I agree but what message does just not picking anyone send lads like this. Can’t believe they have left that slot wmpty I guess that would be deemed as wasting someone’s time if they aren’t going to play probably better to play a game. As much as I want Foakes in as the keeper dropping anyone goes ...

Did it tell us he's not fit enough (Bairstow is famously obsessively fit), or did it tell us that there was a breakdown of communication (which would have been Bairstow's fault) that led to a hesitation between the two players, and which Brook then remedied? It was clearly Bairstow's catch initiall...

I think the most telling stat is that England have dropped almost double the catches the Aussies have in this series so far. At this level in particular, catches really do win matches.. Agreed but the other telling stat is extras I think that is around double as well too many no balls and byes espe...

Just seen on Twitter that Jarrow have been drawn away to Padiham in some sort of football cup.

Wow I didn’t realise Jarrow had a team that played at that level, used to love going up the Arborio’s when I was younger.

That’s my argument.
I do think it’s been a close series. It hasn’t been one sided at all.

Ahhh apologies I tried to find what you replied too and couldn’t find it and took it as read didn’t realise it was sarcasm

JarrowClaret

If it’s been so one sided all series how did one decision cost us the first test? I guess you are on the wind up so shame on me for responding, but what part of this series has been 1 sided it has been a real contest from day 1. Yes the score line is 0-2 I get that but we could have won both tests ...

Foakes test average 32.2, Bairstow test average 37.

What is Bairstows batting average as a keeper? As a batter I agree he should play but as a keeper not for me and as a number 7 an average of 32 is very good.

JarrowClaret

Much better and varied bowling attack from England, putting Australia under pressure after being put into bat. Stokes needs to swallow his pride and drop his mate Bairstow for the next test, he is a liability and is costing us wickets. The wicket has a lot in it for the bowlers so we will have to b...

JarrowClaret

Smith really is a disgrace. Suspect he would review it if he was bowled. Pity about the drops but England’s morning He is entitled to review if he doesn’t think he hit it which clearly he didn’t. Fielding has been a massive issue for us up to now too many dropped catches overall not just by Bairsto...

JarrowClaret

By the way I didn’t look at how the team would line up batting order, how many bowlers etc I was just looking at purely who is the best player for the way England play Ps an in form Jimmy or Broady would be shoe ins as well, but neither are at the top of there game at the minute that said Broad has ...

JarrowClaret

Turn it round. You could only make a case for Lyon, Smith and Cummins as definites to get in our side. I was thinking about this when I posted and then went for my sons school sports day so didn’t add it. So with the current way England play I would have the following for definite: Warner Labushene...

I would argue Broad has a good chance (maybe not after current comments though haha)

You could argue about 1 or 2 I agree but you could only make a case for the 2 I mentioned as definite which probably highlights the task we have in this series.

JarrowClaret

I’m optimistic because of: - The short turn around, Aussie seam attack aren’t spring chickens like - Nathan Lyon injury - Our lineup, which, imo is much stronger and has a lot more batting depth Bring ‘em on! I’m optimistic as well actually but as to your comment our line up being much stronger whe...

Crawley Duckett Brooke’s Root Bairstow Stokes Ali Woakes Wood Robinson Broad Interesting line up. Batting looks pretty weak That will not be the batting lineup I imagine robinson will be 11 with wood at 10 and Broad at 9 but let’s see what happens. Anyway with Woakes at 8 it is already a much stron...

JarrowClaret

Mmmm… 🤔🥴 Sorry mate, he’s just not. Had a good season and he played really well as a sweeper, and demonstrated some serious skills with the ball at his feet, but that’s not being a keeper. Some of his other skills aren’t quite where they should be for the PL. He’s big, but doesn’t dominate the 6 yd...

Tongue deserves to keep his place........showed a lot of character!

Agreed but looking like he has been replaced after doing nothing wrong a big lie Foakes

JarrowClaret

For all we know Foakes may have told them to do one. Be a bit surprised if they drop Tongue after his efforts at Lords. Also what's happened to Matt Potts? Looked great last summer then has barely been seen since. Potts is similar pace to Robinson I imagine he is behind him in the pecking order. Yo...

