Bairstow on the way to the crease
Shame. He was looking positive this morning.

I see our run machine is running from runs again.
Sam Curran next match and now there can be no fucking cricket wannabe’s arguing against, that was proper fucking shit that.
Let’s see how many wickets he takes.
How did he do last time?
And I’ll add I wanted him to play to give him a chance but he’s now blown it as far as I am concerned after that batting bollocks, the lad is shot to fuck, no good to anyone, a passenger.
We’ve got 2 all rounders in the team and one is heavily weighted in bowling and the other batting, thats not really a good situation.
England 374 all out lead of 90
