know I've banged on about this before, but Bairstow is an absolutely brutal red ball player.

Sibley and Crawley are both young and starting out.
I remember thinking I was so clever when I came up with that in a drunken state.
It took me days to actually work out what the hell I meant after sobering up!
Back to the cricket. England's top order/openers are nowhere near good enough for a supposedly elite test side.
Crawley I'd agree with.Sibley and Crawley are both young and starting out.
Burns deserves another English summer.
Harsh to evaluate the above at this stage, touring India is as tough as it gets.
Sibley scored 87 one test match back. I'm no big fan either but it's very harsh.Crawley I'd agree with.
Burns and Sibley don't look fit for purpose outside of England sadly. Can't see Sibley stepping up overseas, especially in the sub-continent.
Still really think we needed one of Stokes, Root or Ali to step up to the opener spot. None have come anywhere near managing it.
Sibley it's more of a confidence thing. I can se far more innings like today than the 87 you mentioned, or even anything close to that.Sibley scored 87 one test match back. I'm no big fan either but it's very harsh.
Ali is 34, unlikely to every play red ball cricket for england again. Stokes wont open if he has any intention of continuing as an allrounder.
Root opening? I can't see it.
So good. This is such a key partnership to the match.Some of Crawleys shots this morning have been
75% of English cricketers go through the best schools in the country.How come former cricket players make a seamless transition into commentary whereas their football counterparts are fecking atrocious?
Did not understand the selection. Not sure who read the pitch!Spin on Day 1, good job we picked 4 seamers
Yeah this. Judging footballers against cricketers and rugby players always does my head in given that their background is infinitely less privileged.75% of English cricketers go through the best schools in the country.
Footballers...do not.
Darren Gough anyone?How come former cricket players make a seamless transition into commentary whereas their football counterparts are fecking atrocious?
It's also bounced and gone through at good pace though hasn't it.Spin on Day 1, good job we picked 4 seamers
InjuredWhy was Crawley not picked in first two matches? Looks great.
he fell before the first test and was injured, on this showing we definitely missed himWhy was Crawley not picked in first two matches? Looks great.