JarrowClaret

I hope not but you’re probably right! & just to clarify I meant to type Woakes not Foakes (lol) If Foakes was in the squad I’d probably include him though as well… If Foakes was selected he would be the 4th name on the list after Stokes, root, Bairstow and Broad the last 2 because I think they are ...

JarrowClaret

I would have called Sam Curran up for some bowling variation and extra batting - but I guess Foakes will have to do… We have a real conundrum imo with our top order - I hate moving Root from #4 but I don’t know who else can play three convincingly?! Anderson just looks off it imo and I don’t think ...

Amazed that people want Bairstow out at Leeds. Home ground and point to prove I would definitely play him

Who is saying that they would drop Bairstow?

JarrowClaret

The reluctance to call up Foakes is puzzling. Stubborn, stupid or both! It is even more puzzling when you take into account that Johnny, when keeping seems to be half the batter that he is when he is just purely a batsman, I think stats wise he averages less when keeping that what Foakes does. For ...

Wowzers looks to be a nasty (AS90) recognised by the bins either side of the rear door. Whatever hit it and left that crater was big, what a waste to take out 1 gun! Unless they had a lot of ammo on/ around it.

It's not that similar. We had an option for Beyer which means that if he didn't impress he could have returned to Germany. He was also more experienced player. Coulibaly obviously has potential but he is unproven and we must pay 15 at the end of season, no matter how good or bad he turns out to be....

JarrowClaret

The reasons they are the same are exactly as I said earlier but we can do it again. Both incidents are an attempt to punish a mistake by the batsman. One succeeds due to the batsman making that mistake and an accurate throw. Whether the batsman was playing a shot or seeking an advantage is irreleva...

JarrowClaret

I am lost that why anyone would think the Bairstow stumping with his attempt to stump Labushane (spelling) are the same. I think the biggest telltale sign that they were totally different is that if Bairstow had been stumped like that nobody would be questioning it they would all be praising Carey a...

JarrowClaret

You're right, they aren't identical, there are 2 differences. I forgot that Bairstow's throw missed. Apart from that, they are identical because it doesn't matter what the batsman does when it's bowled, it's all about what happens after : Ball goes through to the keeper Keeper catches and throws ba...

JarrowClaret

You could watch both videos side by side and they're identical apart from Bairstow leaving his crease. Whichever way you look at it, it's Bairstow's fault. I think it's really poor sportsmanship but I don't think England would have done anything differently if the roles were reversed because, as lo...

Missed all this today but from what I've seen, Bairstow got caught out by the same thing he tried to do earlier in this match except the guy he tried to get didn't leave the crease and Bairstow's throw missed. How about everyone stops trying to cat h each other out and just plays to the "spirit of ...

I’m expecting the wickets to tumble to be honest, but by the same measure it wouldn’t be a great surprise if we pulled this off. Losing Root obviously a huge blow. They only have 3 bowlers plus a few overs from head and smith whilst they are favourites and I would expect the Aussies to win, get pas...

Tbh and on reflection, it's more a question of Starc not fully understanding the rules. Did he "catch" the ball cleanly? Yes. Had he completed the catch, i.e. was he stationary when he put the ball on the grass? No. He would know from 20/20 cricket that if you take a clean catch but then your momen...

That’s how I saw it. Smith cheating as ususl How was he cheating? He wouldn’t know the ball touched the floor if it did that is.

Key points for me: Selecting Moeen and Bairstow, was it too much of a gamble Crawley losing his wicket 1st innings last ball before lunch. Brook's crazy dismisal to Lyon Bairstow and Moeen being stumped by running down the pitch when not needed. Incorrect decision to declare when Root was still at ...

If we bat on an hour in the first innings then the Test match ends in a draw. The Aussies wouldn't have chased it. The bottom line is we should have bowled them out twice and we didn't. Drop catches, missed stampings, no ball wickets. The bowlers not being fit enough to finish the Test was a big is...

We also stopped a lot of runs so it evened out, the declaration did us Nah if he hadn’t declared when he did this would have been a draw with a very dull ending.

Doubtless Bairstow, and not the selectors will take the biggest portion of flak for today's damp squib performance.
